It should look familiar! Picture it in grey, with a big old claw in the front. That's right, this is a modified copy of the Z-707 Battle Iron Claw RC toy from Radio Shack. You can see they added a new cockpit up front to cover up the hole where the claw was but so much of it is still there. The little side box (blue above) back by the small antenna which is the same shape as the 707's. Even the little discs (yellow above) are in the same spot. Here's a wonderful angled shot of a trackless 707. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/tcimages/23392/generated/img23392_24012008210844_2_1100_.jpg
