I got him from my allowance in the early 90s and he came with some kind of binocular that you could click on his back.

Haven't been able to spot him in the galleries.

Found him back today and he's still in great shape considering the amount he was played with, I just want to find his name and accessory so he's complete again for display

Thanks in advance :)

I think that's a Go-Bot.

No, he's a Transformer (shame on you!). To be exact he's a G1 Lightformer called Deftwing. His gimmick was the magnifying scope, and was exclusive to Europe.

And before I forget:

:HEADHURTS:

Except the scope doesn't magnify. :P
When you look through the eyepieces lenses and turn the dial, you see an 'animated' image of twin laser beams converging on their target.

To be honest, I rarely stray into this forum; it's only recently I've looked in here at all for some reason...
