Those PTE tanks look great in black, and pair nicely with the HISS tanks. I plan on trying something similar with the Corps Elite tank
HISS II in black looks amazing, that is also a brilliant idea.

I have seen people use the Corps Titan Tank as a Cobra MBT. Of course a repaint is in order, i've seen some in blue, black or red and it looked amazing.

Do you know where you saw those pics? I've thought about doing that tank as well. I'd love to see it in Cobra blue or black. Cobra needs a bit more firepower to go up against the Rolling Thunder, Mean Dog, Maulers, etc.

I remember in the early days of the 25th Anniversary figures, I picked up a Bradley tank from Target and repainted it to match the Cobra CAT. What really made it cool was the drop down door with troop carrier area in the back.

Cobra doesn't really have an MBT in the real sense of the word and for that matter the Joes didn't really get a legit MBT until the Patriot Grizzly (MOBAT and Mauler are too small/light/have too small of a crew to be actual MBTs).
If we're going with tracks, high caliber gun mounted on a turret, the Cobra Paralyzer could be a contender, but it has a very small crew and the protection is very limited. There's also the MAGGOT, but that's definitely first and foremost a self propelled artillery, and not ideally suited for the direct fire role. |

Yeah the Paralyzer would have been an excellent vehicle if it had been slightly larger with a (protected) seat for the gunner and in less garish colors. But it is still a very good vehicle.

I’m really enjoying the thread, I wanted to show my Hiss tank platoons. A classic hiss for fast attack, two POC hiss tanks for a balance of speed and firepower, one retaliation hiss for heavy firepower, and a basalisk for air defense. I will eventually assign a stinger (or other Jeep) for additional speed for flanking maneuvers as well as a dedicated helicopter gun ship. I think this is a fairly effective combat force.

Another option is this repainted true heroes tank that came with the hovercraft
