• Camera (1984)

Released by Playtime, the GoBots Camera that used 110 film cartridges - while Kodak get a shout-out on the box it does begrudgingly admit that other manufacturers' film will also work. It's a standard camera "Just Like Mommy's and Daddy's", made out of apparently unbreakable plastic, with a gap at the top for a flash cube (not included). The GoBots relevance came down to a graphic of the logo on the front and that ubiquitous sticker of Cy-Kill sneaking up to give Leader-1 a wedgie that featured on numerous licenced items of the period. While initial releases were boxed, a later version does seem to have come in clamshell packaging. Exactly the same camera appears to have been issued by Hannimex as a Machine Men item.
