Leader-1 - Gobots

Eagle Robo MR-25 / MRJ-7

Originally designed in Japan by Bandai and released for their Machine Robo Series line as Eagle Robo the model was not long after issued as F-15 Eagle for the European Robo Machine release and F-15 Man as part of Australia's Machine Men. Tonka's US rebranded 'Gobots' distribution saw Leader-1 given his now most established name with the Robo Machine* and Machine Men lines adopting Gobots character names on figure re-release; predominantly to benefit from the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon.

* during the initial Robo Machine migration to Gobots character names a small selection of figures do not show the Gobots names on the front of the blister card. The new names appear only on the rear as part of the character assortment picture listing along with the original Robo Machine name. Leader-1 was one of these figures with the card rear showing, 'F-15 Eagle / Leader-1'. The name Leader-1 was used for the Super Gobots Robo Machine release.

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