Regular Gobots

These small figures made up the bulk of the line, and were also the backbone of Japan's Machine Robo series. Each figure was sold carded. Those with MR-## or MRD-### designations stamped on them were taken directly from the Machine Robo series, while those with MRT-## designations, were designed by Bandai exclusively for the Gobots line. Those without any number were unreleased Japanese prototypes issued only in the West. One notable variatation between the releases of Tonka (America) and Bandai (Japan/Europe/Asutralia) is that the former's small figures only came with factory stickers, usually omitting a number of decals compared to the latter's (there were also occasional changes, usually the conversion of Japanese text to English). Some of these figures were reissued in triple-packs - there were at least two of these for each faction. If anyone has details, please let me know!

Super Gobots

These larger robots had three sources - Machine Robo's Scale Robo DX (the 1984 releases, plus Defendor) and Big Machine Robo series (the remainder of the 1985 figures), and some specially-designed toys (the 1986 series - though Vamp may have been an aborted MR release). The numbers given to the figures by Tonka, while in sequence, seem a little arbitrary (I think the '02' section is to show the Supers as a second series, with regular Gobots as a first series, but it's hardly clear). The figures are listed in numerical order, which means the second series come at the top, then the first series, and then the third.
