The figure was later issued as the GoBots figure Crasher, with no significant changes.Like the rest of the range, the figure retailed at ¥600.

It is therefore possible that these changes to Porsche Robo were made very late in the production process. This was likely a prototype, though it was unusual for Bandai to use such art on the actual boxes of a released figure. The Machine Robo box art showed a somewhat different livery, including darker blue markings running the entire profile of the car mode. Porsche has some articulation in the shoulders. While basically every moving part on the figure is a lightning rod for wear simple gravity makes this less of a problem than you'd think, though the feet can be difficult to get even on many loose examples of the toy, resulting in a distinctive stagger. Unlike Takara/Hasbro figures of the period like Mirage, no attempt was made to alter the spelling. The figure features very few paint applications, with most of the vehicle mode markings being factory-applied stickers - these carry Rothmans advertising, in line with the famous Porsche team of the time.
