Over the years Mattel filed for patents on a number of Masters of the Universe-related ideas. The language employed is rather difficult to get through, but the illustrations are a lot of fun. I’ve collected some of them here. Special thanks to Manic Man for locating several of these patents, including Blast Attak, Rotar/Twistoid and Gyrattacker! Update: I’ve uploaded each set of patent illustrations as Imgur posts, and am now linking those images offsite.

Included illustrations:

• Attak Trak
• Castle Grayskull (trap door)
• Bashasaurus
• Battle Armor He-Man
• Battle Bones
• Blast Attak
• Dragon Walker
• Fright Zone

• Gyrattacker (unreleased vehicle)
• Horde Trooper
