MASK or M.A.S.K. stands for MOBILE ARMORED STRIKE KOMMAND. Acronyms were big in the 80's. This toy line had it all, the sets came with a figure and a vehicle and a Mask accessories!, Each vehicle could transform into something else. There were comics, and a TV show. My first memory's were of the toys, I was so young I did not know what they were, I just knew they were cool. Then I saw the cartoon, and fell in love, got the toy catalog and had to get the ones I did not have. They were a Mosaic of all the cool features of all the hit toys of the era. Action Figures, Vehicles, Transforming Vehicles, vehicles that had guns, super powers (The Mask's gave the wearers powers.), cool cartoon, cool comic books, it had it all.
Below I show the the First Wave, or Series 1
Boulder Hill
This was MASK's head quarters, the jewel of the set.
Condor
One of my favorites just because of the simplicity. The rotor arms pivoted up which lower the landing gear at the same time, the rotors folded out, the back wheel folded up!
Firecracker
Not a stand out but very cool!
Gator
Boat mode was much cooler than the jeep mode!
Jackhamer
The second coolest bad guy vehicle, the bad guys were call V.E.N.O.M., again, acronyms were big in the 80's.
Piranha
The coolest bad guy vehicle, I know it's a sub but don't take in water, the internal springs will rust. I know from first hand experience! This was soo cool, it was a motorcycle and side car plus a sub, an attack sub. Two of the coolest vehicles combined!
Rhino
This is tied for the coolest good guy vehicle, very cool very assome! It's like a vehicle and a battle station.
Swtchblade
A very nice bad guy vehicle, actually practical today, and is driven by the bad guy leader!
T-Bob
This is the ARTwo every boy would want! an action figure and a vehicle!
Thunder Hawk
This is the second vehicle in the tie for coolest good guy vehicle. If the good guy leader was not driving it it would have come in second. When I got this I went through the roof,
