Grandstand Convertors were only produced in the UK in 1981. The Grandstand Convertors that are Diaclone based, are fully licensed by Takara and were put out by Hales Ltd. The toys are exactly the same with Takara markings. Other Japanese transforming toys were produced in this line. Strangely though they are packaged with the rubber tipped protected missiles which originated from Italy. Though there are slots for the the Diaclone drivers, the box was empty but showing slots for them.
This is Omegatron, are as we know him, Omega Supreme. You have to wonder how close to production of Omeag Supreme this guy was. It is possible that Hasbro gave Omeag Supreme his name based on this issued version. Dunno!
