GIJOE vs Transformers SHOCKWAVE HISS TANK SDCC 2012 Exclusive

A special thanks goes out to Hasbro and HPR for sending us a review copy of the soon to be released SDCC 2012 SHOCKWAVE HISS TANK with Decepticon Destro and Devastator B.A.T.!

In the 1980's Marvel Comics produced a four-comic series that told the story of GIJOE and Cobra discovering the existence of the Transformers. This special series briefly brought together these two epic worlds and chronicled the dramatic consequences of this discovery. First there was the "lost episode #5" and now.... The legacy of this meeting continues as the two forces join together again in this exclusive SHOCKWAVE HISS TANK!

Included on the back of the box is one page of comic art that explains the SHOCKWAVE HISS TANK!

Two villains make a dark deal to further their own evil plans....

Destro: Here's the energon you want, Shockwave. Now give me the cash you owe me.

Shockwave scans the H.I.S.S. Tank blueprints as Destro looks on.

Shockwave: Together we will rebuild power station Alpha and take control of the world.

Soundwave in Alt-Mode: Unknown to the two villains, Soundwave is recording this meeting.

Purple looks great, plus the little Soundwave. I will try.
GreednGluttony
if only i liked gi joe
SlaveToLogic
Anyone want to pick this up for me?

I'd pay before the SDCC depending on Feedback.

I love this thing!

Anyone who doesn't want the Cobra BATs, I'll take em!

Why wouldn't I want this thing? So cool!
TylerMirage
That HISS thank is pretty awesome. It would be so cool if it was actually a transforming figure.
Shatterpoint
This is the second Shockwave to bee seen this week that has made sweet love to my eyes.
Jigga
That's looking pimp
puma
WANT!!
CrackerBoy
I really wish they transformed.
Scaleface
Now Hasbro or some third party needs to get to work on a TRANSFORMING version of Cobra Shockwave.
Desecrator
This might have to be the first G.I. Joe i ever buy...
netkid
Wonder if anyone is brave enough to slice this thing up and make a transforming robot from it.
militaryman516
awesome

That person should be Hasbro. Until the do in a human alliance type TF/JOE crossover that actually transforms i wont pick any of these up. Love the concept you have there tho.

That thing was thrown together in 5 minutes a while ago. I posted it on Hisstank before since another guy took the SDCC Starsacream and made it Transformable: Custom Transforming G.I. Joe Skystriker Decepticon Starscream - Page 2 - GI Joe News

Nobody said anything of it, but I sure hope some skilled (and brave) customizer takes this SDCC Shockwave and makes it a functional transformer.

As for Joe/Transformer Crossover toys, I sure hope we do see transforming ones some day. I heard the DOTM Human Alliance basics were a sort of "testbed" for them but since those didn't seem to sell very well, I think the future chances of such a toy line may seem dim.

I honestly think they should just make deluxe-voyager sized Joe/Transformer crossover toys that go from iconic Joe vehicle to iconic Transformer character and follow the early Star Wars Transformers by including a micro-sized pilot of an iconic Joe character. That's basically what folks have been wanting.

same here,
but well, it's Shockwave after all, so it's a must have
seem big enough, i think i'll have to prepare a additionnal shelve on my shockwave collection

That Starcream is pretty tight. I'm very impressed someone actually pulled that off.

I would kill for a voyager line like that, but the only way I see that happening is 3rd party maybe. The star wars formula sounds like a good idea.

As for Joe/Transformer Crossover toys, I think the better testbed would have been to make those HA guys Joe characters, paint the vehicles with more classic Joe colors with some nice crossover packaging (HA scouts I'm referring to). Wouldn't mind seeing that at the next botcon.
Superquad7
I'd like to have one. I just wished it was the prior version of the Hiss Tank.

And that it transformed, of course

Also, major props on the fantastic photo set
WarConvoy
Ya Too Bad the HISS Tank did not transform
Emperor Zarak
I soooooooooo want that, a FOC Poster, and the bruticus. CURSE YOU EMPTY WALLET/ACCOUNT!
Acidophilus
Cool. Now I hope someone will review the SDCC FOC Bruticus set soon as well.
AU Chevy
I like this, but it needs to be based on the original hiss tank.
Blitz.
if I had the cash I'd buy a set.

Seems legit.
SPLIT LIP
It'd be cool if Shockwave's art had tank parts to make it look like he actually transformed into it. Like those treads would make awesome legs.
warriorpriest
HAHAHA The BATS look like they belong on the G2 shelf. LOL!!

Love the tank.
Xenomrph
Does anyone know what Baroness figure that is in a couple of the pictures? I don't recognize it. Thanks!

Just repainting wouldn't cut it. It'd have to be actual G.I.Joe vehicles, and not shitty movie TF toys. That's what hurt the HA line more than anything.
Xzbit
damn this looks pretty cool.

It's the one from this set: 25th Anniversary Battle Pack - COBRA #3
C.I.A.D.
I seriously cannot wait to add this to my collection. The box is going to look great next to last year's Starstriker box.
Shadow Convoy
any ideas when this will be available on hts?
Infosaur
Awwwww! It doesn't TRANSFORM! D'Oh!
Omegax80
I look at these so-called "pre-order" eBay listings... whoever has that much money to spend nearly triple the retail value to get these exclusives, give me a call, I have some charities who could use some money too...

If the con is from the 12th to the 15th, my guess would be the 16th or 17th.
CommandoNinja13
These would go great with a Shockwave figure.
Cadbane
Although it doesn't transform, I want to find a spot for it on my shelf.
Composite Ghost
Just checked eBay to see what the going rate is. Not a single buy it now under $150. This scalping is really getting out of hand. Yeah of course they need to make a profit, but they don't have to be dicks about it.
