So Kenner wasn't the space toy star of 1978?

This was a toy I loved a lot. There was so many ways to reconfigure this. It always reminded me of the Fantasticar too. The wings on the side would come off and they were like guns. They had a really big orange rubber tipped missile. When you got shot by one of these you knew it. There would be lawsuits today.
I never knew what a success it was for Mego. It deserved to sale out. It was a super toy. This and the Hornetroid were some of my favorite vehicles for the Micronauts.

Oh it ended up crushing everything but they didn't get real physical product on the shelves until March of 78? By that time Mego had sold millions of Micronauts.

People always call it a rip off but it's more right place/right time.

I loved this toy when I was a kid. You could take it apart and rebuild it in various combination, lots of play value.
