I’ve dug out some pictures of Japanese Androids. Here we have Android Ace (left) and Super A or Chojin (right). British Cyborg only had one type of chest engine, but these figures have three (I presume) individual designs. I love the somewhat broken English phrase “open the breast Android” – is this a description or an instruction?
Spymagician was asking about the British Android’s chest engine. Here are a couple of pics which should give you some idea. One also shows the Hypnotator head.
In design, it resembles that of Ace, with the two circles near the top, but it has been modified to contain and fire the missiles. I was amazed to hear that Chojin cannot fire his missiles. I can’t see the kidney shaped green area that you described, Spymagician. Here is British Android’s box front.
If you look closely, you can see that the chest engine shown on the box is a prototype and quite different from the one he ended up with. In fact, it seems to resemble Chojin’s, at least in that the missile holes are lower down.
Here is the third Japanese figure, Robot A. His doors are closed but he seems to be sporting a third design, with the two green panels, that got re-worked into the Hypnotator head by Denys Fisher. Maybe the Japanese one doubled up as a head, too. I wish I knew more about these. Can anyone help?

Enjoy, you Cybo-diehards!
