Mutt is a complete natural with animals. Once he is able to truly connect with the trained dogs, he very much only needs the barest of commands for them to do his bidding. This ability has come to the point where it has become more easier for other people to get along with his dog trainees than it is with him. This trait of his was honed since he was a child growing up surrounded with many pets. At one point, he even foiled a burglary by being able to keep his pet dogs from revealing their presence to the intruder until the crook was completely surrounded.
Of all the dogs he has trained over the years, Junkyard is the one who he has connected to with the most. Together, Mutt proves he's not man's best friend but dogs'.

Accessories: black goggled helmet (with or without holes); black airmask; black Mac-11 machine pistol with silencer; black baton with small strap; smooth, black leash; black dog with brown belly, named Junkyard. Variations: The brown paint on Junkyard's belly varied in thickness. In the 1984 catalog and commercials, Mutt's handheld accessories were light green. |

The original Mutt mold was re-used for the Slaughter's Marauders set of 1989. Like the other figures of that set, he also had a blue and green color scheme. Appearance: brown hair and mustache; open-collared, short-sleeved shirt striped brown and yellow-green; blue vest; pants striped dark green, yellow-green, dark green, and brown; black belt, boots, and glove on left hand Accessories: all the same accessories as the previous release, done in solid black; even Junkyard's brown belly was now black |

A new Mutt action figure is developed for the Drug Elimination Force set. All the D.E.F. action figures included a special spring-loaded launcher which lights up when fired. |
| Battle Corps (1993)
The 1992 Mutt mold is re-used for the Battle Corps version but with an altogether different color scheme. This was to be part of the second wave of D.E.F. action figures which never came to be. He came with a spring-loaded missile launcher which is a different design from the D.E.F. pack. |

| Anti-Venom Task Force (2004)
The original action figure mold from 1984 is re-used for the Toys R Us exclusive pack, the Anti-Venom Task Force. The file card makes no mention the dog being Junkyard II. |
