1. Battle-Matic Action: Just like the LJN Thundertank, the Playful version of the iconic ThunderCats' vehicle was fitted with springs to allow it to transform into its "Attack Mode" just by depressing the blue switch on its rear. In this mode, the jaws are agape, the two claws are elevated, revealing cannons underneath them, and the top of the back opens up, revealing the pivoting cannon blaster. The Tank can be returned back to its cruise mode by pressing down the top of the jaws. The vehicle did not require batteries.

The vehicle had the capacity to seat two figures (not included), one in the driver's seat and one in the back compartment.
