Apart from Super Big Rescue, there was this particular Combiner mecha toys consisted of 3 Fighter Planes that I used to have when I was a Kid. Ultimately my long search of this particular 30 year old Memory lead me to a Toy Product made by JAM called Battle Sky Hawk. Apparently for a set of 3, this particular combiner mecha Toy only costed 1000 Yen back in Late 80s, which is a literal steal for Today's standard. Though I would expect the toy cost 5-6 times if it was released in the present JPY rate .
Not exactly the same color palette version that I had which came in Dark Green/Yellow color. But I remembered this mecha toy due the distinct Fighter Jet design that served as the Leg Parts which remained to be the exact same. My copy of Battle Sky Hawk was likely a Taiwan version or Chinese Knockoff, but this sort of toys is what made me grew to like mecha robots, especially the combiner variants. While Battle Sky Hawk design didn't age well by present standard as it looks like a poor Starscream knockoff, I would say the design can be still salvaged and get a makeover for it to look decent.
Apart from Battle Sky Hawk there were similar Combiner toys that seems to be made by similar Designer team despite it is being produced by different company which are called Jumbo Sky Hawk and Super Machine King. Who knows these toys will jog anyone's childhood memories
