1989 Equalizer (Slaughter's Marauders)

All three Slaughter’s Marauders tanks were mash-ups, utilizing new parts and parts from previous vehicles.
The Equalizer features an all new top, and borrows the bottom from the 1985 Mauler M.B.T.: Manned Battle Tank.

NOTE: Although the box art showed Sgt. Slaughter, Spirit and Mutt manning the Equalizer, no figures were included.

The 360 spin below shows a more practical attack position, with Spirit and Mutt safely positioned in the crew seats below the armored hatches. Interestingly, Sgt. Slaughter is too wide to tuck away into the missile control seat. 

The Equalizer features several moving and removable parts, and the sculpt is incredibly detailed.

This commercial highlights the Equalizer and features cameos of the Lynx and Armadillo. Oddly, Sgt. Slaughter calls Mutt Footloose.
