- The third figure in Bandai's Machine Robo DX series, Porsche 928 S converts from a Porsche 928S sportscar to robot. The car mode features rubber tyres and clear windows, with a chrome figurine of a driver at the wheel, and a sticker sheet with some optional decals that can turn it into a racing car with the number 32 or 64. The engineering and conversion of the figure is nearly identical to that of Fairlady 280 Z. 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 a dark blue; the other a light metallic blue.
- A recoloured version was issued as the Super GoBots figure Herr Fiend as part of GoBots.

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.
