Ok so I’m trying to figure out this toy line from when I was little. I believe it was a military focused toy line with good guys and bad guys. The bad guys had vehicles that were combined with other vehicles. The one I have stuck in my head was like a dump truck on half tracks with a bulldozed scoop in the front and the part that made it a dump truck wasn’t actually for use for dumping but like a mobile battle station. Please someone tell me I’m not crazy.

i think you are refering to a toy line called: "Steel Monsters". basically its like a mad max storyline but generic and made by tonka in the 80's. i remember it had the good guys or "survivors" and the bad guys i think "marauders". theres a bunch of them floating around on ebay from time to time.

I remember having the Blaster Truck, it was pretty sick, My Joes did a lot of off roading in it! Holy Crap! Thanks for the link...now I can finally name the ones I had (I wanted to chime in earlier...but with what? "yeah, I remember those! Don't remember the names of what I had...but they were tonka trucks...[i]yeeeeeeeah[/]")! I had the half track & got the wrecker from a friend who happened to "misplace" my Thunder Tank one day at school so after school at his house I "misplaced" his wrecker in to my book bag. Yeah, douchebag move on my part, but I was 11 at the time, and it felt like Justice. |
