• Landshaker (Micro TF Tank Base, 1990)
  • Japanese ID number: C-345
  • Accessories: Gunrunner Micromaster, large cannon, gun, ramps (2), missile launchers (2), figure stand.

Landshaker was sold in a boxed package along with Gunrunner. It has six large rolling wheels, the rear set being larger than the other four. It is armed with a huge main cannon, with another gun mounted on its top, and a dual missile launcher on each side. Gunrunner can stand in the cockpit, and, as a testament to the size of the vehicle, he can barely see over the edge of the cabin's armor. The main gun can raise by about 40° while the small gun and the missile launchers can rotate 360°.

The ATV transforms into a large battle station, with a launch pad for Micromaster jets and helicopters and two ramps that can be connected to other Micromaster bases. The ATV base is designed to accommodate several Micromaster figures, so one figure can man the main cannon, another can operate the rear computer console and another can sit in the left side recess. The guns retain their functionality from vehicle mode, and, as an added bonus, the main cannon can now rotate 360° as well.

In the west, this mold was released with different decals and a different pilot as the Groundshaker ATV.
