I think I see what you mean. The trends lately for robots have been for function over form, or at least more fluid dynamic machines like the cycle armor. rather than a exo suit which has all the dynamic mobility of a backhoe.

 

Really a must buy!

 

So Epicly Awesome Still. This guy will be mine 6x over if not more. So much mod potential even.

Dear All TF/Joe Mod Makers. Please make and sell clip on hands that either clip on and then around the canons, or hands with an additional gun handle that lets the canons combine into a BFG. I'd also dig 'super bike' front end attachments too. Strap peg attachments would be nice too for the legs or body to allow more joes to be capable to use. >.>

The only draw back I can see is the hindered range of motion on the arms, but after all the forethought on the legs, that seems odd. So that'd be the other thing I'd look into changing or seeing what to do about other then the tidbits already mentioned. But even so this thing is just all kinds of want for a 5-6 man spec ops team. >.>

Hasbro, if you do another version of this, please let it be a scarlet or Jynx or Baroness one. And tweak the shoulder blades!

This thing is just too sweet! It seems like a heavily altered for peg system 25th wraith body, legs, arms, and armor. So the arm gauntlets would have to be redesigned for a fem one, or used backwards and trimmed. Leg strap pegs would have made that transition easier on the legs, and the chest piece wings are potentially hindering range of motion(I wonder if it can be flipped upside down so the wings fold under the arms). Just really makes me wonder what the future of this size catergory may be if this little guy proves to sell extremely well.
Bubblegum crisis, centurions, mospeada, ROC, this little guy really evokes so many good ideas in one place.
Heck slap Cobra emblems on em, slap shield emblems on em, slap hammer emblems on em, this little guy is just so perfect once the kinks are worked out!
Even just head swaps with like duke and ripcord, or even a new helmet design for snake eyes, or BAT riders, or even storm shadow, or ninja bats, heck even wraith heads might look all sweet in here. And possibly even tamox and xamot. Heck even ironman could look sweet in one of these or wolverine/x-23 facility guards. so wow.

 

it is cool, no doubt.... but its not a Transformer just a guy in a Motorcycle suit

 

have we heard anything new about these? release date or anything?

 

HissTank.com - G.I. Joe
If you followed the link in the first post you would have gotten the info you wanted

 

Unless he can't log onto HissTank.

Pass.

 

Correct.

 

the info was posted in the thread too

thanks Megahawk, I did read the whole post when it originally started, but as yet nobody mentioned a release date or even if these toys would ever see a store shelf.
Now if that info is on the Hiss tank forum, I'm sorry, don't got a membership there, as I don't collect joe's.
i was just checking back to the old thread to see if any new info had been discovered and I seemed to annoy you.

 

not to bring up a zombie thread or anything, but what happened to this toy?

Is it still coming out?

I want this toy so bad.

 

I hope it didn't get canceled. I heard some ROC toys got canceled because of poor sales and slow release dates.

Maybe it got delayed and pushed back to the "Pursuit of Cobra" line.

 

That's what I'm hoping too. I SO want this.

 

Pursuit of cobra? hmmm, well.who cares as long as they don't cancel it.

Too many folks are anticipating this cool little toy.

 

IIRC, Hasbro basically confirmed it was in the process of being 'rescheduled' rather than canceled.

 

Potentially interesting if a little to dull-military looking perhaps. and not so highly articulated.

I might get it if I see it - but probably won't chase after it like I did Matt Trakker.
But then I often look at Gi Joe vehicles think they are nice and 'don't buy them'. as I simply don't have the space to collect Gi Joe as well as up to 100 Transformers a year.


3.75" Centurions - perhaps under a Gi Joe Subbrand (as they did with Matt Trakker) would be nice - but then I'd still like a Gi Joe Miles Mayhem with a Jet pack too.

 

I highly doubt this thing is canceled, more likely just pushed back to Fall like the rest of the Pursuit of Cobra line. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the following:

...So. Damn. Nice.
