--> Argos catalogue featuring Thruster. More useful than most catalogues as I'd have a hunch that Argos would have the thing in stock to advertise. Only question is if it was a genuine Robo Machine release or GoBots stock imported (which happened a lot). Carry-All (talk) 19:08, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Australian Release??[edit source]
I suppose "I saw one on a shelf at K-Mart 36 years ago but have no photos or other ways to verify this" is not valid evidence of an Australian release. Deadborder (talk) 10:30, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Dunno, certainly worth a mention! Was it in Machine Men packaging or 'grey import' GoBots?

- From my memory, it was in Gobots packaging. I don't recall if it had Machine Men logos slapped on the box, only that the box style was distinct from the other Australian packaging Deadborder (talk) 23:54, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Excellent, that's good enough to at least get a mention in the notes by my reckoning; I think if we set the bar too high for this sort of thing we're never going to get anywhere due to a general lack of kids in the mid-1980s taking photographs of European and Australian toy aisles.
