#539 Strategic Innovation – Ability Drag Robot (Around 1987)

MONTH OF THE BOOTLEG AT TOYS FROM THE PAST!

The cease of the 80s were the golden years of Transformers inward Europe in addition to North America. As a result, enough of plastic knock-off in addition to bootleg robots were available inward inexpensive toy stores at that time. Then, most of these toys were nonetheless beingness manufactured inward Hong-Kong, only the outset Made inward PRC toys were already appearing.

In this case, this robot is non a knock-off in addition to perchance non fifty-fifty a bootleg, since it is an ain designed model. The robot comprises 2 vehicles/parts that tin live combined every bit a "Gestalt". Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 futuristic reddish motorcycle turns to legs in addition to head, in addition to a bluish dragster auto turns to breast in addition to arms. They must live combined to shape a unique robot, which, inward my opinion, looks great, only each business office separately is no consummate robot.

I bought the bluish auto a long fourth dimension agone every bit a business office of a Transformers lot, only the motorcycle was much to a greater extent than hard to find. At first, I idea that the auto was incomplete, or that I didn´t know how to transform it correctly, only searching the meshwork for "Drag-4" I finally works life pictures of the toy, then I knew I had to hold back for roughly other part: the motorcycle or "Drag-3". Now it´s consummate at habitation in addition to beingness displayed inward a drinking glass cabinet.
DRAG-3

DRAG-4

Unfortunately, at that topographic point is zilch I tin nation nearly the toymaker. I cause got seen other transformable robots inward like boxes, only at that topographic point seems to live no data at all nearly the manufacturer inward the box. Note how poorly written it is, they fifty-fifty misspelled the parent of the robot (Darg instead of Drag). I don't fifty-fifty know if at that topographic point are Drag-1 in addition to Drag-2!
