It seems that Hasbro is either a little sloppy or cheap when it comes to accessorizing the figures that come with the Target and Wave 1 vehicles. Let's start with the Target vehicles:
Blue HISS Tank - Cobra Drive has no weapons but does have a place for a knife on his right leg. Night Spector - Grand Slam comes with no weapons but does have a visor for his helmet. AWE Striker - Crank Case comes with a knife that he obviously took from the Cobra Driver. Wave 1 Vehicles: Armadillo - Steeler comes with a knife but I couldn't locate a pistol for that ankle holster to save my life. Air Chariot - Serpentor looks naked without his cape and where's that sword he's holding in the instructions with the formentioned cape.? Trouble Bubble - Tele-Viper with not a single accessory. Makes reaching out and touching someone a little hard. Breaker - Now this is an interesting case. There's a small pistol packed with the stand but with a little investigating something interesting turned up. There's actually a larger pistol in one of the Ram's side cases but it's grey. Black Hiss Tank - Blue HISS Tank Commander actually has his pistol. Vamp - Clutch comes with a pistol and knife. I'll give Hasbro credit for getting 2 1/2 right. It would be 3 if Breaker's "other" pistol would have been black. Even with the lack of accessories, I still like the vehicles. Hopefully Hasbro will add a footlocker containing weapons into future waves like they're doing with some of the upcoming SW figures.

Here's a hint, never open your toys on a black granite countertop. I just found a small black pistol while opening up a DTC Hiss Tank. I'm pretty sure that doesn't go with the Night Creeper. I'm not sure if this goes with Breaker or Steeler. Since Breaker does have that grey pistol, I stuck the newly found one in Steeler's ankle holster.
So, once again, be careful when opening your toys.

yeah, but the TRU 5 packs come with many extra weapons.
Also, shouldn't the drivers come with the vehicles just drive and not try to backseat shoot? ;) |

My Breaker did not come with a headset nor a bubble gum, as that true for others...

I just got the AWE striker today (from WildWeasel at Yo Joe) and since it's my first vehicle for my Joes in about 15 or more years I have to say I was impressed. Wondered about that knife Crankcase had but was too happy with the vehicle to think too much on that. Drat, now I want to look for the Vamp and Ram too. I did see a HISS from Target at a Flea Market today but I refused to pay $50.00.

My Steeler came with a gun for his ankle holster. I didn't see it at first but it was under the stand.

No, but they are cutting cost else where by not suppyling the hand held weapons. Which is fine, but I wish they'd offer a different leg that didn't suggest the knife's simply missing.
