Hey, I finally found one that’s been on the list for awhile AND it’s next in rotation!
For those of you who missed out on them in the 1980s, let me introduce you Ideal’s Robo Force toyline
On the planet Zeton, Maxx Steele leads a group of robots to protect humanity from Hun-Dredd and his bad robots. Robo Force also had a pilot video that I’m tossing on the list I was sure showed up long ago on Saturday Night Showcase but apparently didn’t. Or at least it’s not coming up. Guess I know what I’m doing for this week’s entry.
However, this is Free Comic Inside so you know the toyline also had pack-in minicomics. Only four were produced that I could find thanks to The Old Robots, along with other Robo Force promotional material. It really didn’t help as the toyline didn’t last very well. I guess cylinders with suction cups on the bottom were no match for bipedal robots that turned into other machines. At least now I get to finally add these to the Free Comic Inside rotation!
No credits for these. That’s too bad because I like to see who worked on these things and if they did anything else in the comic book industry. Ah well…on to the story!
