'Motorized 2 in 1 Toy'
Issued in black and white for Robotron Release 2 the Harrier Jump Jet figure was not given a name as part of its distribution.
Research into its development and promotion to retailers has so far failed to identify a specific character name.
The model was also re-issued for Release 3 with blue replacing the black sections. In some instances re-issued black wheel rimmed versions were assembled with new blue rims; likely due to black rim stock running low. Various other Release 2 models also seen in Release 3 shared the same mismatched rim configuration
The same kit was sold by US company Monogram as their Gobots Royal-T plastic model kit; also released in 1984. It too includes the pull back motor gimmick. It's currently unknown what occurred that allowed this to take place however it would not be a unique occurrence if in this instance two Western toy distributors were sold the same toy. The only difference being that in most other cases the mistake was detected before one company put the toy(s) into production.
See the Robotron main index for further details.
