It's called a "Battle Pod." The name of the race is "Zentraedi" (or
it was on the box), which may also help you in your search. I had a
light blue, white, and black toy Battle Pod, which I bought around
1988 or so. I also got one of the personal battle suits (the one
with the central gun in the torso)--there was also a series of plastic
Destroids on the same rough "scale", that came out a second time around
1994-95 as part of another toy series (the one with exoframes, I forget
what it was called). I also have a little red Invid scout and a big
lavender (?) Invid Shock Trooper. Beautiful things, really.
But I'm not aware of any company or group currently producing any
of the Zentraedi machines as a toy. You might look for resin kits,
as those are relatively easy to make on a small scale.
