    @ Earth 2 Chris
    Thanks for the welcome

    As i told - the line was never released in my country. My mom bought it at a military base where she wokred at this time. I also know the "Beast Machines" and I had one of those, too unfortunately once a time my family sold my whole toys at flee markets around the area - I could kill them therefor! :D

      I still have my Powerlords, but some of them (especially the girl) really did creep me out. It looked more like their skin went inside out rather than them turning into some alien. Hmmm if you crossed the Hellraiser series with a toyline the powerlords might have been it (and it Hellraiser was made back in 82)

        I think Wayne Barlow designed these toys. Really odd characters. I had several as a kid and had a hard time warming up to them. I think they owe more to 'hard sci-fi', something you'd find in a Larry Niven novel.

          I also agree, these toys had a tendency to break faster than other toy lines. Maybe a cheaper grade of plastic was used..?

              I remember seeing the ads in the comics for ages, but I never had the figures.
