The Roter Laser (Red Laser in English) was the German version of the Red Shadows Red Laser. They were the same figure but the German version did not have the Red Shadows skull emblem. It was stencilled over but the skull could still sometimes be seen if the stencil was scratched. He came with a laser pistol.
Roter Laser is the operator of the deadly Laser Schleuder (Laser Slingshot) One of the figures with full body movement. He was a repaint of the G.I. Joe Cobra Commander. He had a cleverly designed back and his weapon could be attached to it.
In 1983 Germany released their versions of Action Force as Anti-Terror Teams and Terror Teams. In Germany the logos on the figures were all changed and instead of replica guns they had weapons that looked less-real! The German toy boxes were all cardboard and did not have plastic windows like in other countries.
