Tenticus - Convertors

Killer Spider - Robot Changers

This model was originally designed by MARK in Japan adding to their Zectron / Mecha Insect Zectron assortment that is otherwise mostly comprised of licensed Takatoku models from their Beetras line. For the Zectron line this figure was named, 'Spider Robo'.

Bird Robo VS Zectron (Convertors Avarians VS Insectors) was the subtitle for the otherwise separate MARK lines linking the two and indicating them to be rivals.

MARK also released this model to the West via Select seeing it renamed 'Tenticus' for Convertors in the United States, Canada and Australia (and likely other regions). In parallel MARK distributed it directly to Europe under the Robot Changers banner as, 'Killer Spider'.

All of the Zectron figures bar Scorpion Robo were later re-released in Japan by the Japanese company JAM as Candy Toys; toys that come with candy. They came in kit form under the title, 'Mecha Insects' with the English text on the packaging incorrectly shown as 'Mecha Insecter'. It's supposed Scorpion Robo's more complex form may have been problematic or too expensive to replicate in a cheap, snap-together kit.

At this time a connection between MARK and JAM has not been established, nor has how JAM acquired the Zectron moulds.
