[edit] Challenge of the GoBots

Cop-Tur was, along with Crasher, Cy-Kill's regular muscle on the Renegades' frequent forays to Earth, beginning with the Renegades' first attempt to conquer the planet. due to the nature of his vehicle mode, he would often be pitched into aerial combat with Guardian commander Leader-1, invariably coming off second best^[1]. He also developed something of a rivalry with the Guardian Flip Top.

Cop-Tur can use his rotor blades in either mode to create localised hurricanes, or (in robot mode) a sword. Like most of the Renegades, Cop-Tur isn't especially smart. He has something of a sick sense of humour, and often lets off a vicious chuckle when he comes across a weaker foe.

[edit] Robo Machines

In the Eagle comic storyline, Cop-Tur was built on Earth by Stron-Domez, and first saw action taking control of a factory in Birmingham. He only had a short life, as soon afterwards the factory was rushed by the Robotron Security Forces, and Cop-Tur was captured. He was deactivated, and his body most likely remained on baord the SF Command Centre at the end of the series.

Fitor was presumably built from scratch by Stron-Domez as no-one else was seen to board the vessel on Robotron.

[edit] Dreamwave Productions

Cop-Tur's body was seen in an abandoned base on Cybertron in an issue of Dreamwave's Transformers Armada comic.

[edit] Robot Chicken

The character's prosaic name was also lampooned in a sketch on the show Robot Chicken.

[edit] Toy

Cop-Tur's toy was a re-release of the Machine Robo Gyro Robo figure (MR-04). It was first issued in 1983, and was available until the end of the line. It was also released in Europe.
