Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.

Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.

The base of this creation is a pushback tug used in the airport. They adapted it for trailers.

Ha! I thought that's what it was.

wow, I haven't thought about that show in decades. it was awesome

nslatz OP ,

I wonder if it would be as good today as a rematch, might be better left in our memories.

Damn, I missed that show but for some reason this makes me think of a live action version of the cartoon M.A.S.K.

I bought M.A.S.K. on streaming to share it with my kids. It did not live up to my memories.

stanleytweedle ,

Not many shows or movies do. Rare exceptions for me are Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Sadly, most 80s cartoons sucked, but the toys were, and are still, outstanding. That's probably why we attach such good memories to watching the show along with our buddies Sly Rax and Hondo McLean.

nslatz OP ,

The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.

Damn, proper blast from the past. Had completely forgotten about the M..A.S.K toys I had when I was 3 or 4 until I read your comment, just looked them up on wiki.

Our parents could only remember their toys (unless somehow kept some), cool that we can just look it up online and see a full size image.
