I noticed on the Cobra Hiss tanks, some of them have different numbers. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the different numbers mean? For example I've seen 001, 827, 788.

They're hull numbers. I doubt Hasbro has ever decided exactly what they mean.
They could simply be sequential. 827 would then be the eight hundred twenty-seventh HISS Cobra produced. Or they could be Squadron/Troop/Vehicle numbers (Company/Platoon/Vehicle for you Yanks); 827 would then be the 7th tank in the 2nd Troop of the 8th Squadron. Or they could be arbitrary numbers painted on the side of the tank to confuse the enemy. Obviously, they also serve to identify a specific vehicle (or possibly Troop, a troop being (usually) a collection of 3 - 8 tanks).

I am not sure, I only thought we had the 788 on the original HISS, the 813 on the HISS 3, and the 827 on the target HISS.
It would be cool to find out if they had a real meaning. |
