Trained originally in fast jets, converted to Space. Friendly rivalry with Red Wolf started at NASA. Not so friendly no but Moondancer hasn’t yet given up on his old pal. Secondment to Cosmic Security and further Action force training have made Moondancer a top rate space combat tactician.
“Moondancer’s thoughtful tactics have saved many a lost engagement.”
Moondancer came exclusively with the Triad Fighter vehicle. He came with a helmet and visor. His body mould was the same as the Space Pilot but he boots are a different colour.
Moondancer trained at NASA with Red Wolf and there is some rivalry between the two! The Datafile states that Moondancer has not given up on his old pal and so obviously hopes he will one day come back to the forces of good! Moondancer came exclusively with the Triad Fighter and came with a helmet and visor.
The Triad Fighter and Roboskull will have had many a dog fight over the years!

Moondancer has the same mould as the Space Pilot (Hot Jets). Moondancer’s boots are orange. The boots of the Space Pilot are blue. The same mould was also used for the German Njet figure.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR
In 1985 Moondancer version two was created and packaged with the Triad Fighter version two. The version two figure came with a helmet, visor and mortar with stand (a repaint of the G.I. Joe figure Shortfuse). This figure is considered rare and can be hard to find as well as being expensive to buy.
DATAFILE
Datafiles could be found in the Battle Action Force comics. They contained lots of information about the characters and had some great artwork.
