Is this a transformer?

Hi guys,

Someone told me this was a transformer. Never heard of it and seems odd.

Can anyone verify if this is?

Thanks, if so, what line is it?

nope.

Batrain comes from the anime "Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger", which was produced by Kokusai Eiga Sha, TV Tokyo, and aired from April 1983 to January 1984.

The main mecha of the show was called Batrain. Takatoku toys put out several different toys of this character in the early 80s. The toy is a very solid mix of die cast and plastic. The die cast content is limited to two swing bars in the waist. Transformation is simple, but involves removal of the arms.

Batrain included missile firing fists, a gun, and missiles.

Yeah, there's been some very cool non-Hasbro/Takara brand transforming toys over the years... :) (& I've got one arriving soon ;))
