I really wanted this, and the Cobra Minotaur even more, when they were previewed. I hope Viperskingdom has a good number of both and their drivers to go around...

I think Mechs in the Joeverse are an epic fail. They belong in Robotech or Avitar. I ended up getting the mechs for the drivers when they were $10 or less. The only good part of the Mechs is the cockpit, which you could use as a flight simulator dio. Hopefully, these will show up at Ross and I can get some repainted Night Creepers.

I don't like this one. I like the Steel Marauder though and I picked one up at regular price and a second when it was on sale.
I do wish the Desert Scorpion one comes out though as I want that figure's legs for a custom. It's the perfect color already so I wouldn't have to paint.

I like Mechs in the Joeverse. They're not any less realistic than half of the Joe/Cobra vehicles over the years. In fact, I really like the design of the S6-based mechs, since the pilot in enclosed in a cockpit and doesn't have his body exposed to enemy fire.
I think these mechs would have done better if they weren't just color variations (or had their legs on backwards) of the same vehicle. They needed to look more radically different from each other (Joe and Cobra versions). Also, the weapon arms for the Cobra one were a bit goofy. The S6 had such an awesome double-barreled laser cannon which Hasbro basically said was too boring to reissue (in response to a question I posed them thru the Q&As). |

I love the mechs. I don't know what it is about them, but they are my sons favorite things to play with. He has a couple and he always makes sure "his guys" have them everytime we play. He even picks them over the Skystriker. I tried to explain that the Skystriker is much cooler, but he is not buying it, lol.
