>>11515554>The original toy looked like that.As someone who owned the original toy, I can confirm that it did - ON ITS REAR. The sloped part is the blast shield for the front of the tank, so the cockpit was actually supposed to be on the back and was only visible if you were looking at the tank from directly behind; what's more, it didn't actually extend as far forward as it does on the new one, so it wasn't quite as obtrusive.
>The animation model was based on the toy.Yes, but it was an animation error - they were looking at the toy backwards. His turret should have been the other way around.
