I noticed there was a weird tab on the rear of my POC HISS tank. I saw some proto images awhile back, by Gyre-viper with the HISS attack scout "mating" with the rear tabs and when i tried them out as well, it was a perfect fit. Am i missing something here? The weight of the scout when attached to the back of the hiss puts so much pressure on the tab that keeps it from "attack mode" that it seems like itll break off if left for some time. Did hasbro really intend this scout to dock with the tank this way?

LOL.. it was an idea that hasbro scrapped, but Richard Woodhouse who designed it, kept it in the design anyway. It would have been fine, if it clipped on closer to the gun putting the scout more underneath the back section of the Hiss.

I did this when I got mine.. and just looked at it will a puzzled face.. Then heard stories from the hasbro guys about Richard just leaving the design in it even though the company had scrapped the idea. I also tried my hiss Drone, but it doesn't fit on the back or underneath like hasbro claimed it could.

It makes no sense, why would the HISS want to dock with the scout? The scout adds nothing.

I think on Gyre's thread when we first got to see it in practice, the consensus was that the rear hatch would have been a good/likely place for the drone. But yeah, the attachment up top is just dumb. Kills the entire concept.
