Masters of the Universe War Whale


The 200X Masters of the Universe toy line had many new vehicles, none of which became iconic within the fandom as the memorable vintage ones such as Attack Track, Battle Ram or Roton but there were still some quite unique and interesting new vehicle designs. The War Whale in particular, being one of the only water based seafaring vehicles in the franchise to get a toy. 

When rolled along the ground the flippers on the side of the vehicle flap up and down, as does the tail while the mouth opens and closes. The vehicle also has an impressive arsenal of weapons with a gun mounted on the handle bars, a missile launcher either side on each fin and another in the mouth. 

Though there were quite a few sea based episodes of the series, only one episode of the cartoon actually featured the War Whale, The Mystery of Anwat Gar. He-man and Man-At-Arms are seen riding one each on their way to the island of Anwat Gar. A rather brief appearance that doesn't get an action scene to show off the multiple missile launchers incorporated into the design. 




The only other appearance the vehicle has made is in the Dark Horse Comics Andra One Shot. Set in continuity with the Revelations/Revolution cartoon, this comic sees Andra travel to Orkas Island where she reunites with her grandfather Dekker to battle Count Marzo.
