What's the story about the Cobra Rattler changing into the Joe Tiger Rat? Did Joe steal the blueprints (back?)

I think it's part of the whole Tiger Force thing where Joe stole some Cobra vehicles and repainted them. I faintly remember watching the episodes where they did the whole Tiger Force thing, but that was after I had "grown out of" G.I. Joes. What it boils down to is Hasbro repainting stuff to sell more things. I always thought the Tiger Force stuff was ugly, but I know it holds a lot of appeal for other collectors.

As I recall, the Joes stole several vehicles from Cobra and repainted them. The repainted Vehicles became Tiger Force. Cobra did the same thing and called theirs Python Patrol.

A terrorism organization stealing vehicles kinda makes sense, but for the Joes to commandeer enemy vehicles to use as their own (on a regular basis) quite frankly does not.
Did the Joes blow their operating budget for the year? |

Also, the process of "Pythonizing" a vehicle helps make it invisible to radar and other electronic forms of detection.
Tiger Force had no such reasoning behind it. Do you think Tiger Force captured vehicles and brought them home to paint them, or did they bring a bunch of paint behind enemy lines? |

It would seem so if Transformers couldn't have a decent 25th anniversary.

Never a fan of the Rattler............ especially with the JOEs other flight vehicles. It seemed or at least looked archaic at times.

I think we need a bigger rattler...something in the lines that Hasbro is doing with its star wars vehicles.
Could you guys imagine a upgraded Rattler and Skystriker.

After the fiasco with the PIT & "baby"Night Raven, I think it'll be along time before Hasbro spends money on retooling a Rattler or Skystriker or any large vehicles for that matter. I'm still hoping I see the Wolverine rereleased. We got most of the stuff from 82-83 so far.
