Royal-T - Gobots

Harrier Robo MR-19

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

* during the initial Robo Machine migration to Gobots character names a small selection of figures do not show the Gobots names on the front of the blister only. They appear only on the rear as part of the character assortment picture listing along with the original Robo Machine name. Royal-T was one of these figures with the rear of the multilingual blister cards showing 'Harrier / Royal-T'.

Further details are below, on the Series 1 Index and for more in-depth reading see the Toy Line History page.

** Released as both 'Harrier' and 'Royal-T' for the Robo Machine line as Gobots names were phased in over time.

*** Harrier was released for Robo Machines Series 1 but was soon replaced by Ace / P-51. This sees Harrier the hardest of the Robo Machines line to find on card.
