Quick Draw
Review by The Enthusiast
Quick Draw The Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors story, such as it was, concerned the efforts of Jayce and his band of heroes to thwart the galaxy-dominating ambitions of the Monster Minds, a plant-based gang of baddies led by Saw Boss. Quick draw was a member of Jayce's team.
Quick Draw, like all of the toys, came as a kit of easily assembled parts. Each set consisted of a body with operable cockpit, a chassis, wheels, and assorted weapons, including a unique signature weapon for each vehicle.
Quick Draw's weapon is a giant shield which opens to reveal a gun.
The shield totally obscures the view from the cockpit, which seems problematic for the pilot.
The good guys all came with a small driver (1.5"), minimally articulated.

I have that piece, a couple actually. I just don't know what goes with which beyond the main weapon, so I may miss a few accessories. Same with the wheels. I think I might write up an appendix showing all of the wheel styles and accessories.
Y'know, for some reason, as a kid, I always thought the catapult arm was its main weapon! Ya may wanna take an extra pic of the vehicle with the catapult equipped for completeness...then again, I could just be a picky bastard! ;)
Thanks for the link below, Kent!

Love this line, really, but not enough to buy them all again at the prices they are currently fetching. I had six of the eight vehicles and the base until the early days of eBay.
Fun fact: if year two of this line had made it to retail, the League figures would have been replaced with actual Jayce and the gang figures. There are pics in the Mattel catalog from the year He-Man ended (I was surprised).
And as far as what accessories go with what vehicle, I found a link on Virtual Toy Archive detailing the stuff from the box:

Man, looking at these again makes me want to buy them again. Stack and attack!
Thanks for the link, I thought Armed Force came with 3 sets of wheels but I couldn't picture what the third set looked like.
..but there they are!
Thanks
