Where's this buggy from? (image testing post)

Testing to see what attached files do before I add pictures to DB posts.

But while I'm at it, not diecast metal, but anyone know what these attack buggies are from? They're plastic with rubber tires and a spring launch tube in the back kind of like Key Cars have, just round instead of square. I've gathered 4 of them now, but never seen them with a launcher or carrier type vehicle. There's no text on them and they're held together with a single small philips screw.

Google image search hasn't gotten me anywhere, even using my image for similar pictures.

Testing is always a good thing ... The forum named "Service Counter" Or "All Other Brands Of Diecast/General Diecast Discussion" is a great place for posting pics and or related questions. The "Free Parking Off Topic" forum is sweet to escape from all of that.

Hope this helps

Oops yeah. It was foremost an upload test, but I should have thought to to in the service area. The question was incidental and I definitely would have just posted there for that if it was the primary reason. If one of the mods want to nuke (or move) this feel free as I figured out the picture question and I can remake an ID thread later.

The wheels aren't anything I'm familiar with. I wonder if a body fit over top? I know Mbx had a series of models converted from their regular line with all kinds of add-ons, Road Blasters or something, but the base models are fairly easy to recognize because of the modifications. If a body fit over this, it could be anything and I really could only guess. There are only a couple models from the Road Blasters I have any experience with, none are like this. HW had similar, sort of, in the mainline, like the modified Mustang II with a cannon through the windshield. I'm purely guessing it may be from someone like Hasbro, Ideal or Kenner...but what exactly I don't know.

There's no place where anything looks to clamp on, just the spring and tube bit in the back that would slip onto a launcher sort of like a key car. It's also all plastic except for the axles, spring, and screw. I'm really expecting this to be from some little toy military set, I'm pretty sure it isn't traditional diecast related. Just hoping someone might know, aside from the picture test.

I know of the MB line you're talking about as I have the really beat up Datsun Z. There's also the MB ones where the body comes off and there's a little robot inside, as well as that HW line that was robots that turned into car bodies that had a sort of frame sled with the wheels and chassis. Thanks for considering though. :)

I had a quick search just in case, but pretty sure no. It's too small and delicate for a toy for small children. It would be easy to break off one of those guns and swallow it. There would be some sort of McD copyright info on it too. There's absolutely no text on it anywhere.

Thanks for participating in the brainstorming though.
