ACTION FORCE 1985 (THIRD SERIES)
WOLVERINE VERSION 2
Wolverine
A high-speed tracked vehicle, the Wolverine is driven by “Ton-up.” It’s armed with a rotating and elevating missile-launch turret.
The Action force Wolverine vehicle had a missile launcher that rotated and could be moved up and down. It contained twelve missiles. The vehicle came with a tow rope that was notorious for breaking due to its thin and fragile nature. These tow ropes are very hard to find! It also had an engine cover.
There was a tow hook at the back of the vehicle and other vehicles such as the Whirlwind could be pulled along.
There was a small grey part that attached to the top and locked the rotating part with the missiles in place. This part is often missing.
It came with the figure Ton-up who was a repaint of the G.I. Joe figure Rock and Roll. Ton-up came with a helmet and sometimes a clear visor that went with the helmet.
The vehicle was originally released as part of the Action Force SAS team (Wolverine version 1) in the colour black and with the figure Hunter.
