I've been called worse... by you, I think! ;) In the interest of completeness, his two teammates on the Mini-Con Street Action Team were Grindor (skateboard) and Sureshot (scooter), and were typically the rides used by the three main human characters on the show. Oddly, Sureshot, despite being designed nearly 20 years later, is less convincing in both robot and scooter modes than Machine Robo toy Scooter Robo, better known here in the West as the Gobot Scooter. (Gobots were known as Robo Machine in Europe, and I am pretty sure Canada.) Compare: Sureshot:http://www.tfu.info/2002/Mini-Con/Sureshock/sureshock.htm Scooter: http://counter-x.net/gobots/reviews/series1/scooter.html Sureshot's scooter mode is decent, but I don't like how many seams it has. Scooter's holds together better. And even acknowleding that Sureshot has more articulation, her robot mode is more of a "college try" than Scooter's, which is solid all around and very nicely proportioned. Useless knowledge, away!
