Transformers Generation 1 Cosmos!

Cosmos was an Autobot Mini Vehicle released in 1985 with the second series of Generation 1, as part of the low-cost Mini Vehicle assortment. Cosmos transforms into a green George Adamski-style flying saucer UFO. US Patent for G1 Cosmos Origins His mold was very likely originally designed by Akio Kitamura to be included in Takara’s Microman: Microchange line, but was never released in this capacity due to the line’s cancellation in early 1984. Unlike Diaclone, the Mini CAR robo assortment of Microchange (of which Cosmos was presumably to have been a part) were intended to represent toy vehicles rather than real ones, causing many of the figures to have somewhat distorted proportions. An early Takara solicitation catalog showed Cosmos with blue as his primary color, before it was finalzed as green. Cosmos’ US Patent, titled Reconfigurable toy vehicle (aka Transformers G1 Cosmos) was filed on October 25, 1984 (U.S. Patent No. USD291461 S). Description Cosmos is molded in green
