When Grimlock became an Action Master, he was partnered with an anti-tank cannon. It transforms into a long-range mortar launcher which can fire up to 50 miles.

  • Grimlock with anti-tank cannon (Action Master, 1990)
Part of the initial assortment of carded Action Master figures packed in with Grimlock, the anti-tank cannon is a small treaded drone unit that can be ridden by most Action Master figures, though its fairly small size makes it so the figures have to squat to do so, which leaves them both very back-heavy and very funny-looking.
The anti-tank cannon unfolds via spring-loaded gimmick to form a really big hand-held "long-range mortar launcher", completed by plugging Grimlock's "particle beam cannon" weapon into its barrel (though any Action Master weapon will also do).
