How to identify the E2 color changer
Look for the green Command Tank color-changing finish and compare its markings and package to the E2 entry. The Hot Wheels Newsletter lists it as a 1995 Malaysia-made issue; no toy number is included in that record.
Color alone can be misleading on a color-changing toy. Its current hue depends on temperature, so use the series and package along with the casting details.
Physical details
The Command Tank uses the familiar low tracked body, small concealed wheels, rotating turret and long gun. The E2 version is distinguished by its green color-changing finish. Check the turret and cannon for damage, and examine the finish in a stable room temperature before comparing color.
Packaging details
The 1995 Color Changer listing identifies the model as Command Tank E2 and gives Malaysia as the country of manufacture. A toy number is not shown. The package is the most useful companion to a loose example when confirming the color-changing issue.

Condition and completeness
Inspect the cannon, turret mount and body edges for wear. Color-changing paint should be checked at a consistent temperature; record the observed color state separately from the release identity. If the original package is present, retain it with the toy’s record.
Value Research
Compare this E2 color changer with other E2 listings and similar-condition examples, not with flat-green Action Command versions. Confirm the series and package before comparing completed sales, and assess the casting and packaging separately.
