Description

RoboTops is equipped with 2 flame launchers, 2 disc launcher arms, and a harpoon. It stands over 8 inches tall.

Background

RoboTops is a super Throwbot formed by Torch, Ski, Turbo, and Scuba. In the Lunchables comic Throwbots Adventures!, Torch is faced with a Fire Monster that is too big for him to battle, so he is joined by Ski, Turbo, and Scuba in the fire zone, and the LEGO Maniac combines them into RoboTops. RoboTops uses his discs to defeat the Fire Monster

In a promotional Slizer comic, the four Good Slizers combine together to form the Super Slizer. It confronts Judge Slizer, who escapes and joins up with the other Evil Slizers to form the Mega Slizer. Super Slizer and Mega Slizer engage one another in battle.
