Dreadnok cycles! Which do you use?

[KALASH69]

Hey everyone, Im Kalash, Im new here but you could say I've been collecting since 1992 or so. I lost most of my original collection in a move back in 2003 and stopped collecting, until the 25th line came out. Thats besides the point though.

Anyway, I've got a question for everyone. What 1/18th cycles do you guys use for your Noks'? I recently purchased one of those Hot Wheels Rollin' Thunder Motorcycles. I havent been able to find any other like it yet (online or in stores), as all the ones I've seen have been yellow, blue, or green. However, the one I got is black and red, perfect Cobra colors. Im going to put a Cobra emblem on each side of the gas tank so it resembles the Dreadnok's scooters in the comics.

Anyone else seen this one? I found another on ebay, but Im debating whether to get it or not until I receive the first one.

So what bikes do you guys use for your Dreadnoks? I couldn't find another thread like this, so I decided to make one.

Feel free to post pictures too!!

[thunderdan19]

Yup, I use the same ones. I have a black and orange one for Zartie, a red one for Buzzer, green for Ripper and blue for Torch. I haven't seen better options out there anywhere than these, which seem almost custom made for the boys.

[Gunzlingr]

Maisto.

I got 4 of them at Walmart for $2 each. Harleys mostly.

[Golobulous]

i use the original dreadnok tri-cycle i believe it was part of the 1987 line. currently i have my 25th torch, ripper and zartan on it

[Unclassified]

i picked up some dirt bikes tru brand only 2.99 an they have motor cycles too but wanted dirt bikes not mc's

So I take it they fit well on them?

[Lantern_Lad]

I'd like to see some pics too! Not sure if I've seen any of these cycles you guys are talking about!

[dcooper]

I use the hot wheels ones to. I saw some other ones at walmart for 2.97 but they are strret bikes. The ones I bought are 4.27. They are choppers.

[KingOfVillains]

Wow, you guys jumped on the custom 'nok cycles kinda' late.

Back in 2004 I bought the 1:18 Arlen Ness choppers and they look freakin' badass! Especially because I had spare decals to put on 'em. I've bought a few of the new Maisto bikes and such...but nothing that's out now really compares to the Arlen Ness bikes. Look 'em up.

[MAJOR WOLF]

Maisto.

I got 4 of them at Walmart for $2 each. Harleys mostly.

Same here.

[MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA]

show us pics of the hot wheels please!!!

[JR0d28]

I picked up some bikes at the local dollar store. I also switched parts to make them look cool.

Ripper gave green with orange
Torch red with chrome trim
Buzzer blue with orange trim
Zartan gave him the all black with chrome trim

[JR0d28]

Have an extra white/maroon trim one gave that one to a custom Shawn Michaels GI JOE I made.

[KALASH69]

As soon as mine comes I ill post a picture of it and such.

[Shogi]

Currently I'm using Cobra Ferrets, Mutt Williams bike and the German Soldier bike from the Indiana Jones line

[JR0d28]

The bikes I picked up resemble the OC Chopper style bikes.

[Boodro]

Here's a shot of mine, don't know the names. I know 2 of them are from the Hot Wheels MOTO line.

[nic28]

i use the drednok tri-cycle and transformers animated oil slick cycle

[Booga]

i found the hot wheels moto at Dollar General today for $3.00

[Tomahawk]

cool

[rob0213]

Thinkin' about pimping out some Rams for them, Dreadnok style.

[KALASH69]

^That would be sweet. Gonna need green and black paint.

It would be neat if you could replace the chaingun on a few with different attachments, you know, make them fit into the hole and nob on the side of the ram. Attachments like a sidecar and maybe something like a rocket pod on wheels.

Or a mobile grape soda vending machine/cooler type of thing. I would like that!

[rob0213]

Yeah. Can't wait to get messing with 'em. Grape soda will be everywhere, lol.

[sgt.bludhound]

I use the hot wheels rolling thunder for my dreadnoks i have 3 of them, they work perfect for the dreadnoks espcially buzzer and ripper. zartan and torch can't really reach the handle bars so there just posin on the bikes.

[KALASH69]

^^Thats who I was going to use mine fore, Buzzer and Ripper only. I want Zartan and Torch to have a vintage Camaro or something with a .50 Cal on top with a mount and all.

[sisco]

Dollar Tree has started stocking what seem to be 1:18th scale choppers recently. They may not be exactly 1:18th but they're close and it looks like Joes would fit on them fine. They're only 1 dollar.

Hot Wheels 1:18th scale motorcycle line look pretty good. Most are concept bikes that would look great with the Noks. There's a few choppers in the line as well. They were around 5 bucks at Walmart today.

[KALASH69]

I might go walk about the corner and check that out. Thanks for the tip man.

