With forces spread thin to wreak havoc on various parts of the world, Cobra Commander decided to create a special H.I.S.S. tank that would be armed with enough munitons to overtake a small country. The result was the Cobra Steelgrave E.O.D. (Explosive Ordnance Deployment). Touting a 40mm machine gun and an upgraded .50 cal chin gun, the Steelgrave also features an armored canopy with a full-window-capable HUD.
Since the Steelgrave E.O.D. was designed to be the most agressive iteration of H.I.S.S. tank to date, Cobra Commander needed to pick the boldest and brightest soldiers to pilot the new machination of terror. He turned to The Baroness to pick the two Cobra soldiers that would make the Steelgrave's crew. Baroness decided to use two of her personal guardsmen, Night-Life and Blood-Skull. As they are two of her most trusted guardsmen, The Baroness has the loyalty of the Steelgrave E.O.D. in Cobra Commanders plans should go awry. Modifications: Canopies- I cut out the center of the canopy and replaced the missing section with a custom cut amber-colored piece of clear acrylic. I then modified a canopy cover from the Mega-Marines APC to form the window grill. The center hatch was taken from Sgt Slaughter's Warthog. I cut an opening in the center for gunner access. Armaments- The big 40mm machine gun on the left side was taken from a Duke Nukem 3D figure. On the right side, I glued 3 Neo-Viper rocket launchers together in order to form the triplke rocket launcher. In the front, I made a ball jointed chin gun by combining the front-end of a Cobra Fang and the stock chin gun. A hole was also drilled in the rear to fit a gun from the Arctic Blast. Tech- I used the Spy Troops remote-bot from the Cobra hovercraft/tank thing. The bot can be mounted under the Steelgrave for transport.

Only about a million (and a half) times better than the stock Hiss Tank!
That weaponry should have been available by default. Amazing work! |

Thanks. Btw- the custom rocket launcher and the 40 mm machine gun have pegs for rotational capability. As a result, they aren't glued in!
