Machine Robo Battle Robo (Go-Bots Tank) In-Hand Gallery

Posted on May 25, 2016 at 8:15 pm by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Robot and Mecha Toy News

Next up in our look at the modern relaunch of the Japanese Go-Bots (aka Machine Robo) is Battle Robo, aka Tank from the Go-Bots line. Battle Robo keeps his short and stocky nature, his pyramid like head piece and fold over transformation, all while upgrading to today’s articulation and sculpting standards. He features a mix of plastic and die cast, paint where it counts, and removable weapons. While not as iconic as Leader-1 or Cy-Kill, Tank is someone many kids from the 80s remember. Let’s take a closer look after the break courtesy of Big Bad Toy Store!

Overall

Tank is a solid little figure. I have to admit, I am mostly hyped about Eagle Robo and Bike Robo (Leader-1 and Cy-Kill from Go-Bots) from this line, but running through the additional figures makes me research and reminisce. Apparently I had a lot more Go-Bots than I remembered after taking a spin at Google. Tanks keeps his overall stance and transformation style here, a flip over along with some additional twists. Upgraded, more complex, but stays true to the original. The head has some movement now though, turning inside the pyramid shape. Canon is removable and can be used as an arm mounted piece or gun, and his shoulder guns move as well. Overall, well constructed, faithful, and a great compliment to the others.

    Are the splits in the shoulder panels just for show? Can they be closed? Those bother me a little for some reason.

    Yes, part of design. Can be closed. They tend to open/close easily upon handling.

    I need to see how these guys look standing next to 2007 Walmart-exclusive Fracture/Crasher.

    The need is already mighty, but that might push me over the edge.

    All three look good together. They're really fantastic updates. The modular base looks insane.

    It was always comical to me how central Screwhead apparently was in MR while basically insignificant in Gobots. As far as I remember anyway.

    Oh wow, all this time I thought these toys were going to be in the Masterpiece Scale and I figured Leader-1 would be about the same height as the MP Seekers and that was keeping me away from wanting to collect this line. Now that I know that they are more in scale with the other non-MP scales I think I will pick some of them up.
    I'm probably the only person who wishes Leader-1 had that grinning cartoon head though I had a soft spot for the Go-Bots cartoon because I remember their transformations and designs were pretty close to the toys I had, unlike the Transformers.
    Also, this article lead me to research Go-Bots and Machine Robo, which lead me to rediscover a toy called Battle Armor 5 that my Mom got for me off Home Shopping Channel years ago. I seriously never thought I would find out what this toy was or where it came from and I am so glad to finally know what it was.

    I was going to pass on these, but seeing how well these figures scale with Deluxe Transformers definitely sold me. I'm also really jazzed about those bases. Hopefully Hasbro (or at least Takara) releases the long-rumored display stands sometime soon. I mean, they've been putting the associated holes in figures for a while now...

    Something about Bike Robo's design being accurate to, well, Bike Robo (instead of the more menacing Cy-Kill touches) actually makes him seem like a more evil character, when factoring in Cy-Kill's role in GoBots. Like, the rounded look, the smaller stature, the impassive face... it really reminds me of how evil Frieza was when I first watched Dragonball Z back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

    I can dig it.

    Awesome photos and gallery! I am loving this MR line. Hopefully, the line will keep on going! I am looking forward to wave 2.
