All six of the 1987 Battle Force 2000 vehicles are really 2 battle units in 1!
The Marauder splits to become a standalone motorcycle and a manned tank unit.

The 1987 Battle Force 2000 vehicles did not come with any figures, but each of the six Battle Force 2000 carded figures were assigned to a specific vehicle. Dodger's file card listed him as the Marauder Driver, so he's pictured above in the driver's seat and featured below.
