Released
at the same time as his sidekick Nemesis in 1978, Phobos was a large boxed
item molded in a very nice red and black plastic, with chrome head and
hands. About this time, Mego was designing it's own toys for the Micronauts
line, and they based Phobos on the already existing Biotron, therefore
Phobos had no direct Microman counterpart. He shared all Biotron's motorized
capabilities tho, including walking, rolling tank, and spinning head and
arms. The 2 "C" batteries were placed inside the torso on either side,
underneath chrome panels.

The 2
small wheels and 8 adaptors (identical to Biotron's) were molded in an
off-white and could be used to help perform many functions, such as helping
the head and arms to spin. Phobos could also walk when the lower legs
were broken down and placed onto the motorized pegs located inside the
thigh section. He could also roll along in tank mode, with a flip of the
motorized treads on his back. The forearms contained small rollers for
support when in this mode.

Phobos
also had the removable chest cockpit and chrome spring loaded pincher
hands. The most visible difference with Phobos and Biotron (besides the
color scheme) was the head sculpt. Phobos' head was much larger, had horns,
and contained 2 faces! On one side, was a goofy looking "smiling" type
face, and on the other was a more evil menacing face.
