Description:
The Killer WHALE (Warrior: Hovering Assault Launch Envoy) was first released boxed in U.S. toy stores in 1984. It included the pilot, Cutter. The WHALE was also sold in 1985 and was discontinued in 1986.
In 1992 and 1993, the WHALE (without driver) was available as a mail-in offer from Hasbro Direct.
The mold was re-used in 1988 to create the Night Striker.
Variants:
The landing ramp for the one-man sled was changed several times. The first version of the WHALE had a solid door - this version may not have reached stores and may only have been seen in prototypes and publicity photos. The next version featured a large notch at the top of the launch door but still had a problem with breaking. A third design was used with the Night Striker and with mail-in versions of the WHALE.
