Combinators

• Helicopter and Transporter (Combinators, 1985)
  • Accessories: helicopter blade, machine gun

Helicopter and Transporter was released by Bandai in Robo Machine, and converts from robot to Bell AH-1 SuperCobra helicopter and armoured personnel carrier modules. The toy was a repackaging of Heli Transer from Machine Robo, with no significant changes but a revised sticker sheet. The helicopter can clip onto the APC. The figure has a very thin head but good arm articulation. Both the rotor and machine gun can remain in place for conversion but are removable, either to avoid them snapping or so they can easily get lost.

• The toy was not released in North America.

Notes

• Helicopter and Transport had no faction or even a conventional name, but was shown as a Friendly Robo (i.e. Guardian) in the strip running through the 1986 Robo Machine catalogue.
