Crimson Rage: Such an elegantly simple design. You can't beat those early eighties classic Joe vehicles. eyeballkid: Who the heck is riding? Looks like grunt? Wylde Weezle: I wish it was a new Grunt. Or Short Fuze or Zap...I think it's Breaker from the Comic 2 pack. spacemonkeymafia: Why did they give us another Breaker? Crimson Rage: I'll be buying this for the RAM itself. I'd snap it up even if there was no figures included. Cobra-La: Ahhh . . . What a beauty. This was my first Joe vehicle. Fitting it is coming with Breaker, my first Joe. Of course I will be swapping the head out with a Clutch head with brown hair. I love the subtle updates. These vehicles are great. Gung.Heaux: Quote:

He's the same thing with LESS paint & LESS gear.
They should have made him animation colors... darthZartan: Great vehicle, it was one of my favs. Can't wait to get the new one. The pics look great. artiepants: looks really nice, but the Breaker is a definite WTF? (especially with no gear)
Rock n' Roll with Short Sleeves would have been my driver of choice. mech-grunt: Looks great one of my all time favorites hectorxd: Is that a tail light on the back of the bike or one of those cheap water gun plugs? Does this double as a water squirter?? SnakeEyes1982: Well, it looks pretty good,
I'll probably buy it. artiepants: Quote:

Looks great! ceraurus: I think it's especially nice the little updates Hasbro did to this. This was my 2nd vehicle as a kid, and it's definitely going to RocknRoll. A.V.A.C.: yeah this looks good. i hope i can find a few, i got's some ideas on how to repaint some. the updates are suttle and welcomed. Jinx723: "I'd buy that for a dollar." artiepants: Quote:

Tunnel Rat: artiepants, i must agree with you about the tunnel rat on the most wanted list. as for the RAM its simple and straight to the point, they didnt try to do to much and over do it. I think they hit it right on the head. topnotch97: maybe i should do a custom instead. any sign of chap mei or lanard lying around? Greyryder: Looks like the gas tank is a whole new mold, too. They also got rid of those extra tabs on the side, that held the figures on. Nice to see, since they're not needed with the handle bars. Iron Spider-Man: I think the RAM looks pretty good. I held off on the comic 2-pack with Breaker, and now am glad that I did, because of this. Of course, I'll end up with an extra Serpentor (just got him today, for kicks) but hey, who knows what I can do with an extra of him. Magnus Prime: can't wait to get this and the trouble bubbles! artiepants: Quote:

Honestly, based on my observation of Hasbro trends, i'm actually fairly surprised that Tunnel Rat and Dusty haven't been announced, moreso than a lot of others they haven't done yet. Tunnel Rat: Quote:

I am really surprized Dusty hasnt been done yet. I hope they make him with mesh netting around his head and dont try to do anything cheesey with it. Vagabond Elf: Quote:

Now I will get two sweet minty vehicles for an incredibly awesome price...it's a good time to be a Joe collector!

Maybe add a stach or a beard and a different skin tone. Iron Spider-Man: Quote:

And Breaker might come with his gear, but even if he doesn't it still doesn't particularly tempt me to buy the comic pack with him... now the fact that my local Wal-Mart is flooded with the damn things, that does, but that is a different tale. |
