Yup, that's what'd make him a very interesting addition. Maybe he's the dude Zartan calls when shit goes sideways and he needs someone to bail out the others, so the twins don't have to blow their cover. And when the job's done, he fades back into the shadows until he's needed again.

The Vamp's so much fun to play with, we need more of these $100 sized vehicles

I'm hoping they push the envelope with differentiating the Stinger from the Vamp. Remove ALL the accessories that make it a VAMP - and have a completely new set of snap-on parts. Maybe even including a different engine cover or different headlights. Anything that isn't part of the base mold could be modified. Heck, even do a different, evil-looking wheel sculpt (it's only one tooling - repeated four times)
edit - after writing that last line, I realized that the HMS is using the same wheels at the VAMP. Now I really want the Stinger to have a new wheel sculpt. (I know it won't happen - but still...)

Mercer is a former Cobra Viper. Maybe Trejo should be a former Dreadnok who continues to use similar methods, but for the Joes... mostly. Kind of an anti-hero, like Han Solo or Hondo Ohnaka.

There's already a Dreadnok named Machete. He was kind of the replacement for Ripper in Sigma 6. Never had a figure and no one remembers him.

My question implied that I was not sure. My initial impression with the enclosed canopy and four large missiles means that is will not be the same price, though the pre-existing tooling might mitigate the cost.
How did you calculate the $0.78 of extra plastic? Because if you're calculation that $0.37 worht of plastic = $10 then we are talking at least $120. Enjoy the vehicle bro.

Received my VAMP today. I remembered the 1027 video where Lenny mentioned we might have to pop the tires off of a pair of rims and flip them around if we wanted the tire treads all running the same direction. This is what I've done.
I'm not a huge fan of the wobbliness of the tires, but that's an unfortunate side effect of the added spring suspension. Also the weapons and accessories still feel a tad-bit too gummy, but at least nothing was really bent out of the package. I Personally cannot wait for the crappy cardboard footlockers and tissue paper accessory bags to be permanently retired. Cool concept, but terrible execution. Overall, I'm adequately pleased with my purchase. Though I am glad I only purchased the one. Here's a picture of the VAMP with Clutch mimicking the pose from the packaging with a surprise Energon Universe guest in the shot for funsies. |

I also think a retro ver2 se and ver2 ss would fly off the shelves i love ver 1 of both but an actual clone of both of those as retro would sell like hotcakes , it is a missed opportunity which im sure will be taken advantage of eventually this line has come a long way since 2020 and i would love to be still buying classified till @ least 2030 .. this is the best the joe line has been since 25th/poc/ME
