Stompers (toy)

Stompers are battery-powered toy cars that use a single AA battery and feature four-wheel drive.

Five new Stomper trucks were released in 1981: the Chevrolet LUV, Datsun Li'l Hustler, Jeep Renegade, Subaru BRAT, and Toyota SR5.

debuted in 1982, consisting of the AMC (American Motors) SX/4, two Chevrolets (van and 1956 Nomad), Jeep CJ, Subaru hatchback, and Volkswagen Baja Bug.

The Work x4s also debuted in 1982; these were Ford C-Series trucks with bucket-lift, cement-mixer, dumper, and wrecker bodies.

New Road Rods were "inspired by souped-up versions of today's most popular customized vehicles."

The semis were renamed Road Kings and joined by Heavy Haulers, with wreckers or dump bodies.

The Wilderness Campers came with a trailer as standard and added a power take-off winch, and were renamed Workhorses.

Several new play sets were added, for both the Stomper II and Mobile Force lines, and two vehicles were dropped from the Road Rods line; these were repackaged into the Custom Kit and Deluxe Custom kit, allowing children to build a Stomper themselves.

Also new were the Speedsters, sports cars with steerable wheels and their own special track, and Zanees, which features huge engines that shook and made noise.

The rest of the line continued largely unchanged, though the Competition Pull Set was dropped.

Water Demons, Speedsters, 4x4s, Mini 4x4s, and All-Terrain Vehicles continued, as did the larger Stomper Bully monster truck.

New models included a military line called Stormers, Earthquake Alley and Authentic.

New models included Road Kill, Work Force, Battle Ready, X-Treme Street.
