WalkingRobo

WalkingRobo was a short-lived series of remote control robots produced by Bandai in 1985. It seems to have only have ran to two figures.

It featured battery-powered radio-controlled robots which didn't convert. Instead the USP of the line was that due to a hyroscope-type mechanism (and, it must be said, huge round feet). Bandai used the catch-all nature of Robo Machine to put the pair out in Europe the same year. Then in 1986 the figures made it to North America as the Power Marchers.

Notes

• It is unknown what relation WalkingRobo had to the unreleased GyroBots, which would have had a similar gimmick.
• The back of the WalkingRobo boxes gave helpful suggestions for things the robot could be used for. Raising an army seems to be one of them.
