Geigerrock - Ganseki Chōjin - 'The best killer of them all'
Gobots Packaging 'Tombstone lives to fight. This evil warrior cares about only one thing: destroying good rocks! The last thing Tombstone wants to hear about is peace. A good battle will make his day, as he rushes heedlessly at the enemy, swinging The Reaper wildly and laughing at his foes as they retreat from the twirling scythe*.'
* Although the Gobots cardback text mentions and the comic strip above it shows Tombstone using a scythe like weapon, he was issued with the same two pronged weapon as the Machine Robo version.
Japanese Packaging Practical Translation 'Reveling in evil, he is excellent at thinking up sneaky strategies. In fact, he is secretly aiming for the position of leader. He is versatile with his hands and an excellent at making mechanical things. He emits radioactivity, is a spy and can spin drill himself through the ground.'
Robo Machine Packaging (shared by all Series 1 and 2 figures and Saberstone and Spearhead) 'Rock Life has evolved upon the planet 'Quartex' in the form of rock "beings", each with their own unique abilities. Conflict exists between the forces of good and evil ROCK LORDS. But just like GOBOTS, good does not always prevail, sometime the evil side wins!'
