I think Hasbro is starting to wise up in terms of which figures they package with their COBRA vehicles. They could have paired the Trubble Bubble with a unique character like Firefly, but instead chose the Tele-Viper because they factored the army builders into the equation.
It's a very smart move on Hasbro's part in doing this because even though many fans think of a blue HISS driver as Rip It some of us would rather have just another generic COBRA troop-type.
My thoughts exactly.
