• Krok with Gatoraider (Action Master, 1990)

Part of the second series of individually-carded Action Masters, Gatoraider is a mechanical alligator who came with his larger partner Krok. Gatoraider transforms via spring-loaded mechanism into a "concussion cannon" Targetmaster mode that can be held by any Action Master figure. His barrel can be extended by attaching most normal Action Master rifles to the end.
