Daijin, aka, Betatron, was made by Yonezawa. He was released by Grandstand for Convertors in the UK, and Convert-A-Bots in the US. Same as Deltatron and Sigmatron. There is a blue one that I would desperately love to have. Yours looks like a general KO. There is some weird connection with Tia Fong though. The stickers are nearly identical to the Tia Fong Missile Truck Robot. It's weird. He's a really fun toy though. Especially if the motor works.

@@MantisNineNines I have replied to this twice now, and my comment keeps getting deleted. Please use all you want. There is the Trans-3-Robot/Daijim page at the Liberator, and the Betatron page at Soundwave's Oblivion. I highly suggest you read both of those.

Wow, I remember getting one of these for a birthday, I think it came from one of the local drug stores and in my head cannon this robot was the big brother of Trailblazer. I think I powered it with batteries only a handful of times. I am pretty sure mine lost an arm trying to navigate the stairs at my Grandmother's house. It lived in the toy box at her house for all the kids to play with. So, there is no telling what happened to it.

@@JakalairVG Absolute Trailbreaker vibe! Not surprised it lost an arm, the rest is so sturdy and chunky but the arm hinges are thin and weak.
