Several of the Attack Pack vehicles are easy to identify, since they are marked "Attack Pack", and some even "Hot Wheels" and also have a round symbol (except for the original series of cars and the repaints of those, and the Big Ones and Biggest Ones) with a hand doing a thumps up or a scary face with fangs, respresenting the Heroic Cat Pack team or Evil Rat Pack team. Also they're all marked with "Mattel 1992", "1993" or "1994" (the years don't necessarily represent the year it was actually released though).

As far as I know there was no cartoon or comics or anything like that about the Attack Packs, but the back of the US boxes reveal information about each of the vehicles aswell as the story of Attack Pack. There were however some other merchandise made, like wristwatches (other than the ones pictured on the site, without an Attack Pack vehicle attached to it).

Some of the Attack Packs were released as repaints of the same shape of vehicle. The "Dinosaurs" were differently painted in Europe and the USA. But there are also other, more accidental variants and variations of colors, like "Maggot Mouth" and "Tankasaurus Rex". Plus a couple of unreleased ones, one which made it all the way to a collector. That collector also told me that there probably is a wristwatch of "Slaughterjaws" aswell. So, all in all with the repaints, variations, McDonalds, prototypes, wire-controlled, and wristwatches, the total amount of so far known vehicles should come to 58.

There were plenty of bootlegs of these toys aswell. I had two. One purple that you would push down and close the mouth on, which would load it and send it speeding away while opening it's mouth. And an almost exact copy Rip Rat, but bigger and with different colors, I think it ran on batteries. There are also some other Mattel toy cars around, also called "Hot Wheels Attack Pack" released in the year 2000, which apparently have nothing else in common with these monster cars. And also Mattel has re-used their ideas for some of the Attack Pack vehicles in a new very similar line called "Road Beasts", and also the name "Road Beasts" were re-used by Mattel on vehicles that had nothing to do with that line. Other similar toylines are (Jayce and) the "Wheeled Warriors", which was also made by Mattel and consisted of some monster vehicles.

I will continue to update this site as long as I have something more to add. And hopefully I'll learn some more about the Attack Pack series, as well as introduce others to the Attack Pack line and help you to identify your vehicles. Any collectors out there who are willing to contribute with some info or pictures? Maybe you have some Attack Pack or info that isn't featured here? Or if you have any Attack Packs for sale that I don't have (I only have the ones with red background in the picture) let me know.
