Greekculture is giving us our first in-hand look at Transformers x G.I. Joe Megatron & Baroness.

Megatron transforms from a very G1-looking robot mode into a classic H.I.S.S. Tank, and it also comes with an O-Ring Baroness figure. Megatron can interact perfectly with the Baroness (or any classic O-Ring scale Joe toy) who can sit and use Megatron’s cannon turret in robot mode or just sit and drive the tank mode. Transformation is quite simple and fun, so you can go from each mode easily.

See all the new images and the unboxing video, after the jump. Let us know your impressions on the HISSTANK Forums.

Following their recent interview, Atomic Arcade has posted new job openings for their upcoming console title G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.

The company now has a logo as well as a brand new description for the game:

“Atomic Arcade is a brand-new video game development studio located in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area led by industry veterans from AAA game and film studios. We are in the process of staffing up our development team with outstanding talent to build our first multi-platform, AAA game – a bold, new take on the GI JOE Universe starring the legendary character Snake Eyes! This is an excellent opportunity to not only build an outstanding AAA experience but to also help form the core foundations for the studio and team to build upon. We are proud to be part of Wizards of the Coast which is a division Hasbro.”

In addition to that, creative producer and GM Ames Kirshen sat down with GamesIndustry for an extensive interview about the game and the company.

“I always had this great desire to tackle G.I. Joe and take a crack at making an amazing game with the IP because I think there’s a lot of potential there,” Kirshen says. “So long story short, we decided to build a studio to support that franchise, to support that game.”

That studio is the Raleigh, North Carolina-based Atomic Arcade. The game is Snake Eyes, a AAA action-adventure title that Kirshen describes as “a much more edgy, contemporary, mature take on G.I. Joe to really suit what we felt we needed to have this IP and game resonate with a modern consumer.”

“It was a process of getting them comfortable with the direction we wanted to go with, that this is the type of content the market is looking for,” Kirshen says, “that people grew up with this IP and those who grew up with this IP back in the days of Real American Hero at its peak in the ’80s and ’90s are now fathers and uncles, and these are the mass consumers of these AAA consoles and PC platforms. And they want content that grows with them.”
