Megaforce is an action film made in 1982 directed by former stuntman Hal Needham. Mattel released a special series of Hot Wheels cars that corresponded to the movie that same year; all were made in Hong Kong. The vehicles in the movie were designed in collaboration with Mattel. Only the Megadestroyer castings were actually new; the rest were either retooled or repurposed from previous releases. All castings with the exception of the Tac-Com would see further rereleases under different names. All castings feature copyright information pertaining to a "North Shore Investments, Ltd."
Not to be confused with the 2013 season of Power Rangers, Power Rangers Megaforce, which had its own Hot Wheels line of Character Cars.
