M.A.S.K Gator

Here we have Gator from Series 1.

In it's vehicle mode, it is a jeep with a 2 passenger capability. In this mode, it is primarily orange with chrome in the hubcaps and front grill. There is a turret at the top roll bar which can rotate from the back to the top to form a semi-attack mode.

In it's attack mode, Gator transforms into a speedboat. To transform, one has to pull back the 2 black tabes located in between the 2 side wheels and the chassis of Gator will pop up. Once the chassis is raised, a spring action will propel the speedboat out. The speedboat has a gun which is at the driver's side and a depth charge which can be propelled by pressing on a tab at the back of the speedboat. The speedboat is primarily in orange with a black rubber front and chromed side-vents. There is a depression at the front of the speedboat with a peg in the middle which serves as a mask storage area. This particular feature is quite unique as I have only seen it in Gator only. However, with the mask placed in the holder, it often comes in the way when attempting to release the speedboat using the main gimmick.

The depth charge tabe and the rotating gun turet can be detached and re-attached in case it comes out due to rough play.

Accessories for Gator include a chromed depth charge, an attachable rollbar turret and the speedboat.

The pilot of Gator is Dusty Hayes. Dusty sports a blue overalls and red vest with silver detailling. He has a pair of goggles moulded on top of his eyes. His mask is Backlash which has the power of shooting out kinetic blasts. Backlash is primarily a matt silver with blue visor and detailling.
