	: It opens up into a water-themed battle station with a central "waterfall". Unlike the other two Fortresses, the transformation is asymmetrical ''and'' results in the pilot compartment being rendered unusable in base form, upside-down and flat against the back of the base. The left side of the base has a prison cell (a ''very'' common feature among 80's playsets). The right side has ''two'' flip-out panels with weapon mounting points, one from the side of the main body, and a smaller one in the side of the tail. A third weapon mounting point is revealed at the front of the base on the shark's lower jaw; there is ''just'' enough clearance for the barrels of the double-guns or the gripper-claw to stick out of the shark-mode mouth if you leave them mounted there. However, they butt right up against the upper jaw wedged between the teeth, so they're rendered effectively immobile.		: It opens up into a water-themed battle station with a central "waterfall".
