I just bought a loose one at a vintage toy shop, but I don't know much about it. On the bottom it reads: Bandai 1984. Was it first released under Popy? Was it only released as a GoBot? I found these pics under a Gobot site, but I was wondering if there was any history on the figure.

As far as I know, it was only a gobot. It's transformation is identical to many of the other deluxe gobots, and while it has a look that's remniscent of some later Chogokin toys, when you place it right next to the Abega team, you can see it's stylistically more grounded in realistic-looking vehicles than the more extreme sci-fi look of the "futuristic" gokins.

Future machine comes from "Space Cobra" (known as cobra in the US), it's original name is "Psychoroid".
It was released as a DX Machinerobo, then a DX Gobot.
The car is in episodes 2-3 of Cobra, and does not transform in the TV series

Thanks for the info guys. It's a cool little bot and since the seller had everything in his case at half-off, I got it for $9.50.
