40 years?  There were transforming robot toys 40 years ago?  

There sure were!  ^_^

The first couple of years of Diaclone were sci-fi based designs, but the later "Car Robots" sub-line (based on realistic, present-day vehicles) were released in the US as Transformers.

Wasn't everything back then more like Astro Boy or what not back then?

Arguably the first transforming robot toy was Popy's DX Raideen chogokin released in 1975, so transforming robots have been a thing for at least 44 years.

Nice MP-44 @sh9000!

Mine showed up from AJ with that feared paper thin box. Not a good look when it had to be “repacked”

But it seems like the box inside escaped damage again.

LOL! I'm definitely a beliver of the shrinkwrap to a board method though. After seeing so many packages shipped that way come with the contents safe inside, seems to be working well. HLJ also does this but their boxes are usually also more sturdy.

Same as MP-10.

A bit taller than MP-10 to be exact (thinner and more anime accurate).
