Hans-Cuff - Gobots

Police Robo MR-13 / MRB-2

Originally designed in Japan by Bandai and released for their Machine Robo Series line as Police Robo the model was not long after issued as Police Car for the European Robo Machine release and Police Man as part of Australia's Machine Men. Tonka's US rebranded 'Gobots' distribution saw Hans-Cuff given his now most established name. The Australian Machine Men line adopted the Gobots character name on figure re-release; predominantly to benefit from the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon.

Bandai did not re-release this model for their European Robo Machine distribution and so he was always sold only as Police Car.

Further details are below, on the Series 1 Index and for more in-depth reading see the Toy Line History page.
