Was this set supposed to be integrated into other sets at the time, or is it a lazy multi-build?
Cool. More pneumatic tanks!
@Kynareth it was a supplement for 8466 4x4 Off-Roader
I happen to have this with box and instructions...really fun set and yes, @Kynareth, it was an extension set for the brutal 8466 off-roader to make it more complete. The instructions of 8466 even includes the implementation of 5218 pneumatic set pieces so you can build a nice tow truck. The two sets look very delicious together: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6107610
I have this set! Got it when I was big into Mindstorms 1.0 and my parents were buying me all kinds of "advanced" sets along those lines. It doesn't do much except grab and move up and down, but it's still kind of neat.
Ooo, that looks fun! Always nice to have new ways to mess around with Technic.
At first glance it looked like ZNAP.
