Originally released by the now defunct TAKATOKU Toys in 1982 this toy was acquired by Bandai and sat in their vaults until recently. It is now being re-released for a limited time. One of the original transformable toys, it set the standard for others to follow. With a very sturdy construction of die-cast parts and ABS plastic body parts it can, through an ingenious set of hinges and joints; transform between Battroid, Gerwalk and Fighter modes without removing any body pieces. The markings will be painted on unlike the original release, which contained stickers.
