Interesting Facts
The Data Matrix code on the bottom of the box (shown in the image) can be scanned to identify the figure inside without opening the box (114S6 indicates this specific figure).

Best displayed alongside original 1990 M-Tron sets or in a Series 26 dedicated frame. The trans-neon green visor pops best under UV or bright LED lighting.

The grabber-arm assembly uses standard Technic/System parts and can be easily modified or attached to larger M-Tron MOCs.

A Must-Buy for fans of 90s nostalgia. It provides excellent value and modern printing quality for a classic character design.
