Toys
Generation 1
- 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.
