1985 Pepsi and Imperial Transforming Robot Toys
Just how popular were transforming robot toys thirty years ago? Very popular, as these two Imperial Toys robots demonstrate. A Pepsi promotion back in 1985, the transforming robot toys were free when you bought Pepsi bottles. Awesome deal, and seeing these now has me looking forward to tracking down my very own Pepsi toy robots.
The auctions are over, but here are the links in case you want to see what they sold for:

I’m pretty sure these are both GoBots with different decos, but my knowledge of the line isn’t immediate enough to tell you which ones.
I definitely had the plane in his GoBot form though.
@Nicholas Ahlhelm – Yeah, I think these also served as GoBots. I will find them!
These both look great! Better than a lot of G1 Transformers did.
