Working Gas Station Phone ~ Lubbock TX

This beauty still works and for some reason is a newer (less than 10 years) phone. My best friend (who lives across the state) has a 1 800 number for his business and I like to call and prank him from time to time. "Hello Dad? I'M IN JAIL!!!!"

I don't think it's going to ring anytime soon. (Lubbock TX)

Just one of the few I have found around town. I found one that still works too!

Okay, this is going to be a long shot but here we go.

I had an uncle who would gift me Japanese robots that were put out in the wake of the Transformers craze in the 80s. These weren't all transforming robots, but this one in particular was a bit different. The robot I am looking for was a die cast metal and plastic robot about 5-6" tall. It came apart and looked like it would transform (like wheels under his shoulders). It reminded me of the Giant Robot cartoons akin to a Diaclone or something Bandai may have put out in Japan but not here in the states.

This robot in particular has a plastic red head, a gold chevron mask over his eyes, blue arms and legs, the hips and legs were silver die cast metal. This toy in particular was hard to move the arms up and down, and would old lift outward (like he was going to take off). I'm sure whatever franchise it came from, the robot had a full motion of movement.

I would like to know what Robot franchise it came from or even what toy. I drew the sword long ago and had AI clean it up and turn my drawing into a plastic toy. The ONLY difference in this sword and the one that came with the toy was the toy version had some gold painted accents on it (AI did not add them).
