Discover the real-life inspiration for the M270 MLRS brick set

A powerful rocket artillery system

The M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) is an American armored, tracked rocket launcher designed to provide ground forces with significant firepower at long ranges.

Development of the MLRS system began in the late 1970s. Following prototype testing, the design by Vought—later associated with Lockheed Martin - was selected. The first production M270 entered service with the U.S. Army in 1983.

Tracked chassis and armored cabin

The M270 utilizes a tracked chassis based on the Bradley vehicle family. An armored crew cabin is located at the front, while the rear features the rotating launcher assembly.

Key design features:

• tracked chassis ensuring off-road mobility
• armored crew cabin
• rotating launcher
• two interchangeable M269 modules
• 12 rockets (227 mm caliber) in the standard configuration

The distinctive rectangular rocket pods are among the most recognizable elements of the M270's silhouette.

Design details of the COBI brick model

M270 MLRS under official Lockheed Martin license

The model was created under an official Lockheed Martin license, highlighting its connection to the original M270 MLRS system.

The vehicle's distinctive proportions, cabin design, tracked chassis and massive launcher module create the recognizable silhouette of one of the most famous modern rocket launchers.

The 1:35 scale allows for a combination of high detail and functional features suitable for both play and display in a collection.

A unique new feature! Show the moment of rocket launch!

One of the set's most impressive features is the ability to display the M270 at the exact moment of a rocket launch.

The model includes an M26 MLRS rocket that can be positioned at the launcher in a launch configuration. Combined with elements simulating the exhaust flame, it creates one of the most striking visual features of the entire build.

This allows the model to be displayed in two ways: as an M270 ready to fire and as a dynamic scene depicting the moment an M26 rocket is launched.

This feature gives the model a whole new character, ensuring that even a static display looks like a moment of action frozen in time.

Movable launcher

The launcher assembly is not a fixed part. Its position can be adjusted, allowing for various display configurations.

You can:

• set the launcher to the transport position
• raise it to the combat position
• adjust its orientation
• set up a "ready-to-fire" scene
• show the moment of rocket launch

The launcher's functionality greatly enhances playability and the potential for creating impressive displays.

Movable tracks and opening doors

The model features a functional track system. The movable tracks allow the heavy vehicle to roll across various surfaces while also reflecting the design and construction of the real M270, whose tracked chassis allows it to traverse difficult terrain.

The model features opening doors, adding functionality to the design and allowing for even more engaging use of the included figure.

M270 crew member figure

The set is complemented by a figure of an American soldier—a crew member of the M270 MLRS system.

The figure is equipped with, among other things:

• an accurately reproduced American uniform
• a helmet
• protective goggles
• an M4 carbine

The figure helps convey the scale of the powerful launcher and allows for the creation of scenes inspired by the modern operations of rocket artillery units.

Collector's plaque

The set also includes an information plaque dedicated to the model. It is a practical addition for collectors, allowing the display to be complemented with key details about the model: its name, scale, the manufacturer's logo and the US flag.

No stickers – only durable prints

The model features high-quality prints applied directly to the bricks.

This means:

• no need for stickers
• aesthetically pleasing reproduction of markings
• high abrasion resistance of the prints
• durability during play and display

As a result, the model retains its attractive appearance even after repeated use.
