Figure Stamping: the first twelve Machine Robo Series models, most also released in the West are stamped S.Pore before manufacturing moved to Japan and Macau; reissued models were updated.
Barring the above, standard line stamping included:
Machine Robo Series / Gobots / Robot Machine Men: Japan
Robo Machine / Machine Men: Macau
Robo Machines: China
Exceptions: Bent Wing (yellow band) for the Gobots line was stamped Macau.
The Robo Machine releases of Dart, Gunnyr and Bent Wing are stamped S'Pore.
Gobots Gift Packs #1 and #2 were confusingly issued with multiple differing figure selections.
Machine Men, Robo Machine and Robo Machines cardbacks shouldn't be taken at face value with regards to colour schemes offered. Often incorrect or prototype images were used for card art.
