Toys R Us is selling a line of die-cast military vehicles under the name of "True Heroes". I saw two different packs so picked up one of each. They were $6.99 USD each. Some of them used the same body for different uses. The canvas back can be removed – I just didn't put it back right for the pic but it does sit straight IRL All the weapons are moveable so any wonky positions of the turrets are me not posing them for the shots I am looking forward to painting a few of these up and seeing how they look with a proper paint job.

You got all those vehicles out of two packs?

I forgot to jot down the mix but I got the 10 total vehicles in two 5 packs. It was two tanks per package and only one of each base body was in a package. So the fuel tanker from the first three pics was in one package and the transport in the other. Same with the AA and Transport halftracks in pic 4

ZULUPAUL, How did you use or convert them? I am looking to scifi up the tanks and would love to see others takes on them.

The dozer could figure in many modern and sci-fi scenarios, and you could add armor and weapons to create "home-made" armored vehicles for rebels, freedom fighters, striking miners, etc. Nice find!
