World of Tanks adding GI Joe skin themed tanks.

compactattitude · 03-11-2021, 11:43 AM

I stumbled across this a few minutes ago:

The tanks are not what one would hope for, but at lest the brand is getting exposure.

That's interesting.

I enjoyed seeing the many toy reference "easter eggs" throughout those T-54 Cobra Battle Operation Assault Tank (B.O.A.) illustrations.

Must have been about five different G.I. Joe line vehicles referenced there, just on that one singular tank.

Neat stuff...

Interesting, I never played that game but more exposure for Joe is always a plus in my book

I love that Cobra tank.

I'll add one picture to my post above, so you can see what I mean.

The plastic panel lines and decal textures are such neat touches

I figured they were meant to look like toys.

I also find it entertaining that the TS-5 American tank destroyer prototype, now renamed as the G.I. Joe Breakthrough Tank (B.T.T.), has a modern era battle stand (or figure stand) loaded into the bustle rack behind the turret.
