M.A.S.K Bulldog

This here is a M.A.S.K Bulldog from the 3rd series, or more commonly known as the racing series. It goes by another name, Bulldoze in the European regions. Several of the latter series M.A.S.K toys had different names in the US and in Europe, this being one of them. The others consists of Bullet (Bandit), Barracuda (Jackal) and Hurricane (Nightstalker).

In it's vehicle mode, Bulldog is a semi, much like Rhino of Series 1, although it is slightly smaller than Rhino. It's fairly reminescient of G1 Optimus Prime in the vehicle mode. Chrome is present in the smokestacks, the front grill & bumper, the hubcaps and the foglights at the top of the roof.

Bulldog's attack mode is some sort of tracked tank. To transform it, all you have to do is to press a button at the back of the vehicle, the cab falls back, the chain saw emerges from the front and the roof flips out as a result of the cab falling back. You then have to move the smokestacks down, pull out the 2 lasers from under the front grill, turn the rear wheels over to expose the tracks and position the missile launcher. Lastly, you can then pivot the seats in the cab to a 45 degree angle, but that is purely optional. In this mode, Bulldog can seat 3 M.A.S.K figures, 2 in the cab and 1 in the front, behind the brown armour which flips out to reveal a seat behind it.

Accessory wise, Bulldog comes with 1 missile that resembles an arrow head with a hole in each 'wing'.

The pilot of Bulldog is Borris Bushkin who made his debut in the cartoon series in the racing series episode, "Demolition Duel to the Death" which was incidentally the first episode for the racing series. His appearance was pretty much like Nash Gorey (Outlaw) in that he was a double agent. Nash was a VENOM double agent while Boris was a M.A.S.K double agent.

Borris' mask is "Comrade" which fired some sort of reddish stars that confused his enemies. Pretty useless power compared to some of the other mask powers, in my own opinion. The mask looks like some bear's face with white fur trimmings.
