Battery powered
toys are always a great addition to any toy line, and just like
the original Mego Micronauts, the Inter-changeables had a few
too. The Cosmic Amphi-Copter, just like the original Mego Hydro
Copter, offered a toy that could be played with just as much
in the water as well as out of it.
These types
of motorized toys were probably a bit more expensive to produce,
thus leading to the use of the cheaper plastic that they were
cast in. The Cosmic Amphi-Copter was also the only IC ship that
sported the often used Mego named "aqua motor" , which
was a simple plastic casing that held an A battery which in
turn turned the gears inside the fuselage . This would spin
the propeller blades and rotate the bubble cockpit that would
move the ship forward. When the paddles were added, they would
rotate as well.
