No. But we might get a variation on that toy with Firefly instead.

It'd be interesting to see if it did happen, because it would certainly show that Hasbro worked a LOT more closely with paramount on this one. Or conversely had much more direct say in the matter if they could go to Paramount and say, "Hey, we've got this toy developed that we want you to put in the movie." It'd almost be like the old days!
In fact, if you look at some of the screencaps at Generals Joes, there's a sort-of glimpse of what -might- be a HISS tank coming through an explosion that looks like it might have a LOT of similarities to the PoC Hiss Tank.

I say he will be called Firefly. But we may get the toy.

Well these just showed up at Ross, so I doubt they will be released as Joe2 toys. Still say they will rename him Firefly

Still a chance. Wouldn't be the first time that they've repainted and rereleased something.
Hell, the armadillo was supposed to show up twice in the RoC/PoC line.
First came out in RoC with Thunderblast and then was getting a camo paintjob and coming out in the original PoC line with Outback.
I wish the camo-ed armadillo had come out. I would have bought a ton of those.

Not every guy on a motorcycle is Ashiko. Nothing in that video even remotely resembles that toy other than a guy on a bike.
Besides that Cycle Armor is a shit toy anyway. If that had ever made it to mass retail, it'd rot on the shelves. And by mass retail, I don't mean Ross or any other discount or close out store.

I don't think its Ashiko either, but about a moment after the still above, the cycle shoots off a rocket & looks like it starts to transform. Which is why I made this poll.
I think it would be awesome if the movie makers, made a point to include POC era toys to increase sells on those items & posibly re-paints.
THere is also a hint of the POC Hiss Tank in the trailer, (Covered by an exposion, but it there.)

Look further into the clip, GeneralsJoes screencaps capture it really well..
It's not transforming, it's exploding. The pieces become seperate missiles.
