They were four different transforming Commandrons. Each measured about 3.75" inches long:
1)Motron
2)Velocitor
3)Commandant Magna
4)Solardyn
Something interesting to note is that the US Commandrons had stickers with a double lined V whereas Canada versions and the Super Alternators (Toy line version released to stores one year later) had a C symbol. The proof of purchase coupon on the rear of the US card backs showed the C symbol and not the V.

The Commandrons were based off the Transformers from the TV show and were able to walk and transformer. They were made by Tomy. They even had a promotional Pin for employees to wear during the promotion:
