Fiction[edit | edit source]

Robo Machine featuring Challenge of the GoBots annuals[edit | edit source]

Travelling from GoBotron to Earth with Professor Von Joy's new Battle Suit system, Spay-C, Scooter and Matt encountered Daidenjin with Vavilos and Biodragon from the planet Godaikin. They warned the pair of Guardians of Renegade activity in nearby space lanes before moving on, which meant Spay-C, Scooter and Matt were well prepared when the Renegades did attack.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Daidenjin's appearance in a GoBots annual stems from Bandai's decision to ship unsold overstock from their American GoDaiKin super-robot line over to Europe, where Robo Machine stickers were slapped on to try and shift the toys. A list of names was then likely passed to some hapless World Distributors staffer, who was then asked to reference some of them in the annual.
  • While a Robo Machine Daidenjin has yet to be confirmed due to the less-than-scientific way the toys were released the figure was advertised in the 1985 Robo Machine catalogue.
  • Like Tough Trailer, Pro Truck Racer, the Varigale-X, Bio Robo and Bio Dragon, Daidenjin originates from the long-running Super Sentai franchise, specifically the Daidenjin mecha from the 1980 instalment Denshi Sentai Denjiman. The toy was created by Popy for their Chogokin line.