[Ev!L ErN!E]

I use the Hot Wheel 1:18 Moto line one, they have some really nice Dreadnok style cycles, like the fathead and chopper, the red chopper with flames is perfect for Torch I think. I'm goingto be getting another one and paint it black and add cobra stickers to it for Zartan.

[solid_strider]

I don't know if I'm being too picky, but they seem a little to small for the 25th scale figures. I picked up a Maisto motorcycle and I just didn't like the way they looked on it. The motorcycle that came with the German soldier in the IJ deluxe pack was perfect with the SRO pack Hawk though.

[Ev!L ErN!E]

I think the Moto line fits the 25th line perfect... the figures sit on the bikes nice.

[darthdoug]

Currently I'm using Cobra Ferrets, Mutt Williams bike and the German Soldier bike from the Indiana Jones line

Same Here... I have also added the puppet from the SAW movies riding his tricycle as part of the gang. He seems like a pretty good fit. haha.

[solid_strider]

I think the Moto line fits the 25th line perfect... the figures sit on the bikes nice.

I'll have to try one of those then.

[GEN.TEX]

This is one of the HW Moto bikes. Torch dosen't sit to well on this bike.

[AMERICAN_Hero7]

I put this up on a thread earlier today. I found Arlen Ness die cast motorcyles in a 7 eleven and they fit perfect.

[Cold Slither]

That Ness bike looks perfect! Gotta get me one or five!

[Bravestarr]

This is one of the HW Moto bikes. Torch dosen't sit to well on this bike.

I also use the Hot Wheels bikes.

Rolling Thunder and Fat Boy are among my favorites.

[KALASH69]

I got my hot wheel bike today! And I put Torch on it, he doesn't sit down right, however, if your just posing him, if you sort of stand him up like he's about to push himself off and go from sitting, it looks great.

[Ev!L ErN!E]

This is one of the HW Moto bikes. Torch dosen't sit to well on this bike.

Yes he does... thats how your supposed to sit on a chopper....

I put this up on a thread earlier today. I found Arlen Ness die cast motorcyles in a 7 eleven and they fit perfect.

that bike is awsome!! I need to pick up a few of those... are they die cast?

[EDGEFIND]

I like the maisto and Hot Wheels bikes because they are pretty cheap and look good. At least good enough for me. I also use the Eversparkle custom choppers sets because they come apart easy and can make a nice looking chopper shop. Here are a couple pics of my Dreadnok Display:

Edgefind.. where did you get that Gas station from? it's perfect!

[EDGEFIND]

The gas station itself is a kitbash of 4 different Playmobil Police Stations that were clearanced out real cheap a few years back at Target. The gas pumps, tire rack, pop cooler, etc. are from an old 1/18th Ertyl set. The misc. tools are from various 1/18th tool sets. Here are some other pics as well:

[Jambi]

That's a great looking display, I love the Watermoccasins and swampskiers in the "basement."

[Magick]

Dude.. that is a nice usage of all those Ewok Villages. LOL Very nice set up.. impressive.

May need to look a little more carefullly at the clearanced Playmobile stuff they have at a few Target stores here..

[ZARTAN]

i saw a transformers animated figure that was a cycle and he was bad ass , he's a decep and his colors are green and black and brown and i think a lil purple it looked like it would work for zartan

[AMERICAN_Hero7]

that bike is awsome!! I need to pick up a few of those... are they die cast?

Yes, they are quality toys and I just happend to see a couple at a 7-eleven. It's been a while since I've seen these Arlen Ness die casts at a TRU or Wal Mart though. You can find them on E-bay. Here are some more pics.

Ewok & Robin Hood sets can be cool. I couldn't find any other use for them so I just added a little moss from the craft store to make some cheap scenery. I'm glad you folks like it.

The Playmobil stuff rocks...especially when it's on clearance. I still need to make up some stickers and "weather" the garage a bit but you can get the idea. I go back and forth working on my displays so I'll be getting back to that one soon hopefully.

Am Hero 7 , that Ness bike is sweet. I don't ever remember seeing those and it looks great with the Noks.

[KALASH69]

Awesome dio dude.

I've got a ton of playmo stuff from when I was little. I could probably rummage through it all to see what I can use.

[Black Rose]

After seeing this thread, I picked up some Maisto and Hot Wheel bikes today. Just want to say thanks to everyone for posting pic's & feedback.

[TK1072]

I too use the 1/18 Maisto mentioned above. I found these at my local Kmart about a month back.

[Ev!L ErN!E]

has anyone painted thier bikes up with Dreadnok or Cobra paint schemes yet? I'd like to see some pics if you have =D

I want to do that with mine, so when I'm done I'll post pics.
