A smaller 2 wheel or 4 wheel trailer that medium vehicle can pull would be useful for carrying around all sorts (if properly designed).

For example :

2 Trubble Bubbles
2 Ferrets (mounted side ways)
2 or 3 Ram's (mounted sideways)
2 CLAWS (mounted long ways pointing upwards).
A Cobra Fang
2 COIL Cycles side by side.
A Flak (in pieces)
A Jump Pad
2 or 3 S.N.A.K.E.
A Pirahna, Water Moccasin, Or Devil Fish
A Polar Battle Bear.
Zartan's Chameleon and or Zanzibar's Air Skiff.
A Pair of Anti-Armor Drones
The Flying Submarine
A Cobra Night Landing Dingy
A Skyhawk or Locust Helicopter.
or even all 3 PAC/RATS if they make them.
A Recon Sled (if they make that)
Dreadnok swampfire
1 or 2 BuzzBoar
Barracuda
Cobra RAT
An Ice Snake
A Manta-Ray boat
A Mech (laying down).
A Folded up Firebat.
An Iron Grenadiers AGP
1 or 2 Cobra (large) Jetpacks
A Cobra Pogo
An Ice Cutter
A Cobra surveillance port (mounted longways)

I can keep going those are just some things I thought of.

I'd suggest a base piece that is removable and exchangeable to allow for different configurations and maybe some strapping to hold things down.

I think the Wolverine is within the parameters of retail size wise it isn't much different from a Snow Cat. There is a lot of vehicles they can just make like that they don't need to be electronics and fancy.. like the Persuader for example.

The Ghostbusters Haslab was a cosplay item though.. so the patches make a bit more sense since they can be added to a costume. They make zero sense with the Rattler.

Do you think we could get a 'retro' vehicle release? Retro Vamp perhaps? Explosion artwork box w/ modified greens on Clutch. Laser Guns. No Tats.

I'm waiting for a real retro Zartan with the swamp skiier. Color change, with Chameleon.

Sadly I don't see it happening. I can't wrap my head around why this hasn't been done (maybe not color change, but the vehicle at least). Seems like it would be an easy $55 set.

Maybe if I make every post about that the people reading here will actually do it.

I think the Wolverine can be a regular Hasbropulse release. It's a small tank.

I think the same of the Mobat. I think the MAULER is the haslab.

But my money will be on the skystriker.

Don't forget *unless they have a change in policy" the next Gi Joe "brand" Haslab in 2025 will be "Gi Joe Faction" (as they alternate).

They also said they try to cover all the "types of vehicles"
which is why I hope people who are asked in any consultations please push for the Hydrofoil for 2026 Haslab.

So yeah the obvious choices for 2025 would be some sort of TANK or the WHALE.
But I can't help but think the Whale is a hard ask in sheer mass even if the footprint isn't much different from the Rattler with the wings extended.

I don't think anyone wants that to be $700 but $500 ? $450 ? 425 ?

A Mauler or MBT is the safe an easy Choice.. but the advantage of NOT having the MBT be Haslab is it makes it way easier to do the CAT, CAT II or even a desert one.

I do kinda wonder if they might actually want to do an entirely new tank... they just might not have the guts to do so.

As I've said before I think it might have some argument to be made for finding a partner in the electronic toy or radio control sector and letting them make the vehicles that would benefit from being electronic or RC.. and instead do something out of left field for the Haslab like a Crusader Space Shuttle. (no launch system obviously - just the shuttle) I think there is some arguments to make a space Haslab.

Of course if they want to go really nuts they can make that Star Brigade Robot too. (at huge risk)

I just see a better path to making Tanks than using Haslab for it.
The Tomahawk would be nice but kinda unwieldy & almost impossible to store for anyone who doesn't live in a giant house though unfortunately.

There just seems to be more obvious choices for Cobra for many more years to often the Gi Joe choices are not iconic enough or could reasonably be released "as is as a Hasbro Pulse exclusive" i.e. the X-20 Conquest being an obvious one they'd be shooting themselves in the foot to do as a Haslab and make a fortune on repaints if they do it normally.

I just can't see the point of something like the Mobile Battle Bunker for example being a Haslab - but I can seeing it selling reasonably fine as a normal release.

I believe the patches were part of the offering right? Not an actual unlock tier?

The last part you said. Just makes no sense. I have not seen any explanation from the Hasbro team either regarding them and they were mentioned plenty in the stream live comments.

I'm excited that we might start getting some Comic Book inspiration into the line. Someone posted a close-up of Baroness in flight suit... and her underlying body has the padded collar and detailing that looks inspired by her first appearances in the comic. Clearly a comic-inspired Baroness is coming.

Retro Zartan with Swamp Skier would be great. As good as all of the previous Zartans have been - there is still room for a Zartan redo. Maybe less bulky and dark? Add clear blueish see-through panels for this chest and legs - like the original figure.

The GB patches were simply part of each tier. One patch per tier. But the tiers also included other things besides that like holsters for the trap and PKE meter.
