Yup. I live in a rural area, and there are many fields here chalk full of the parts needed to build a 1:1 Thunder Machine just wasting away (sans jet engine and guns; I'd say there are only a couple of fields with those parts rather than "many";)

I've been following his hobby news on TNI for years and have watched maaaaany of his update/livestream videos, and I've never known him to be a sensationalist simply looking for clicks/views. He's also been proven right more than a few times with his predictions, specifically as concerns Marvel Legends waves. He seems like a solid dude in other words.

I'm in if true.
Big Soundwave fan here and an o-ring universe Ravage on a chain sounds cool. And any Z-family members are ALWAYS welcome in the collection! |

Thanks so much for the pointer to this confirmation/video! Chris is about the most airtight resource we have outside of the Joe team. In fact I've occasionally hypothesized that Chris may actually work for Hasbro in some official capacity that he doesn't talk about- as their Joe specific social media guy I guess. He lives in Rhode Island near Hasbro HQ and again seems uber tight with the Joe team. Anyway, was fun seeing Chris confirm the rumor as legit.
Chris' job is to report on Joe news and even taking into account my aforementioned speculation, if there is Joe news to report on he's going to dip his toe. After all it's not like Chris took an official stance and there really is no "credibility" issue here as I see it. The drop in the bucket in the grander action figure landscape that is GI Joe certainly isn't going to ruin a reputation simply because this rumor proved unfounded. Now the dragonfly he clearly states is a rumor, but in the video linked above about 30 seconds before the time oringally stated he goes "I've known this for a while but couldn't talk about it, but now that the listing is leaked..." also its pretty clear he knew about the vehicle/soundwave and not what specific figures or decos there will be, as later he does say "supposedly" |

So obviously in 86 there were a ton of scrap Trans Ams around, but now it's out of place. So if they were to build a new Thunder Machine (and this is completely hypothetical because I'm sure we'll get it just as it was), what front end would you want them to use? A modern Mustang, Charger or Challenger would be the most likely choice. Probably one from 10 years ago or so. A Viper would be the most appropriate choice, but might be too pricey for the Dreadnoks. I'd probably choose the Charger. Preferably a scrap Highway Patrol version.
