I don't know what it is, but I just think this is a very cool tank...
YOJOE.COM | Cobra Rage I guess it's the design... The cage-like doors, or maybe the 'tires'... I'm sure of one thing - I find the "flat-like" design cool in and on itself! Last edited by Artifex; 10-04-2008 at 11:48 PM.. |

Been hoping for a re-release since the new line started. For some reason I dig this thing.

I liked that thing, cept where the missiles on the side were near the turret and the funky wheels, a tracked version or one with proper land mine proof wheels (like on modern whelled transposrts) would have rocked.

I had one. It is a decent and well designed urban vehicle.
The wheels always bothered me though.

Still hoping to see it re-released. And the Cobra Wolf. That would be cool with the Artic HISS coming out. Only a matter of time before we see the Snow Cat.

Yea the 15th anniversary blue and black one was really great. Honestly it has a very functional design. Low profile for a smaller target area, appropriate armament, even the wheels were ingenious, on clear pavement the small contact patch would allow speed and efficiency, but the conical shape would provide extra grip going through rubble by allowing the high side to get on top of larger chunks, without having to increase ground clearance and thus, preserve the low silhouette.

I made one once with the Black Body from the 97 and the red parts from the original. I wish I still had it.

I had that! It's in storage somewhere at my folks' house... I rather liked it, one of the less-goofy Cobra vehicles. When they started with foam-missile-launching vehicles, it started getting silly.
Those bellows always broke, too. And the spring-fired missiles always shot 5 inches, or in the eye. Never enough to do any damage, just smart a little. I think this vehicle rocked, as it missed the spring-loaded missile bandwagon... Although I REALLY liked the Joe Badger (from the similar era, too right?) and it had the spring-launcher... Good times. |

I always loaded it up with alley vipers and took it into battle. Lots of love for it.
