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

The Attack Copter is Over-Run's Action Master vehicle. This advanced model copter has a range of 1,200 and can operate continuously for up to 3.5 hours.

  • Attack Copter with Over-Run (Action Blaster Vehicle, 1990)
    • Accessories: Rotor, 2 side cannons, 2 missiles, "laser cannon", engine cover/shield
The Attack Copter is a helicopter that can be "piloted" by a single Action Master figure. In its normal copter configuration, the two missiles attach to fins on the sides of the vehicle, and the "laser cannon" plugs under the copter nose. The two side cannons form... engines, or something, as they're not really in a useful firing position in this mode.
The copter transforms via partial disassembly into a piece of field artillery. The back end flips over (once you remove the tail piece to get out of its way) to form a blast shield, plus brings the side cannons into a forward firing position. The two missiles can be plugged into the ends of the side cannons; while they can still do this in the normal copter mode, it's kind of awkward. The copter's engine cover can also detach to form a largish shield held by any Action Master figure.
This set came with the Action Master figure of Over-Run.


Notes

  • Over-Run's instructions refer to the Attack Copter as simply "helicopter".
  • The "laser cannon" accessory is actually Vortex's left-side-cannon, retooled to be held by Action Master figures.
