This is a review for radio control Crossfire vehicle with it's driver Rumbler. Not advertised in the 1987 G.I. Joe yearly insert, it is an official Hasbro product although made by Nikko in Japan. The vehicle came in two radio control frequencies: 27Mhz and 49 Mhz (which Hasbro marketed as two vehicle versions: Alpha 27 and Delta 49). The figure is not to be confused with the driver of the 1988 Rolling Thunder, who was always incorrectly named Rumbler in the comics.

I love your videos so much, i was careful to let the entire Trivago ad play.

[@KronnangDunn]

We need this one seriously back!!

[@ForenObjex]

I wonder if they included 4 handles on the cannon so that the figures holding onto them had a little extra security, keeping them in place while the RC car was in operation

My rumblers helmet is actually lighter than the dark brown accessory pack version maybe it's a United States thing but I've had multiple helmets and they were all that dark brown except the one on my rumbler maybe it's because mine is a delta 49 version? I'm not to sure but for as old as this vehicle is mine handles well and is extremely fast for it's age! Great review as always and I can't wait for next weeks review

I had this when I was a kid and I remember how this thing just drained batteries quickly.

Hey Kevin, here's a thought; putting the top shell of a GI JOE HAMMER onto a TRAXXAS R/C platform! THAT'S TRUE POWER! ;-)

Excellent review! Loved seeing it in action at the end!

[@Tigerheart01]

I actually owned this toy. Of all my friends I was the only one. ;)

[@davecardoza4762]

As always another great review video on the gi joe toyline. I've never heard about that remote control vehicle before. Where was I when they sold this? Lol I want to know where I might get one in that same condition as yours? Any info will be appreciated.

[@jmsberetta]

cool review

[@affoster79]

I would just leave Rumbler in the driver seat taking him in and out is too scary.

[@JahnoKestt]

Awesome!

[@sgf129]

as much as I loved the rolling thunder vehicle, I always thought it would have been an even more amazing vehicle if it were remote controlled or motorized.

[@Lokicollectables]

so cool

[@danielferstendig]

did u know there is a 2003 version of this vehicle its an rc hover craft.

[@timf7413]

Seems like they really went all out to make this one quality. They could have easily gone with one of the lower quality "toy" RC platforms, but instead this looks like it was top of the line RC quality for the time.

[@fuse557]

In 1987,this is toy quality. I had an Associated RC-10, hobby grade.

Hey formbx257, the main guns may have the (2) positions and (2) sights because one operator controls elevation and the other operator controls horizontal movement of the guns. Before the age of computes, this was a popular aiming configuration for anti-aircraft guns. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bofUo4xoaNBrm80

Aaaaahh Nikko!!! Disappointing kids who expected a real R.C. car for Christmas since the 60's.
