Cobra is supposed to have that fringe science madman technology. These vehicles lately don't show that.
A hero needs a worthy opponent and Cobra toys used to show they were advanced as all hell.
Their designs used to jump out the box at you. Bring that back.

A motorcycle that transforms itself into several exploding projectiles? That sounds advanced to me.

Yeah but most of the designs suck. Before they screamed advanced and threatening, not so much now.
Cobra condor, Bugg, hammerhead, hurricane, firebat, trouble bubble. These were all pretty advanced looking vehicles and were fun too.
Its 2012 now. People have seen cooler stuff in cartoons, anime, movies and videogames. Maybe its time Cobra steeped forward a bit with the tech designs.

i agree, but i also think buzzboar and pogo were bad ass toys, have em both, love em both.

a pack of buzz boars create a trench for trace troops as they zig zag towards the walls of the joe strongpoint, or a pogo rockets into the air and thunders down on the other side of said wall, as its missiles and dual cannons make short work of the joes.

but yeah, bring on the outlandish shit that made cobra COBRA.

Didn't you hear?

GI Joe is supposed to be a realistic brand, not full of sci-fi crap!

What about the PoC black HISS V5? That thing is awesome AND super-advanced looking.

Maybe that's why kids don't like it today. Maybe its not out there enough.

Just modify the HISS v5 into the one in my sig and I'll be a happy camper. Heck, I'll army build those suckers. I'll make room for them.

Yep, that's what I first thought of..... and the Black Dragon too!

Besides that, though.....I can't think of anything else. The VAMP is cool, but I wouldn't say it is "cutting edge".

Cobra I don't mind designs getting a little crazy, but still I like a bit of plausibility.

I really think GI Joe needs to do takes on real militaria. It gives us some synergy to work off of.

Both these vehicles are wins because they are advanced but not too sci-fi.

I love the Black Dragon especially.

Cobra shouldn't have as many vehicles as the U.S. military. Their stuff needs to be better so that Cobra technology balances out the world militaries overwhelming numbers.

We all wish that the Hiss looked like the one in your signature !!! Hasblow is too cheap though
