Hello just just registered after lurking for afew months.
Well I was wondering if this gun transformable action figure is from The Transformer series. Basically its a small pistol and written on it while in gun mode is:
left side:
BROWNING-M1910
right side:
TAKARA JAPAN
MC-M1910
I have had this toy since I was around 5 or 6 (19 now) and I remember it had accessories like yellow bullets 2 silver guns and 3 hands (one could be shot which was really cool), and if I remember a little figure that did not move at all (not sure about this one). Also paperwork included was a little cardboard robot which I presume was for shooting at.
I am sorry for not having a pic available at this time but just posting this as soon as I registered. Any opinions would be cool

Definately sounds like Browning.
Speaking of which, I really want one of those. Maybe I'll buy it for myself for Thanksgiving.
How appropriate, a gun for Thanksgiving. I'll go shoot me a Turkey!

Awwww, the only thing is, this time it will be the foreigner giving YOU the gun, rather than the way the Pilgrims did it.

That's from the Micro-Change series (the predecessor to TF).
Pretty hard to find nowadays.

And IMHO, it looks a thousand times better than the toy they turned into Megatron.
HE should have been Megs, not the Walther P38

a very nice toy that microman pistol, if its a genuine takara version it is rather desirable. for ultracool guns though there was a third microman gun........wait for it, a 44 magnum!! the robo mode is a bit assymetrical but very coool anyway. now that would have been a cool megs, a freakin 44!! kids would have been asking 'well do you feel lucky?'

I thought browning was from the gunrobo series of toys that takara had made which ended up becoming part of transformers.

browning was a gunrobo, but they did release him as a transformer, exclusive to japan in 88. after googling the 44 magnum robo, I gotta say browning is still the best looking in robot mode of the 3.

I must now add this to the list of things Hasbro must release. But I want it in chrome, not black. And with white grips.
