Sundown (C.O.P.S.)

Sundown (Real Name: Marshall Walker Calhoun, Texas Ranger) is a fictional character in the C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists) series from Hasbro.

Character Profile
Sundown is the best gunslinger in the entire state of Texas and beyond. Extremely fast on the draw with his 2 rifles and an excellent lasso handler. In the toy series however, Sundown has a back pack that shoots out bolo snares to catch Crooks that are trying to escape. Sundown appears as a cheerful looking cowboy with a curled mustache, a sheriff's uniform (Sometimes Sundown wears a Cops officer's uniform in many episodes of the series, including The Case of the Big Bad Boxoids.), a ten gallon hat, a sheriff's badge, a belt with 2 gun holsters on each side of his hips.

Major Highlights
Sundown is a "robot whisperer." He sweet-talks computers and robots into cooperating with the humans just like one does with misbehaving dogs and stubborn horses. He displays this unusual talent in The Case of The Big Bad Boxoids when he coaxes a computer to cooperate with Mainframe when it goes haywire on her. He then coaxes "Old Bucket", a broken down Boxoid (a robot machine made to replace human boxers in the future) to battle with Berzerko riding on one of the Boxoids he and his pal Turbo Tu-Tone have stolen. In this caper, Big Boss' thugs stole 3 of the best Boxoids around and used them to steal the mazer melter from a construction site and used them to meltdown the city's power plant and black out the whole city unless the city pays Big Boss' demands. After learning that the Boxoids' metal can rust, Mainframe supplied a special saltwater salution that will rust boxoids quickly. However, Sundown had an other idea to stop the boxoids and paid a visit to the fight manager, who told him about how Boxoid Boxing is played and shows him "Old Bucket" a stubborn boxoid, which Sundown is able to sweet talk into helping him stop the boxoids and save Empire city from a major blackout.

Sundown had a partner, who became a notorious train robber named Johnny Yuma, who escaped from prison to take on Sundown in The Case of the Pardner in Crime. In this caper, Bulletproof tells the C.O.P.S. about Sundown and his ex-"pardner", Johnny Yuma and how this ex-deputy became greedy, turned hinself into a life a crime, and began to commit train robberies for a long awhile until Sundown was able to capture him and put him in prison. Sundown, upon learning about what happened, insists on taking on Yuma all by himself without the help of his comerades. However, Yuma began to make amends for his actions against Sundown during a gunslinging bout with Big Boss' minions and together, they both stop the crooks and halted a train robbery attempt in the process.

Sundown, one time while suffering from Amnesia after being knocked out by a fallen lightpost, unwittingly taught Big Boss' Crooks all the tricks and traits of what it's like to be a cowboy in The Case of the Missing Memory, not knowing that this is part of Big Boss' plot to used Sundown as a pawn to commit an armor truck robbery, only for Sundown to regain his memory later on and help the C.O.P.S. team put a stop to those nasty rustlers.
