About

Take to the streets or take to the skies. Because Action Fighter is the incredible, transformable combat vehicle.

You start out on a customized cycle. Built with enough speed and power to jump over water and overtake enemies. Then, by finding the right parts along the way, you'll change your cycle into a supercharged, state-of-the-art sports car. Next, add two turbojets to make your car airborne. And take to the skies. Down hyped-up helicopters and jet spaceships from above.

And no matter which vehicle you're manning- or who you're after- get ready to stand by for action!
