1985 Transportable Tactical Battle Platform

The Transportable Tactical Battle Platform can be flown into hot-spots by four Dragonflies, to defend land or sea from the evils of Cobra!

NOTE: Although the box art showed the Sky Hawk, Armadillo, S.H.A.R.C. and several Joes manning the 
Tactical Battle Platform, none were included with the set.

Hasbro pointed this out on the front of the box with a product photo and this text: "Contents as shown. Figures and vehicles sold separately."
