The toy is made entirely of plastic, and requires decals. Lots of decals. Unfortunately, the decals were of poor quality, and many have begun to peel or have been lost over time. To find a perfect version with good stickers is rare.

Each part of Artillatron has a door that opens up to reveal a space for a Rescue Zord. Each compartment is numbered for the appropriate Zord.

Transformation to the Robot Mode is easy. Simply disconnect the cannons from the rear trailer, separate each trailer, then stack them, largest at the bottom to smallest at the top. Re-attach the arms and pull up the visor on the face. The completed robot can roll across the floor. The Rescue Megazords can be stored inside Artillatron in either mode.

The right arm cannon features opening claws. The arm cannons can be attached and used with the Rescue Megazord to become the Artillery Power barrage.
