Machine Robo

Machine Robo Series

• Countach Robo (1983)
  • ID number: MR-21
  • Accessories: none

Countach Robo was the 21st figure in Bandai's Machine Robo Series and transforms from robot to Lamborghini Countach LPS500 sportscar in 4 steps. Weak points on the figure are the sliding arms, which can become loose, and the chrome on the rear wing, which is so thin as to be two-dimensional. Countach Robo has no hands. Like the rest of the range, the figure retailed at ¥600.

• The figure was later issued as the GoBots/Robo Machine figure Spoiler, with no significant changes beyond omitting the extra sticker sheet. This means the American version does not have many of the vehicle mode markings, such as those on the spoilers, door and hood.

Notes

• Considering he was repackaged to tie in with the cartoon, Countach Robo really gets ignored by Ashi Productions.
