Fun Facts

​

Iron Grenadiers Vehicle

The A.G.P. is one of the vehicles associated with Destro's Iron Grenadiers, giving it a distinctive black-and-metallic futuristic appearance.

​

Nullifier's Ride

The A.G.P. originally came with Nullifier, the Iron Grenadiers' dedicated pilot. For collectors, having the original Nullifier significantly increases the appeal of a complete set.

​

Unusual Design

The A.G.P. has a very distinctive science-fiction appearance. Its unusual shape and exposed side thrusters make it look more like a spacecraft than a conventional military aircraft.

​

Prototype History

A hand-built Hasbro A.G.P. prototype was sold at auction for $885 in 2017, showing the significant collector interest in production prototypes.

​

Easy to Find — Hard to Find Complete

The A.G.P. itself isn't particularly rare, but finding one with all accessories in excellent condition can be more difficult. The missiles, engine coupling and clear canopy are particular areas collectors should check carefully.
