1994 Playmates Robotech/ExoSquad Advertisement
Back in the nineties, Playmates added the Robotech toys to their ExoSquad line, creating a bizarre hybrid line of toys branded both Robotech and ExoSquad (find at Amazon.com*). An odd choice in my opinion, and one that didn’t save the ExoSquad line from extinction. The series — both animated and toyline — never got the respect it deserved at the time, but at least we can enjoy artifacts like this gorgeous ad from an issue of Mecha Press magazine.

As an odd pairing as this way, sure a hell of a way to grab some old school pieces if your collection was missing out.
Also I believe this had the best Exo Squad release, of the main flight frame that could turn into a motorcycle, ala Robotech vol 3.
@Court – I think I have one or two of these somewhere around the house, but I’ve never seen most of them up close.
