Additional Images:
Pictured above is a prototype version of Heavy
Duty (1993) as the figure appeared in a Hasbro product catalog.
Note the extensive use of metallic paints and the lack of a visor on
the helmet. Also, the missile used is a painted version of one that
came with Heavy Duty (1991).
Pictured above is the silhouette of Heavy
Duty as the figure appeared in the 1993 yearly insert catalog. The
1993 catalog used several silhouettes as placeholders for figures to
come. The Armor Tech images appear to be silhouettes of production art
rather than of actual figures. However, the description that accompanied
these images gave some indication of features that were dropped before
production. Originally referred to as the "Star Brigade Fighters"
rather than "Star Brigade Armor Tech," each figure was intended
to feature body-activated lights and sounds as well as spring-fired
weapons.
