Machine Robo Series[edit | edit source]

  • Ambulance Robo (1983)
    • ID number: MR-15
    • Accessories: none
Ambulance Robo was the 15th figure in Bandai's Machine Robo Series and transforms from robot to Nissan Caravan ambulance. Ambulance Robo has shoulder and knee articulation, though the latter is of limited use as the figure overbalances easily if the legs aren't locked solid. Sadly due to being almost entirely white, vintage examples of the toy often yellow easily. Like the rest of the range, the figure retailed at ¥600.
  • The figure was later issued as the GoBots figure Rest-Q, with the additional sticker sheet omitted. This means the American release does not have the red cross on the roof/legs, the red markings on the shoulders or the rear window markings. The Japanese text on the side stickers was also changed to English.

Machine Robo Series Gashapon[edit | edit source]

  • Ambulance Robo (Machine Robo Series, 1985)
    • ID number: 3
A plastic model kit version of Ambulance Robo was issued by Bandai in 1985 as part of their Machine Robo Series line of Gashapon. Ambulance Robo was part of the first series and retained his ability to transform. The model very closely followed the transformation of the Machine Robo Series version; while it included some stickers for detail the kit itself was cast in a single colour of red or yellow plastic and would require extensive painting to look anything like the picture included on the leaflet.
  • The Gashapon figures were never issued outside of Japan.

Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos Choco-Corn[edit | edit source]

  • Ambulance Robo (Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos, 1986)
    • ID number: 8
A small plastic model kit version of Ambulance Robo was issued by Bandai in 1986 as part of their Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos line of models, distributed with Morinaga & Company's Choco-Corn candy. Ambulance Robo retained his ability to transform, and against all sense appears to be a different model to the Gashapon version. The model very closely followed the transformation of the toy version, though the kit itself was cast in a single colour of grey plastic and would require extensive painting to look anything like the picture included on the leaflet. Like the rest of the range, the model retailed at ¥100.
  • The Choco-Corn figures were never issued outside of Japan.
