Yesterday, we brought you the news of Hasbro’s latest collaboration between G.I. Joe and World Of Tanks. Today, we have received a massive update from official channels of the game.
Transmission Incoming: Cobra Commander
Greetings from one Commander to another!
You know, Commander, they call me mercilessss. I would say effective… Oh… I managed to get to you before that fool Duke? Then disregard what I said. You see, me and my associates, we’re not just rebels at heart. We’re inventors, industrialists, and armored vehicle enthusiasts. I can see you are into powerful tanks. Look at this specimen we’ve recently assembled in our secret lair… I mean, our skunkworks facility. The Cobra B.O.A. can obliterate your enemies… and finally give ussss a chance to prevail over G.I. Joe. I have some military experience and would like to help you reach your goalssss.
Your decision is now, Commander. COBRA!!!
Transmission Incoming: Duke
Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there, Commander!
I’m Duke, a G.I. Joe operative, and I’m honored to make your acquaintance. I’ll cut straight to the chase. Our intel has confirmed that Cobra have recently developed a new secret armored weapon to get an edge over us. So, we’re going to establish a presence in World of Tanks to contain the threat. We could use the help of a seasoned tanker like you, riding in our brand-new G.I. Joe Breakthrough Tank. The B.T.T. is well protected, packs quite a punch, and should be able to deal with that crazy Cobra gizmo, the B.O.A., should you meet on the battlefield. Hey, I would even go to the frontline with you.
Can’t wait to get into action again. YO JOE!!
You can check out the reveal trailer, after the jump and then head over to the official website of World Of Tanks for a tank load of info and images.

I stumbled across this a few minutes ago:

The tanks are not what one would hope for, but at lest the brand is getting exposure.

That's interesting.
I enjoyed seeing the many toy reference "easter eggs" throughout those T-54 Cobra Battle Operation Assault Tank (B.O.A.) illustrations.
Must have been about five different G.I. Joe line vehicles referenced there, just on that one singular tank.
Neat stuff...

Interesting, I never played that game but more exposure for Joe is always a plus in my book

I love that Cobra tank.

Dang. I can't connect to it.

The plastic panel lines and decal textures are such neat touches

I also find it entertaining that the TS-5 American tank destroyer prototype, now renamed as the G.I. Joe Breakthrough Tank (B.T.T.), has a modern era battle stand (or figure stand) loaded into the bustle rack behind the turret.
