Name Unconfirmed - Robot Changers
Originally designed by MARK in Japan this figure was sold as part of their Gokin Robo toy line as 'Colt Robo'.
MARK also released the model to the West in the United States, Canada and Australia (and likely other regions) via SELECT for Convertors and directly to Europe as part of their Robot Changers distribution.
At this time it's not been confirmed what the Robot Changers character names is. As Zoom and Focus mirrored their Convertors names it's likely the figure was called Colt.
Colt's chest sticker can either read 'Colt Robo' or 'Gun Robo'. Additionally the cardback will be printed with, 'Colt' or, 'Gun'. As with Convertors Spies Walkman that was renamed to Selectman, the name was changed presumably for copyright reasons. Finding Colt figures on Gun cards suggests there was a changeover period seeing already stickered figure stock exhausted before newly stickered figures were issued.
It's not known whether this was a response to legal action or a cautionary measure.

Extra Stickers In addition to the firing feature, the Japanese release included a sheet of extra stickers.
