(Sorry, out of stock...SOLD for $45.00) GoBots "Scorp" Transforming Robot, by Tonka. Back in 1983, a line of Popy and Bandai transforming robots were licensed to the Tonka Company in the US to be sold as...the GoBots! These were great little robots...well-made, diecast metal, highly detailed...but whereas they got the jump on the Takara Diaclone toys to be marketed in the US by almost a year, they were eternally doomed to second-place status when the Transformers began to be marketed...even though they were all from basically the same origins back in Japan. The GoBots were great, but their TV show tie-in was...well...lacking. Just didn't have the same feel to it as the Transformers...it skewed a bit younger in its market. Here is one of the most unique entries in the GoBot line, "Scorp", an "Enemy Robot Monster" which turns into a creepy scorpion! This one is MINT-CONDITION, unopened, STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL CARD! A *great* robot. Out of stock.
