M.A.S.K Raven

Here we have Raven from Series 2.

In it's normal mode, Raven closely resembles it's real life counterpart, a Corvette C4. It has chromed hubcaps. In this mode, Raven can seat 2 figures. An interesting to note is that there are seat belts to hold the figures in place.

In it's attack mode, Raven transforms into a sea plane. To effect the transformation, one has to push a tab on the right of the vehicle to spin the front portion 180 degrees. The doors have to be flipped down and the wheels turned 90 degrees inwards. Finally, a button where the rear license plate is to pop up the rear spoiler to reveal a set of jet engines. The engines are chromed. The black bars on the wheels can be lifted up to reveal a laser on each wheel.

Raven comes with 2 buzz saw missiles which can be fired from the front of the vehicle. This is the toy's main gimmick. To start, load the 2 projectiles into the firing bay. When fully loaded, one projectile should sit on top of the other. To fire, one has to pull back a tab located at the rear of the vehicle to 'cock and load' the firing mechanism, much like cocking and loading a real gun. After it has been loaded, a projectile can be fired by pressing the button at the top of the vehicle. To fire the 2nd projectile, one has to load the firing mechanism again. 1 load, 1 shot, simple as that. This gimmick works in bothe modes.

Raven's pilot is Calhourn Burns who sports 2 tone blue scheme with neon orange details. His mask is Gulliver which has the power to shrink or enlarge objects and then return them to normal size. The mask is primarily a neon orange with blue visor and black details.
