Normally, I don't get into action figures, but I got this one "accidentally", and I actually like the little guy. As you can see, it is not as painted as the packaging would have you believe. The cockpit hatch, CPC, and the tail caps should be painted gray/silver, but they are not. One set of breakers can open and close, while the other set act as missiles. They can also rotate up and down. The picture on the card had him reared up like this, almost in the old upright tyranno mode. The legs and arms and tail are posable, and the lower jaw can open a little. The "head spear" can move too. The action figures come with prepainted pilot figures. I can't tell who the heck this is supposed to be. Surely not Raven. An 80s hair metal singer, maybe? I think the backpack/breakers are a little too big for the dino, so I leave them off. I think he looks pretty good this way. Also, the frills/spear combo reminds of a cockatiel, and how much I want a real cockatiel... Here he is next to his papa, for a size comparison. To summarize, it's a nice little fella, but I would have liked to pay less than 10GBP for it (with shipping the total was $30US!). Lesson: if you see an auction for a breaker, and the gallery pic is of the model kit, LET THE REST OF THE IMAGES LOAD BEFORE HITTING BUY IT NOW!

Wow.. The pilot looks like he is in really bad pain.

Mmm.. he looks pretty nice actually. I bet the Breaker Unit might look very nice on some other smaller Zoids. Docker, could you try some simulated poses using this smaller Breaker Unit on some regular Zoids.. say Konig Wolf?

Wow.. The pilot looks like he is in really bad pain. I'm not surprised. You try standing up all day inside a cockpit whilst being antagonist-y. It's a shame one of the breakers is ruined by that crappy missile launcher. Is it possible to buy 2 and make a fully-breaker one?

Docker, could you try some simulated poses using this smaller Breaker Unit on some regular Zoids.. say Konig Wolf? My K-woof is in storage! I think it might be too small for him anyway. I could see if it could fit on a command woof. Somehow. On this guy, the hardpoints are all on the actual accessories! Also the breakers themselves are just on long pegs, no nifty arms. An enterprising darth could probably work something out. (Was there a K-woof action fig?) Is it possible to buy 2 and make a fully-breaker one? Yeah, the actual breakers are detachable and symmetrical. But the only place I've seen to get this guy is toy-trader-uk, who overcharges (as Jaff and I can attest), so that'd be a pricey little fig.

There wasn't a konig action figure.
Ooooh! Oooh! I have a cockatiel, want him? He's charmingly chattery, can say a few words and is a nice, mellow older male...

I have one too.. He kind of rules the house... If you don't do what he wants, he flies over to you and bites the living hell out of your limbs.. That's why we must keep the cage closed at all times.
He might eat your cat, Docker.. I suggest you destroy the bird when he finishes flying to your house...

we have 2 cats, and have had them for years. They're both surviving well They always look eager to eat him, but Moe can hold his own. Something about food that talks back bothers them to no end... I watched one of our past cats stalk up to the cage, then the bird suddenly burst out with "Hello!" and the cat took off in terror and never tried it again.

That's supposed to be...Vega or Raven? But I think your theory is closer.
You make me want to take lots of pics of the Battle Cougar action figure, which is actually pretty darn cool (and more poseable than the real thing).
