I remembered seeing the original Mole Pod on display at Joe Con, and thought it was a little bigger. I looked through the gallery, and it was, in fact, huge:
G.I. Joe Images :: Hasbro Dealer Room :: Joecon_2008_Dealer_Room_0043 I couldn't imagine Hasbro going through with production on such a uni-functional vehicle at that size, but it would've been sweet if the final product had been slightly larger - big enough to bore a hole soldiers could walk through, instead of crawl out of. Then I was looking at the Nitro-Viper, and the body armor he has seemed to closely resemble the ARAH Techno-Viper torso. I'm hoping this means we'll see one produced in the future (they're my favorite). So I went back through the gallery and dug up the custom Hasbro had for Joe Con last year also: G.I. Joe Images :: Hasbro Dealer Room :: Joecon_2008_Dealer_Room_0090 and the original: G.I. Joe Images :: Hasbro Dealer Room :: Joecon_2008_Dealer_Room_0091 There were also some neat customs of the Buzz Boar, Big Boa, Golobulus and Sci-Fi with the rest of these. Here's hoping... |

I think the mole pod was always intended to be a small single person type of... well, pod. I would have liked to see something the size of a small tank though like they had in the comics.
As for the Nitro-Viper/Techno-Viper appearance, sure it has hoses on it, but it's clearly a Motor-Viper. Just wish they had used different thighs to make it resemble the original more. This doesn't mean they won't use the same vest for a Techno-Viper, but I would hope they'd use a new vest that actually matches the Techno-Viper's chest |
