I can see this panning out to be true.

So they can determine which features people would like. But to keep people guessing as to what the Haslab will be, they include a few other option vehicles just to make it a mystery.

I don't think anyone has suggested the Armadillo as a Haslab. Someone mentioned the Mauler with Heavy Metal and an Armadillo with Steeler. I don't think they meant the Armadillo as part of the Haslab. It can be a retail release, and they can throw in a tank driver who wasn't part of the Haslab.

I have suggested it in the past, but because of the one from the Gunship Battle crossover:

Hmm. I wonder how often the focus group is in-line with HissTank.

I have no intent to, but think they would struggle to pull that off with substantial time gaps between preorder dates.

HAVOC
MAULER
MORAY
WHALE

No matter what the 2025 HasLab is - I see any option falling much further below the sales figures of the HISS, DRAGONFLY, and RATTLER. I think all of these would fund... but I don't think any of them are going to reach the 24K level of final figures. Half that, maybe?

I think the Whale could do very well as an iconic GI Joe vehicle.

[Mister Hiss]

The Whale would be cool. I'm a figure-only guy. I gave my Vamp to my kid to play with and will do the same with the Stinger. All other Haslab biggies I get the figures off eBay. But yeah, a Whale would be so cool to see made. I'd imagine Hasbro wants to do the tank though so they can make it move and up the price.

, no night raven give is pilots, no defiant give us payload ?right? , i want a clssified tollbooth & thunder real bad ,we did get copperhead which i thought was weird since WM wouldnt be that much bigger than the vamp but it would have to be longer more like a cigarette boat .. or make the joes a pt style boat so they have something till the whale maybe gets made

Amen! I want all of the vehicle drivers/pilots just as much as the regular figures in Classified.

Well now I am on a mission to find a nice goliath scorpion that will look good with a Classified Desert Scorpion! I do think they will probably go with the mech-style scorpion for Classified.

Pretty much! They should design and write detailed file cards (just use the originals) and link them via the QR code on the boxes. Many people have suggested this, not sure why they haven't done it by now.

What?s being rumored as being dropped?

[SlackerViper]

I am not backing a ridiculous looking vehicle like the Havoc and I know a LOT of people who think the same.
