'Motorized 2 in 1 Toy'
Re-issued with blue in place of black for Robotron Release 3 the Robotron Space Shuttle figure was again not given a character name as part of the distribution.
The same kit was sold by US company Monogram as their Gobots Spay-C 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 both companies put the toy(s) into production.
See the Robotron main index for further details.

Mixed Parts As with a number of Robotron Release 2 figures, the black Shuttle was also sold as part of Release 3 to use up remaining parts. This resulted in black Shuttles with blue or silver faces with white or blue face surrounds and white rims; examples below. Blue rimmed version are also likely to exist.
