ZYBOTS: Aqua Shooters

Zybots III Aqua Shooters
1984 Remco Toys
Made in China

In 1984 Remco released a double barrel water gun inspired by the Astro Magnum mold. Remco previous released smaller transformable vehicle robots under their Zybots and Zybots II lines. Aqua Shooters were released in their Zybots III line.
Aqua Shooters came in a double barrel space version water gun as well as an Uzi water gun.

In Italy known as Robo Splash 1 & Robo Splash 2


Classic Zybots simplicity


Side by side comparison between Toyco Astro Magnum vs. Remco Aqua Shooters.
Basically: the same height, grey body color, red eye, sporting a hose and most importantly they transform into a gun/pistol.

Again, side by side leg comparisons with Astro Magnum vs. Aqua Shooters. Both have curved legs, interior line patterns and folding feet. Clearly Aqua Shooters took inspiration from Astro Magnum.
