ACTION FORCE 1983-1984 (second SERIES)

Z FORCE SAPPER (TRACKER)

Codename: Tracker

Personal Name: Raoul Santillana

Action Force Number: 396669

Primary Military Speciality: Engineering

Secondary Military Speciality: Infantry

Birthplace: Madrid, Spain

Joined Spanish army straight from school and swiftly became foremost expert on rapid motorised deployment. He is tough, a fast worker (he has to be!), and trained under battle conditions. If Z Force are in a tight situation call on Tracker. Can handle most types of projectile weapons. 

“Tracker is the best rifle shot in Z Force and is an expert sniper.”

The Z Force Sapper “Tracker” came with the large M60 machine gun and a black ammo box. His figure mould was used with the First Series Commando, the SAS Commando and the SAS Stake-Out figure. His datafile indicates that he helps to get Z Force out of tight spots and is a sniper. Almost a shame that he did not have a special sniper rifle weapon supplied with him!
