    What fits on these robots' arms?

    Here are a couple robots I acquired. Anyone know the names, manufacturer, year, anything? Looks like the arms are spring loaded so I'm not sure if they had fists or rockets or what.
    And I don't know what this drill car is either. Any info is appreciated.

    I have no idea who the robots are but if you ever want to sell them let me know.

    The drill car looks very familiar. Wasn't that something Hot wheels did for a movie tie-in? For some reason I was thinking Megaforce, but could be wrong

      I have a red robot almost like the ones you have. Mine has black fists that are supposed to pop off when you push the levers but, being old they don't pop off anymore. I also have a drill car but, mine is red. I got them off a ebay and the seller listed the car manufacturer as YOT and said it was from the Firebirds show. Here's the link to auction that I won. I hope this helps.

        Mike69 is correct. Here is an auction for both the red and blue drill mint in package.

                  Can someone post a photo of the fist which goes to these robots? I may be able to find something similar and modify.

                    What is the name of the little white robot? What toy line?
                    I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

                      If you check my link in my reply post, the robot that I have is in the bottom row. You can click on the picture and it will enlarge it for you to see the fists.

                        I have no idea the name or the toy line that robot is from. There's no markings on him no where.

                          I'd like to see the plunger end which goes inside the arm so I can see how long it is.

                            Little late, but yes those ( and the blue drill machine from the first post) are from ZEE Toys USA and callled FIREBIRDS. They are just an attempt to re-use the molds manufactured for the line of toys made by YOT to cash in on the TV show THUNDERBIRDS.

                            The original packets from YOT had Thunder Birds (2 words) on the packet, were slightly different , and included a TB2 in the line-up.

                            This Thunder Birds line of toys from YOT were themselves a knockoff of the licensed Thunderbird toys made by the Japanese toy company EDAI Grip.

                            I've got an image or 2, and some more info., I'll pop on here later if anyone is interested.

                              Actually, that robot is Qonto from Japan's 'Message From Space' tv show. He was sold in the USA as 'Mini Qonto'- in white, blue/yellow, and red, on a card, by Bandai.

                              I totally forgot that I actually had this figure when I was about 6. I had the blue/yellow version. I knew he looked familiar!
