  • Vollet (Masterforce Warrior, 1988)
Vollet is a blue and red redeco of the Powermaster Nebulan Lube. He was sold in a small box in Japan as part of the Masterforce series, along with the other separate Godmaster engines Aquastar and Zetca.
This mold as also used to make the Godmaster engine form of Road King.

Notes

  • Vollet is often identified as "Bullet". However, this does not match the original Japanese Boretto (ボレット); "bullet" is typically transliterated into Japanese as baretto (バレット). Boretto, like Zetca, is taken from a previous toyline made by Takara—in this case, Captain Harlock. Takara's series features spaceships in the Boretto series, whose toys are labeled in Latin letters as "Bullet". However, romanization on later toys and packaging renders this word as "Vollet" to better match its origins as a made-up sci-fi word.
