Toy robot, transforming into the likeness of a futuristic tank, made from die-cast metal and injection-moulded dark blue and silver plastic (probably ABS). Areas of the plastic are painted to express more detail: the face and the chest; there are printed paper stickers at the knees. When in vehicle mode, the toy can be propelled along on four small plastic wheels. With the figure is a double-barrelled gun, made from silver plastic. This can be fitted into the figure's hand in robot mode, or into holes in the soles of its feet in tank mode. There is also a triple-barrelled turret, which fits into the toy's back in tank mode.
With the toy is its packaging, consisting of a printed card back and transparent plastic blister.
