I really liked Diaclone Dinosaur Robo as a kid.
>>11877154the little dude inside of it makes all the difference
>>11877154Yall ever fuck with Z-Knights
>>11877215
obligatory
>>11877154I used to have a bronze colored one in my early childhood, 1990 or so. I wish I could remember what it was.
>>11877154>NO TRANSFORMERS OR GUNDAM PLEASE!>NO GUNDAM PLEASE!okay, but what if it’s not a gundam but better, it’s BISSON
>>11877603Totally not gundam
>>11877387Zbots are amazing. I liked how some of them combined into a bigger robot.
Starriors were cool. I wish Tomy/Takara would bring them back.
>>11877935>>11877938imo zoids were waaaay cooler, but the US’s techno zoids like may take the cake on color usage
>>11877935>>11877938I would be on board with Starriors with modern engineering and better articulation. Also, upgrade kits would be cool.
For some reason, looking at OP's image reminded me that this guy exists.
>>11878245Also this dude was pretty popular. Sort of robot toy you'd get from a weekend market stall.
I wish I still had this one
>>118771542XL was my nigga, but I was also fascinated by 'MyPal'>>11877983dude zoids remain amazing to this day, there's no 'were' about it. we got a discord if you want. you could catch up on what's been goin on with the franch.
>>11877154I went to a flea market with my dad around 1990, could have been 89 or 91, and they had a big metal robot. Well, it seemed big to me at the time, but I was a kid, so it was probably only two feet. I don't really remember what it looked like, just that it was big and silver or white, maybe an Omnibot. I guess I'll never know, but i fantasized about it for years afterwards. It was way too expensive for us, $100 or something like that, so of course we didn't get it.
>>11882309might as well post 2XL okay more of an advanced tape player than a robot, but his sassy styles really did it for me.
>>11884100oh man, I remember this little guy!
>>11884100for me, it was Tomy's Dingbot
>>11886785that's so cute but it's so morbidly obesehis microchips are macrochipsmaybe take fewer megaBITES my little dude.don't have to eat ROMen noodles every day
>>11882309Totally. He was my nigger as well!
>>11877935No fucking way, I had this! Dose anyone remember this robot line that was motorized and had swappable chest weapons?
>>11877935another cousin of Zoids..
>>11878245kakuranger / power rangers: alien ranger monster
>>11878245why the fuck did I have this toy? I think another kid got it for me...
>>11878251>>11877154these kind of walking+lights+sound bot have some influence from gundam, usually the shield but some have legs and shoulders that are unmistakably mobile suit
>>11898823this one shows it better. it's clearly a bootlegged RX-78
this one has an EZ-8 head and a zaku heat hawk lolalso for some reason they all seem to have the same soundchip that screams FIRE FIRE
>>11898823which is hilarious, since gundam was the turningpoint between silly old wind-up-lookin' robots and sleek cool ones. Well okay, Star Wars was, but then Gundam saw it, and you can pinpoint the exact moment in the pre-production art where the silly old clank-clank robot becomes gundam instead.>>11898827ehh mainly the head..>>11898837those chips were all produced in one factory and handed out to whatever company, it's so silly how that worked back then. and man, you'd think.. it'd be so easy to just design new parts, downright FUN, yet they so frequently just stole. Really nothing has changed, has it
