It just arrived in the mail today so i am proud to say i finally have the MOBAT from 1982. It is of course missing part of the turret on top and Steeler but it is still a classic. I am not sure if the electronics work ill have to test them but i need to go out and get the proper batteries.
But with this my Joe's finally have a proper tank for battle since my only other vehicles for the Joe's are two 30th Sky-strikers, RoC Armadillo, some helicopter from 2002, and that retaliation dune buggy. Now both my GI Joe's and Cobra have the equal amount of vehicles. So then who else out there has a MOBAT and just finds it as an awesome classic tank to have? |

Congrats on your MOBAT!
I have one as well and love it as I never had it as a kid. The motor is pretty weak but still one of those iconic vehicles you need to have. Enjoy! |

Congrats. I like the tank (I think I have 6), but it's a bit on the small side for 1/18 scale. The Bravo team tanks are more like it.
Oh and the 6 are different versions of the TANK. |

You and "new & shiny" are not things I would group together after seeing your customs.

I recently got a Mobat ina lot I bought from craigslist. $50 and it included a complete Armadillo, Bridge Layer or whatever its called with Toll Booth, 2 water squirting jets, Snake Eyes v2, Cobra Commander, Scarlet and a few other vehicles that were missing a bunch of stuff. It was a good deal. The Mobat is really dirty though, full of dry mud and who knows what else. But anyway, the Mobat was never a big deal to me, and its still like whatever. I have 2 of the Target packs as well... Just got one from my brother this past Christmas

The MOBAT was based on an early prototype of the M-1 Abrams, which was less than half the size of the tank that ultimately went into production.

Congrats, I know I miss the one I had when I was a kid. Picked up the Target UBP version, but disappointed that it didn't have the tow hitch to haul a HAL or MMS. Enjoy your find!

You might say I like the Mobat. I wish the first one I ever had was mint, but I played with it a butt-load, and it was great. Now its a custom, mainly because it was so delapedated from years of hard play, there was no other route to go.
