I'm not certain but I think it was made by either Mattel or Matchbox, I wish I had a picture because it was fairly big and looked pretty cool.

It looks more like one of the robotic suits from Tekkaman_Blade or Tekno Man

Its not teknoman because they didn't have a vehicle mode with wheels...

I have no idea what the blue thing is. It's definately very Sentai looking.
