マシンロボ

Machine Robo (マシンロボ) is a long running Japanese transforming robot toyline first released in 1982 by Popy, a division of Bandai, then later by Bandai Namco proper. It has spawned several anime series that have been produced in Japan until recent years.

During the early 80s a large portion of the first line of toys from this franchise were exported to North America as part of Tonka's GoBots and Rock Lords series, beginning in 1983. The franchise was marketed as Robo Machine in Europe, and Machine Men (or Robot Machine Men) in Australia.
