HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has posted all new images of the upcoming H.I.S.S. Tank from G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra! The Pursuit of Cobra HISS Tank features opening cockpits for both the driver and gunner. Included is a H.I.S.S. Driver with a mix of parts from previous figures.
Also shown is a new 4 wheeled, VAMP like vehicle, with a new driver! The name of included Joe is unknown at this point. Also worth noting are what could be the return of modular weapons ports! We’ve seen these used on the movie PIT, but haven’t seen widespread use ever since the DTC and Sigma 6 lines.
Both of these vehicles and their respective drivers are shown in prototype form. Yet we can already tell that the level of detail shown on these vehicles is a significant jump from what we saw in the Rise of Cobra line! Click on the title bar to take a look!
NOTE: THIS IS GOING TO BE PIC HEAVY... I am uploading a zillion
or so pics right now. Try and reserve your comments until I have
posted ALL of the pics.
Pictured:
- HISS w/ driver prototype
- possible VAMP w/ driver (he looks like he will have facial hair... Rock N Roll? Clutch? both?). (prototype).
-Rescue Mission factory mock-up
pics coming. might take a few minutes. thank you for your patience.
The "Vamp" I took a LOT of pics of because everything is pretty much interchangeable (to the point where I'm not sure if I even put things in the right place hahahahaha)... itz severely versatile and I wouldn't be surprised if it came with multiple figures and a lot more accessories.
My proto only came with 4 wheels. I'm pretty sure the final version will come with a spare. Hopefully my pics are useful and not confusing.
The HISS isn't as large as I thought it would be. It has a rear trap door and the button on top is obviously what you use to make it pop up from
itz crouching position. I would have called it The Haunch.
The mock up I just threw in cuz I got it with everything else.
some people like to see mock ups... others don't. so itz in there if you're interested.
I will try to get you some pics.I just got my Ice Cutter's,Hiss attack scout and Wolf hound w/drivers in the mail yesterday. They are FN awesome.I really like the Ice cutter.
I'm excited for it.
Yeah, I'm digging it. From what we saw at the Con, it looked pretty cool. I think the one they had used some pre-existing parts. I'm interested in seeing what the new one will look like. At any rate, I'll probably buy a couple at least.
would an extending...giraffe-ing tank be more of a target in battle??
is it too 'inspector gadget??'
The concept was always about using that aspect in more of a defensive role. You'd "dig in the tank" or find a berm or something to hide behind, and the turret/gun would be able to rise up to fire over the cover, and go back down for cover/protection.
I don't remember what the driver looked like but I'll probably use classic HISS jockies anyway.
You mean this Hiss tank?

I'll take one
That's the one
I'm definitely going to try to get at least two. I think it's a nice update that really gets back to the "HIgh Speed Sentry" role.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see the Resolute HISS show up as an "Armored HISS" or something, but the new design looks pretty keen to me. Curious to see what the driver looks like.
I'm hoping...
I want to see the final version first before I make up my mind. I like the design but the mess that was the HISS IV, with it's pop up cockpit, still lingers in the back of my brain.
