Here are some miscellaneous robots that don’t fit into any well-defined toy lines such as Transformers, Gobots, or Robotech.<\/p>\n

First up is some rubber robots. I have no recollection of how I obtained them:<\/p>\n

I call these the cereal robots because I believe they came in boxes of cereal. If memory serves. the cereal in question was Cap’n Crunch, a cereal with its finger of the pulse of the nation’s youth; years later, they would have a Cap’n Crunch-themed CD-ROM game pack-in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a little fuzzy but I recall that this amphibian creature came as a kit that you had to assemble. It could really float due to styrofoam in those side tubes. Wind it up and the flippers propel it through the water.<\/p>\n

Here’s a grab bag of random robots. The one in the lower right corner is the robot from the airport<\/a> (I didn’t remember the match until after the photo shoot):<\/p>\n

The red robot was a generic, no-name transforming robot. I think the white one may have been some kind of actual Transformer.<\/p>\n
