Transport 16 / Space Cadet - Zybots

Zybots IV

Transport 16 was created by REMCO for the Zybots toy line and released under the title, 'Zybots IV'.

Zybots IV added three larger models to the line similar in size to Tonka's Super Gobots.

Transport 16 is unfortunately only a passable Space Shuttle and an okay robot. It doesn't excel in either mode and is overall flimsy.

What's interesting about the model is that it was renamed, 'Space Cadet' when re-released on blue cardback; see below. The 11 to 16 range model numbering error seems to have been corrected as, unlike the red and yellow Transport 16 cardback, Space Cadet's card doesn't show a number. The rear of the card features the three Zybots IV models now called, 'New Super Changeable Zybots' and none are shown with numbers. The NEW Changeable Robots above them do show numbers staring from 11.

A REMCO retailer catalogue showed Space Cadet, Poseidon (black), Sky Attacker (army camo) and Zybots II REV-2 reissued as New Super Changeable Zybots on blue cardbacks; see Zybots Release order and Stamping section for more details.

See main Zybots and Bibots index page for more general details.
