Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member DarkHorse for posting up images of the upcoming GIJOE vs. Transformers Shockwave Techno Viper! The new kit will fit over a G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary Techno Viper.
These new kits will be available at Star Wars Geek.com
More Shockwave Techno Viper images after the jump.

I figured this would go well with the SDCC HISS. I thought the figure could use the tank as a kind of mech-suit extension of himself.
Maybe Shockwave's robot body got damaged and he had to downgrade into a modified BAT frame until Destro can make him a new body. I'll write up a proper bio if anyone wants me to.
Anyway, this should be available from Starwarsgeek soon. Price TBA.

Please post here if you want to buy a set.
All parts just pop onto a Techno Viper. You'll need to prise off the TV forearm pads and cut off the wrist cuffs.
Edit: Here's the Filecard I made up that will be included with all kits.
Pre-order here!

Awesome and Front paged. You have a customer sir. If you have more images of the figure please post them up?
DarkHorse says
SWG is casting more as we speak, so more pics very soon.
Forgot to add, the Decepticon faction sticker set you can get from cobrastickers.com has the perfect sized decal for the chest plate -

So Dark Horse told me that he's getting bombarded with messages regarding this kit. As of right now, here's what I have:
The kit will be cast in black. The vest and arm cannon will be a more flexible plastic like what Hasbro uses for capes and such, and the head and fist hand will be rigid material. The kit will be 4 pcs and cost $20 unpainted, probably around $35 - $40 if you want it painted. I'll take some more pics later today and upload them. Anyone interested can message me and I'll start making a list. I can only run 1 or 2 copies a day, just FWIW, so it may take a while to get all the kits made. But I'll make as many as needed.

The large right hand makes it look a bit too cartoony. I imagine it would look good with just the regular Techno Viper hand as well.
Pretty neat idea, though.
