Box contains "Motorized Crimson Attack Tank (C.A.T.)," which was offered as a Sears Exclusive. ©1985 Hasbro. Re-using the MOBAT mold, a motorized tank was produced for Cobra, featuring a black hull and battle turret w/Crimson Guard red main gun, machine gun hatch and road wheels.

Hake's Senior Consignment Manager Mike Bollinger had this to saw about this much yearned for Sears Exclusive, "There's no denying the high play factor a motorized tank has. Look at how popular te G.I. Joe MOBAT is to this day. One can only image the Hasbro marketing meeting where the C.A.T. was dreamt up. 'Cobra should have their own tank. What if we remake the MOBAT, but in black?' Eureka. Instant hit."

At time of cataloging, only eight factory-sealed examples in total have been graded by AFA according to current AFA Population Report, w/only five examples in an AFA 80 grade (just two higher). This is the first AFA-graded sealed example of this iconic and much sought after Cobra vehicle to ever come to auction. Russell Branton Collection.
