I don't know if anyone else remembers M.A.S.K. but I was all about it when it came out (1985-ish, I think). There were a bunch of different vehicles that transformed from one thing to another.

I asked my Dad for a Uboat for Christmas, and he got me this one, (crew not included).
We and mt 10 year old friends had a lot of fun tooling around Waikiki. WE would anchor a mile off shore and pull shoot ourselves on our surfboards out of the torpedo tubes. Ahh, those were the days when a boy and his toys could have a swell time.
