Machine Robo DX[edit | edit source]

  • Fairlady 280 Z (1983)
  • ID number: MR-DX02
  • Accessories: none
The second figure in the Machine Robo DX range, Fairlady 280 Z converts from Datsun 280ZT Fairlady Z to robot. The car mode features rubber tyres and clear windows, with a chrome figurine of a driver at the wheel, and sticker sheet featuring an optional bird design for the hood. The engineering and conversion of the figure is nearly identical to that of Porsche 928 S. The toy is more durable than some of the Machine Robo DX figures, though the rear boot can pop off easily and the chrome claws can break. Two different colour schemes were released: - one almost all a bright scarlet red; the other featuring a darker red on the main car body and black roof section.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The individual Machine Robo DX figures lacked the "Robo" suffix of other Machine Robo figures and did not feature in any of the line's fiction. This combined with their more adult-orientated packaging suggests they were intended simply as Machine Robo puzzle toys or models as opposed to part of the early Romulos/Devil Invader mythos.
