'A motorized robot disguised as a vehicle.'
This is not a final page. Due to the quantity of work required, this is a placeholder to at least provide some reference.
DynaBot distributed by Grand Toys was the Canadian parallel distribution of MC Toy's line by the same name for the United States.
Alt/vehicle mode vs. robot mode cards? MC Toy also did this for their Motorized Robot distribution (see other page this section) and the reason is unclear. There are however some established motivations for different toy packaging. The more prominent is where the toy will be retailed and in what section of the store. Toys sold in service stations/gas stations are traditionally vehicle focused. In a department store toy section, vehicle toys will be racked in one location while action figures are in another. Offering both formats would allow retailers some flexible racking and stocking options and could appeal to stores such as gas stations that may be less likely to stock a robot toy.
All include both die cast metal and plastic components as well as the synonymous pull-back motors
