Hello
I have had this in my stuff since the mid 1980's and I forget if it a GB or TF?
I was also wondering if anyone could give me the name of it?
Thanks

I just noticed on its foot it says "Remco 1984".
I'm guessing Gobot now but still not sure, or about its name?

Nope, TF's are by Takara/Hasbro, Gobots were by Bandai and licensed to Tonka. So that excludes both possibilities, and I have no idea what it is... Imagine that.

I also found this online, and its almost the same build.

The colors should have tipped me off that it was a knockoff...

Remco made knock offs?
I know they were kinda big into comics.

Looks as if Remco made a few variations of it also.

Turns out his name is Bulldozer lol...and he is a Remco ZyBot

I been doing a bit of research on these "Zybots" and found this. Turns out Remco made some pretty popular toys.

Including the Crystar stuff - I didn't realise that was Remco. But then when you're a kid, you don't really pay attention to the names behind the scenes, do you?
