(Sorry, out of stock...SOLD for $135.00) GoBots Renegade Gift Pack #1 Transforming Robots, 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 pretty bad! Just didn't have the same feel to it as the Transformers...it skewed a bit younger in its market. Here is one of their "Gift Pack" groupings of three bad-guy "renegade" robots: "Stinger", a cool-looking golden car; "Twin-Spin", a double-bladed helicopter, and everyone's favorite baddy "Cy-Kill", which transforms into a motorcycle, complete with accessory wheels and engine. This set is in MINT-CONDITION, unopened! A great robot set from 1985. Out of stock.
