    • Accessories: gun
Side Lancer was released by Bandai in the Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos toyline as one of the Battle Tribe Double Machine Robo, and transforms from robot to motorcycle and sidecar modules. As well as combining into a single vehicle, the two halves can split off - with the sidecar converting into a stumpy armless walker-robot. The figure was either made especially for the line or was a latecomer from the original Machine Robo franchise. Side Lancer has excellent leg articulation but unfortunately due to the lack of elbows and his shoulders only being able to move at a perpendicular angle cannot raise his gun.
Side Lancer was not released outside of Japan.
