NOTE: Although the box art showed a dozen Joes, a Triple-T, and a captured Cobra Commander only Steam-Roller was included.
An unobscured version of the box art was re-printed in the 1989 Calendar by Landmark.
The 1989 Calendar by Landmark also featured an alternate Mobile Command Center painting depicting an all out Cobra assault.
The Mobile Command Center features several moving parts and the sculpt is nicely detailed.

Creator Commentary
Guy Cassaday (Vehicle Designer) discuss the normal production timeline for a G.I.Joe item (2 years). The Mobile Command Center went long (3 years). The model build was extremely challenging (taking 12 weeks). Frank Coroneos came onboard toward the end of the design phase and helped finish off the accessories. "It was too big for one person." Guy also reveals some easter eggs on the decals.
