[edit] Challenge of the GoBots
Loco was a long-serving Renegade, fighting in the defence of the Renegades' fortress on Gobotron. He was used sporadically after that, most notably helping the cyborg arms dealer Trident hijack a shipment of UNICOM materials.
[edit] Robo Machines
In the Eagle comic storyline, Loco was the only member of Stron-Domez' force to be completed at their short-lived factory in Birmingham. Soon after his activation, he was posted on guard duty, but the Security Forces Robo Machine Truck was able to sneak past him and free the captive human workforce. Loco was knocked out when the SF robot escaped. A few moments later, the Security Forces raided the factory, and Loco was gunned down, once again by Truck. He was deactivated, and his body presumably remains on board the Command Centre at the end of the serial.
[edit] Toy
Loco’s toy was a re-release of the Machine Robo Steam Robo figure (MR-05). It was first issued in 1983, and was available until the end of 1984. It was also released in Europe.
