	: Released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US (sixth and non-final in Europe), the Attack Cruiser is a large off-road-ish vehicle that can seat two Action Master figures. Despite its box art, there are no extra "foot pegs" on the back bumpers for other Action Masters to ride along. It can transform into an aerodynamically-impossible attack helicopter.		: Released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' in the US (sixth and non-final in Europe), the Attack Cruiser is a large off-road-ish vehicle that can seat two Action Master figures.

	: While there hasn't been any mentioning of the Attack Cruiser suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] among the fandom, the toy does feature a fair bit of gold plastic; the same kind in fact, that is featured on most GPS-ridden toys from the same era. So let this be a warning if you're ever in the market to find one for your collection.		: While there hasn't been any mentioning of the Attack Cruiser suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] among the fandom, the toy does feature a fair bit of gold plastic; the same kind in fact, that is featured on most GPS-ridden toys from the same era.
