According to this recording from the 2009 NY Toy Fair the Cobra Gunship pilot is supposed to be Wild Weasel not Firefly and the box is just an early production box with a misprint. Here is the link below to the clip with the comment, it is about 12 minutes in:

Wild Weasel makes more sense. Any chance he'll cameo in the movie? Maybe as Destro's personal pilot but he never gets mentioned by name?

In the script the gunship is described as having six jets that direct the thrust. It's feasible, just not in the capacities they are trying to utilize here.
The cobra technology in the film is just... beyond cheesy. The ship is actually much larger in the film. It has the ability to carry 6-10 troops inside that central bay. So this is the kiddie version. I would have rather seen a helicopter, but oh well, that isn't as visually interesting as the halo style drop ship that we have here.

In the clip Hasbro says that Wild Weasel is piloting the Cobra gunship in a few scenes in the movie. They make some lame comments about the Ferret being renamed Cobra Tracks or something for the movie line and they also talk about the Armadillo being released for the movie line as a nod to the fans since we haven't seen one for a while, they must have forgot they just released it a few months back

I don't care what that gray/black pilot is called, he's a Firefly body with a cool new Cobra Whatever-Viper gear on top of him. Sky-Viper, Aero-Viper, something.
The helmet's really cool. The Motor Viper will get some classic paint apps, the same as I gave the Tele-Viper some distinguishing details so he didn't look basically unpainted. I like the updated helmet on the Motor-Viper, not sure if I'll "silver" the visor or not. I'll get a few of each off eBay eventually, I don't want either vehicle. |

That Humvee is Jackhammer from M.A.S.K.
Maybe that's why they released Matt Tracker as part of the GI JOE line. That cobra flying...whatever is a cross between the Dropship from ALIENS and a RAPTOR from BSG. Not very original designs. I am disappointed. Figures are okay though-but again, could have been so much better. If there is a GI JOE 2, let's hope they hire some designers with a little bit of what do you call it, oh yea! Imagination. Creativity. I'll be saving a lot of money NOT buying A LOT of this GI JOE movie crap. SIGH. Come on 2010! Bring us some more 25th toys. |
