You can hear the rock opera playing in the background for this one.

The Sheep Hunter (シープハンター Shīpu Hantā) is a remarkably unique vehicle. Shaped like the head of a carnivorous ram, it charges into battle with frightening speed. With his rider Rabbit Kid at the helm, his twin head cannons and sharpened teeth can cut into the fiercest Beastformer or Laser Beast.

• Sheep Hunter (Beastformer Head Hunter Vehicle, 1987)

The Sheep Hunter is a massive purple tank, with a pair of cannons and a ram's head in front. Like the other Head Hunter vehicles, the Sheep Hunter's main gimmick is the pull-back motor that launches the Sheep Hunter at the enemy. A pair of Beastformer or Laser Beast figures could be imprisoned with hooks that fold out from the sides of the vehicle. The mouth, filled with un-sheep-like sharp teeth, seems to remain open as it charges forward, however.

This Head Hunter vehicle came packed-in with Rabbit Kid, seemingly unchanged from his original releases.
