Matt Trakker Leader of M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) to be released as Specialist Trakker in Modern Era A Real American Hero Wave 10 or 11.
M.A.S.K. was a hybrid of popular 80's cartoons G.I. Joe and Transformers. It featured a special task force, led by Matt Trakker, with transforming vehicles engaged in an ongoing battle against V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem), with an emphasis on super-powered helmets called masks worn by the characters on the show. The first hint of this figure came from Wal-Mart listings of a G.I. Joe M.A.S.K. Figure (M.A.S.K. UPC 0065356936410) with our second clue comming from Hasbro's G.I. Joe Web Site with a poll listing Specialist Trakker. http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/default....rtainment/Poll

Holy. Freaking. Crap.
I was one of the staunch "no way this is happening, it makes no sense" folks. I was wrong. WAY wrong, obviously. I am admitting it and prepared to eat crow. I also don't necessarily think it's a great idea, but what the hell? I'll still buy it. I also think now the line is even more clearly aimed at nostalgic collectors and not at kids.

I am not sure if he will come with a MASK or what he will look like but word is he will be a G.I. Joe Trainer.

He's not a Joe in my book and this is where the buck stops for me Hasbro. I'm not buying. Why not just start up the M.A.S.K line again instead of throwing this guy in to a Universe he never belonged in.

the more i think about this, the more i am "ok with it". i originally hated the idea, and almost picked up my mouse and chucked it at my monitor when i first saw the rumor. and yes - like everyone else - i'd probably prefer they stuck to releasing original 80s Joes in the 25th/ME line. but i'm starting to think that having some "new blood" isn't such a bad thing. i am only vaguely familiar with MASK, and know nothing of Matt Trakker, but if he turns out to be a cool-looking figure, than i think we''ll just end up with a nice addition to our collections.

Train Joes to wear big goofy masks and fly around in winged cars, no doubt. I wonder if they'll make his kid with the robot-dog-scooter thing.
