Attack Cruiser

The Attack Cruiser is an Autobot Action Master vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Blurring the line between attacking and cruising.

The Attack Cruiser is an Action Master vehicle. The weapon systems were rebuilt by Sprocket, its primary driver. As an all-terrain car, it boasts an impressive arsenal including two photon rifles, magnetic rockets able to immobilize metallic targets, and defensive bumper energy shields. When it converts to its vector-thrust hovercopter mode, it's armed with twin front-mounted plasma-pulse machine guns.

YOU tell him he's holding the missiles the wrong way.

• Sprocket (Action Master Autobot Vehicle, 1990)

The Attack Cruiser is a car that can transform into an attack helicopter. It was sold with Sprocket.

Despite being a helicopter, it is not the Attack Copter. That's something else entirely!

Notes

• The box for the Attack Cruiser shows its front gun with separate grey pieces for its "barrels". These look to pull out and extend from the body of the gun, or conceivably even fire like missiles. On the finished toy they are not separate but molded as a solid part of the main gun.
