Small Trak MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection Concept

The talented yerco_ub has followed up his epic 3D model of the Filmation Attak Trak with the smaller vehicle that resembles the Vintage MOTU Attak Trak dubbed the Small Trak! Yerco has designed pretty much all of the The Mattel’s Eternia’s Choice Fan Vote crodfunding projects except for the Snake Lair, which won by a landslide in our unofficial vote and took 1st place in Matte’s official vote. He has created Horde’s Doom Tower, Filmation Attak Trak, the Horde Command Crawler. The next project we are featuring is Yerco’s Filmation inspired Small Trak.

Small Trak

According to the Battle Ram Blog (best resource for MOTU history but you already knew that), there was a MOTU vintage toy accurate version called the Small Trak that made a cameo in the Evilseed episode. Speaking of the Small Trak, here are the vintage illustrations in case Yerco gets inspired and makes this little guy as an add on to the Filmation Attak Trak. here is the version of the Attak Trak as it appears in Evilseed, and is referred to as the Small Trak.

This vehicle’s design is more in line with the Attak Trak toy, with only one seat and no canopy, than the large transport vehicle capable of carrying whole squads. Nevertheless, the Small Trak is also colored blue like the Filmation Attak Trak, rather than the toy’s original red.

Small Trak Concept

We love hearing from the creators and, in Yerco’s own words, he says, “Fans of “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” will instantly recognize this iconic vehicle! Drawing inspiration from the episode “Evilseed”, I present to you a faithful 3D recreation of the “Small Trak,” a variant of the legendary Attak Trak. While the Small Trak design closely mirrors the Attak Trak toy with its singular seat and lack of a canopy, this model boasts the blue coloring reminiscent of the Filmation Attak Trak, diverging from the toy’s original red.”

He goes on to say, “Whether you’re an avid collector, a fan of the series, or simply appreciate intricate 3D designs, this model is bound to impress. Relive the adventures of Eternia with this remarkable piece, and let the power of Grayskull guide your collection to new heights!” Some key features to note:

• Designed for compatibility with “Origins” style figures.
• Wheels rotate true to the Filmation series.
• Best of all? It fits snugly within the larger Attak Trak!

Attak Trak

You can’t mention the Small Trak without mentioning the other vehicle that nests within it! Here are some early illustrations of the Filmation cartoon version of the Attak Trak.

The Attak Trak has been featured in the Masters of the Universe cartoons many times. Although it looked different that it’s toy version in the Filmation cartoon, that Attak Trak was a character all it’s own as it spoke and respond to He-Man and the gang in it’s robotic voice! Released in 1983, Mattel’s battery powered motorized version of the Attak Trak did not resemble the one in the cartoon.

This version of the Attak Trak featured similar motorized tank treads to that of the cartoon, but that is where the similarities ended. It held only 1 figure that was strapped down with it’s rubber band like seat belt and was a bright red color and beautiful blue accented stickers! Featured in many famous Masters of the Universe Art posters, that Attak Trak is was beautiful illustrated making it a very popular vehicle! It is one of my personal favorites, (pictured below) as I still own a fully functional working version! I just love watching those treads spin around and making that thing run across the room with He-Man strapped in the seat!

Long before Mattel conceived of their Eternia’s Choice Fan Vote, Yerco had these plans 3D designed and printer ready back in September 2022. Looking at the vintage illustrations, Yerco has designed the perfect Filmation Attak Trak complete with a twin gun turret, pink/red treads, and and the yellow markings we all know and love. The Toy Sorceress affectionally call this version He-Man’s version of the Mystery Machine.

Looking at the interior, it looks like there is ample room for a Small Trak vehicle to stow in the body of the Attak Trak, complete with treads on the floor and door so the Small Trak has easy access and can move about the cabin if need be as the rear door folds down to become a ramp.

Interior has the look and feel of one of Duncan’s great inventions, from the piping running along the length of the interior to the futuristic looking dashboard.

Yerco even designed the seats to move back and forth on their own trak (or track ?), making this vehicle versatile and fun!

Speaking of fun, not only is this big boi huge but it also rolls exactly as depicted in the Filmation cartoon.

To get a sense of the scale, Yerco has positioned some of Skeletor’s and King Hiss’ henchman to thwart He-Man and Man-At-Arms plans!

In another scene, Webstor and Scoprpia (MOTU custom) have disrupted Prince Adam, Man-At-Arms, and Adora (MOTU custom) joy ride through Eternia.
