Title:
Psycho Future Machine (Vehicle Mode) 2nd
Description:
Psycho (Super GoBot, 1983/1984)Enemy Robot Show CarID number: 030Accessories: none.
Psycho was released by Tonka in the first series of GoBots, and converts from robot to futuristic concept sports car in 9 steps. The toy was a repackaging of Psychoroid from Machine Robo, with the ”Psychoroid” stickers modified to ”Future Machine”, and with the spring-loaded missile launcher disabled and filled in. Like most of the figures derived from Bandai’s ScaleRobo DX line, Psycho’s ”head” is formed from the central portion of his vehicle mode. Unlike most of the other ScaleRobo figures, Psycho’s alternate mode is of fanciful origins, being based on the ”Psychoroid” vehicle from the 1980s anime series Space Cobra. Tiny figurines of Cobra and his partner, Lady Armaroid, are actually visible inside Psycho’s cockpit. Also unlike the other Scale Robo figures while Psycho does feature diecast parts the entire car ”shell” is made of ABS plastic. Loose samples of Psycho often have damage to the chrome and red trim around the cockpit, and the two red fins on the rear part of the car are quite fragile. He has movement in two directions at the shoulders, a little at the hips and at the knees, making him less of a statue than the other first series Super GoBots.
