Republic MCC (aka GI Joe Sandcrawler)

Dark Lord of the Typos
I recently acquired a GI Joe Mobile Command Center (MCC). :) I first saw one of these at a comic shop in Houston a couple years ago and immediately knew it belonged on a clone wars battlefield. :D It was produced by Hasbro in 1987, and somehow I'd never seen one before (despite having many GI Joe toy pamphlets from that era).

This one I bought 100% complete with driver and instructions (no box) on ebay for about teh same price as an Endor AT-AT. It opens up into a three-tiered base, similar to a tackle box. I has a lower bay/maintenence facility. Second floor is a command center (check out the echo base style radar panel)with 2 fold-down bunks and a prison cell. Top level is a missile launcher and heli-pad.

I printed out some SW-style labels to hide the blatant GI JOE stickers...although I left the red white and blue stripes. I jsut glued them on with elmers glue...avoiding the stickers underneath...which can be easily removed and cleaned at a future time if desired.
