Roadblasters

Here are the line of toys called Roadblasters by Matchbox. Roadblasters were released between 1987-88. These were introduced to commemorate 15 years of Atari computers with the release of the computer game with the same name. They are basically normal Matchbox toy cars, modified to include armor and weapons. There were 16 smaller vehicles, 4 larger Superkings playsets, a Run the Gauntlet track, a Monster truck set and an aeroplane set. There were two teams, the good being Turboforce, and the bad being the Motorlords. Thanks to Steven Curry for sending me images and information.
