Machine Robo Series[edit | edit source]

  • Jeep Robo (1983)
    • ID number: MR-28
    • Accessories: Machine gun
Jeep Robo was the 28th figure in Bandai's Machine Robo Series and transforms from robot to Jeep in 6 steps. He also features a removable machine gun that can be wielded in robot mode. He is also susceptible to wear in several places, particularly his head and his hip joints. The former tends to slide down into the body easily. His plastic windscreen pieces are also often lost on loose specimens. Like the rest of the range, the figure retailed at ¥600.
  • The figure was later issued as the GoBots figure Geeper-Creeper, with no significant changes beyond the omission of the extra sticker sheet; thus American versions are missing some of the robot mode details, as well as the 'Jeep Robo' decals on the sides

Constructor Series[edit | edit source]
  • Jeep Robo (1983)
    • Accessories: Machine gun, roll-bar
Jeep Robo was recoloured for the Machine Robo Best 5 Constructor Series giftset, now featuring a new yellow colour and updated sticker sheet; uniquely among the Best 5 figures he featured an additional roll-bar accessory, intended to help Jeep Robo now pass as a racing jeep. Which somehow makes him being in a construction-themed set even weirder. Also included in the set were updated versions of Dump Robo, Bulldozer Robo, Trailer Robo and Crane Robo. This version of the figure was exclusive to the Japanese market.
