A transforming robot is a
robot that can change to take on the appearance or form of another object. This type of robot was a very popular
toy concept in the 1980s; such toy robots could typically morph from a
humanoid form to that of a vehicle, animal, or commonplace object.
Toylines that used this concept include:
Transformers (
Hasbro and
Takara Tomy), a very popular franchise with two robot factions that fought against each other. The robots could transform into a wide range of things, from insects to airplanes
Convertors (Select) featured the conflict between heroic and evil factions, in this case the heroic Defenders (and their Avarian allies) and the evil Maladroids (and their Insectors allies).
