Scratch

Scratch is one of the later Gobots releases, and he’s interesting because he was never released in Japan or europe. (Although he does have a Machine Robo Number of (MR-T-41, Gobots number 38)

He’s listed as a “Friendly Robot 4X4 Truck” on the card. His truck form looks like a 1984 Chevy Blazer.

He’s an unremarkable toy, on all levels. He’s just sort of boring. The plastic is plain grey with few details. Metal is limited to the upper legs and body.

To transform, separate the rear of the truck and unfold, then rotate along the hip axis, then swing down. Separate the arms down to the side and flip up the head.

The years have taken its toll on scratch. I don’t know if these arms were ever tight, but they are loose as hell now, unable to hold a pose.

Scratch is a mess.
