ATC Question?

[momaw nadon]

Sorry for the yank question here, but I have only been into the Action Force game for a short time and don't know much about these other than what I read or see from you guys.

I was wondering what all did the ATC have accessory wise? I was able to get one of these recently and it came with some accessories. I know it had at least one litter, but I have 2 of them and they both have different numbers one the bottom. One has M-1 and the other is M-2. So did the ATC only have one and I was lucky to get an extra? The archives show it with one and two, so I'm a little confused there.

Next would be that I have 2 detonators, one black and one brown and a brown ammo box. I don't think these were with it originally, but they are Action Force accessories. I don't see any think that this in the archives other than with the figures, so that is why I ask.

Last would be I have 2 gas cans, yellow in color. They look to be the SAS Panther cans, but there is a perfect spot in the ATC for them in the back. Almost like it was made for them where the sticker that says: Fuel Supplies. Now the color doesn't really go well with the Z-Force, so that is what makes me think they are not for this. So if that is true, did the ATC have cans that were a different color? Or was that just some coincidences that the spot looks to be just right for the cans?

Thank you for any help and information you can provide to me on this.

my ATC came with the rocket launcher and 4 rockets, a stretcher, a seat strap, steering wheel and the actual hull/wheels/turret

the fuel cans are almost definitely from the Panther.

i don't recall any ammo packs or detonators. brown ones would be from a series 1 figure.

I beleive Chopper is right. I have my childhood ATC (sadly still missing its aerial!), but I don't recall it coming with extra items other than those mentioned by Chopper. You just got the core vehicle.

BTW - when I said Chopper I meant Sundance - to early and in too much of a rush! Doh

i did wonder....

Yeah, I'm with Sundance - the ATC you got Momaw has an extra stretcher, and the ammo boxes definitely dont belong with it, nor do the cans. I noticed that with the cans though - they fit nicely in that little cut out marked "fuel". I suspect, what you have, is the original owner used to stash the ammo packs in the little boxed section of the ATC (as did I!) and the cans off their PAnther found their way into the fuel area. Then, after that last play, all them years ago, it found it's way to the loft like that. And, 20 years later, when it comes back from the loft and goe to ebay, it gets sold as it is!

Long answer there, I know, but short answer is - you were lucky! You got some extra stuff!

A sound theory. [runs off to put his Panther fuel cans into the ATC slot]

[SteveD]

Did the US APC have the same inside bit for the fuel cans? If so might that have come with a set of fuel cans?

[The Baron]

Silly boy. The UK ATC had a whole new interior.

Good lord - that US one is rubbish isnt it?
