Rest-Q - Gobots

Ambulance Robo MR-15 / MRB-7

Originally designed in Japan by Bandai and released for their Machine Robo Series line as Ambulance Robo the model was not long after issued as Ambulance for the European Robo Machine release and Ambulance Man as part of Australia's Machine Men. Tonka's US rebranded 'Gobots' distribution saw Rest-Q given his now most established name with the Machine Men line adopting the Gobots character names on figure re-release; predominantly to benefit from the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon.

* Machine Robo Series extra sticker sheet issued with this release.

** Initial Gobots cardback (see example) showed photographs of the Machine Robo Series version with the Japanese text crudely covered over.
The standing photo of Rest-Q on the cardback rear still shows the Japanese text and the painted character image is also of the Machine Robo Series version.

*** The cardback character image reuses the Machine Robo Series box art for the alt mode with the Japanese text replaced with English and the asterisk removed. The Robo Machine and Machine Men release was issued with English text and the more European familiar red cross symbol on the side stickers.
