| W.O.R.M.S. are self-propelled artillery specialists of the Cobra ground forces and are cross-trained within their blanket specialty. Any single W.O.R.M.S. can man any position on a Maggot, be it driver, gunner, loader, or diesel mechanic. Under optimum conditions, a Maggot is manned by a crew of four: commander, driver, gunner, and loader. Under battle conditions, it is possible for a Maggot to stay in action, maintaining its fire-capability with its crew reduced to two. "A battery of Maggots can receive target information from a central fire control vehicle and is capable of firing guided and brilliant munitions, some of which are ECM resistant, fire-and-forget, self-targeting and proximity fuzed HEAT rounds. A Maggot's crew doesn't have to think too hard, which is why the only requirement for being a W.O.R.M.S. is the ability to walk while holding a bogie wheel under one arm and a 155mm shell under the other." | |
| Toy Notes: Item #6029. The prototype shown in the 1987 insert catalog and Maggot commercial has eye-holes cut in the helmet. | |
