Goodrock in particular is an odd toy. It's head is based of off the Pegasus and Lantaurion toys from the Micronauts line.

Goodrock (full name "Goodrock: The Defender Of The Planet") is the companion piece to the Viking Robot toy. Both toys were made in Hong Kong for the Italian market in 1979. Both toys come in the same box and are shown battling one another on the front. The top and bottom sides of the box show the heads of both toys with the names of each next to it and a check mark in the appropriate box so that you know which toy you are buying.

These 10" tall toys are the smallest known Junior Machinders and share the same molds on the arms. They also have the same fists as the larger Junior Machinders which tends to look a little bit silly. Goodrock in particular is an odd toy. It's head is based of off the Pegasus and Lantaurion toys from the Micronauts line. With bug eyes, sharp pointy teeth and horns on his head, you'd probably never guess that he is supposed to be the hero of the two! On top of that, he has no feet! This makes it basically impossible to raise the arms up or else the toy will fall forward.

With that said, I think it is easily the better toy of the pair. With the torso molded in orange polyethylene and the legs and fists in yellow, you get a more diverse color scheme than on Viking (if a whopping two colors can be called diverse.) More garish stickers come pre-applied on the toy, including some that resemble the insignia from Dangard Ace (the red and blue crossed arrows.) The head is of course made of soft vinyl. Goodrock also comes with a better weapon than Viking, a big silver sword that he holds in his left hand. It features the same missile launcher in his stomach as Viking. The alternately colored missiles are again stored on the shoulders.

This is a pretty silly looking toy and only of interest to the most hardcore Machinder or Micronaut collectors. It is among the easiest and cheapest Junior Machinders to get though. It shows up frequently and only costs about $40 or so.

Among the easiest and cheapest Junior Machinders to get, Viking is a companion piece to the Goodrock toy and if you are going to get one, you might as well get both.

Viking (full name: "Viking Robot: The Predator Of Space") is a toy that was made in Hong Kong for the Italian market in 1979. It is part of a set of toys called "Guerra Nella Galassia" ("War In The Galaxy") along with another called "Goodrock". Both toys come in the same box and are shown battling one another on the front. The top and bottom sides of the box show the heads of both toys with the name of each next to it and a check mark in the appropriate box so that you know which toy you are buying.

At only 10" tall, these are the smallest of the "Junior Machinders" made in Italy. Even though the bodies are smaller, they share the same firing fists as the larger sized toys. Viking's body is cast entirely in blue polyethylene with a myriad of stickers for detail. The stickers are just random colors and patterns, though there is a Great Mazinger like "V" on the chest.

The head is molded out of soft vinyl and has a very feline appearance. The fists are thin yellow polyethylene and the left one has a hole in it for holding Viking's hatchet accessory. It's only other weapon is a missile launcher in the belly. Two missiles are included, one with a white shaft and red tip, the other with those colors swapped. These are stored on the shoulders, but be careful of the tabs that hold them. They are not that strong and one of mine has cracked. In addition to sharing the same box, both Viking and Goodrock have the same arms and fists, though the arms are molded in different colors.
