F-111 Man
Bandai introduced the transforming Machine Robo line to the Australian market in 1983, branded as Machine Men. Even when the line found success in overseas markets branded as Gobots, the Machine Men branding stayed in place in Australia, appearing in the cartoon and film.
Although I never owned F-15 Man/MR-25/Leader-1 as a child, I was always enamoured with fighter jets, and particularly the variable wing F-111C "Pig" that Australia flew at the time. As such, I thought that I would try to imagine what a Machine Men/Machine Robo/Gobot F-111 might like look crossed with the Leader-1 design style, with improved articulation and more in scale with the Leader Class of Hasbro's current Transformers line.
Mighty Machine Men, Mighty Robots!
Mighty Machine Men, Mighty Vehicles!
