Abstract
A transformable toy vehicle capable of being converted into a toy robot is provided. The converted toy robot gives no impression of the original outer appearance of the toy vehicle, because of the folding operation of the front and rear compartments. The transformable toy vehicle includes a body, a chassis, pivotal members, and wheel support members. The body includes front, middle, and rear compartments. The chassis supports the front and rear compartments and mounts thereupon the vehicle wheels. The front and rear compartments can be rotated about the pivotal member relative to each other to form a trunk body of the toy robot, and the middle compartment is mounted upon the pivotal member to form a head portion of the toy robot. The wheel support member provided with arm or leg member, is pivotally connected to the chassis for rotatably bearing the wheels, and is housed in the recesses formed in the front and rear compartments for pulling out the arm and leg members from the recesses to form arms and legs of the toy robot.
