Identified: Convertors "X"

About ten seconds after posting, @JasonHoHoHo identified this as a Converters toy named simply "X". Well, there you go! See more here.



@LamarRevenger on Twitter has sent in a transforming robot toy which I didn't immediately recognize. He says it has no markings. Any ideas what this is?

Description: Red plastic vehicle, transforms into robot. Some vac-metal silver parts.
Color: Silver, red.
Material: Plastic. The feet are die-cast metal.
Markings: none molded, but it has a balck "X" on a sticker on his chest.
Size: Roughly 3-inches long, 2 1/2-inches wide.

Do you know what this is? Please let us know in the comments or Tweet me!

Identified: Diablock or Robolinks Figure

I found this at a thrift store about a week ago and since RoboTech wasn't part of my childhood vocabulary, I picked it up for a quarter. I didn't know what it was, but @JohnDoctorKent did!

Description: Robot figure, non-transforming.
Color: Silver/metal, red, blue.
Material: Plastic with die-cast metal body
Markings: TAKARA 1984

This is a Diablock (or RoboTech Robolinks) figure, a nifty line you can find out more about here. It combines construction and Japanese robots, which, really, is about as perfect as a toy line gets. He's about 2 1/4-inches high.

Numerous sets were available, and well, obviously, now I know what it is. See folks, it's all about learning something. Now, how about identifying some of the other crap on here?
