PSA: Orange Cream Coke is basically Vanilla Coke with a hint of orange. Tasty.

I only recall him from the movie.
Did he have a better role in the comics?

Copperback and a Swamp-Viper would be great but Hasbro would have to act fast and get the traditional WM out there for Copperhead. He's much too good of a figure to not let him have his vehicle for those who want one.

I had forgotten how good of a figure that ver 5 or IG MJR BLUDD really was it?s been years . I wouldn?t mind having him or 2-4 as well since those 2 are the same sculpt anyways . Ther really are some bangers still out there hoping to be remade ..

Also I would buy a WM stand alone or w/figures .

I still think the $150 red item is the fire at with a hooded coco and AVAC

Not that I recall but it always bugged me he didn't get a regular o-ring release other than that exclusive Mercer repaint. He could be done really well in Classified. I want to be able to display the Rawhides together with Beach Head.

It is a small shame the Ferret didn't have its own hitch be it a male one on the back or a female one on the front, I hope the AWE Striker is given one and I also hope that the Stun & Thunder Machine gets one too if they make those.

I guess the two loop on the Bumper of the Stinger and Vamp can be used to allow them to be towed though themselves (should there be a reason to do that - such as battlefield recovery or a Stinger by a HISS tank is perfectly possible with some thick string or chain standing in for rope.
Though I wouldn't want to put that much stress on those little loops myself other than to take a photo say & not actually try to drag it around by the loops.

The Tow hitch on the Stinger (and the Vamp) work just fine for the HMS Missile Trailer just as the Hitch on the Hiss Tank also does - so I presume A Vampe would be fine dragging a Hal or a Mountain Howitzer around too with it's hitch connector (Heck even Coastal Defense wouldn't be completely terrible).


I can only guess but I can't see any reason that the next towable we get would be anything other than an MMS (in green).. that might make some sense if they held back a little bit on that at least until they can do another run of VAMP anyway.

After seeing the movie back then my best friend and I both expected big lob but crickets on him and pythona 2 of my favorite new characters and nothing for 25 plus years .. and the pythona we did get was terrible minus the head and big lob was like you said just a repaint which was just as bad if not worse than the pythona we did get ..

We did get Hardball though. I treated them as the same character, with Hardball constantly referring to himself in the third person.

I guess that crowd grew into those who put Jolly Ranchers in their Zima.

Back in the day kids around here really believed if you drank soda with pop rocks in it your head would explode. I think it was diet Coke in particular? We'd all dare each other to do it and I don't remember anyone trying.

I guess we were all just stupid.

I love root beer, especially A&W, Mug, some one off specialty ones, I dont mind Dr. Pepper, my brother lives on that.

I miss Crystal Clear Pepsi, tbh. It probably couldn't even been made now, it was so, soooo sweet, probably had way more sugar than any of us should ever have drank lol

Several tankers, like myself, questioned the same thing that you are, why pay for this information when everyone ends up hearing the same rumors/leaks anyways? The tankers that pay for this information do so because they enjoy hearing the leaks early and they enjoy listening to the podcast. It's definitely not for me, but to each his own. I do not think that you will get FOMO by not paying for this podcast, I'm not paying for it and I feel no FOMO. I stated yesterday that when Hasbro officially reveals the product we all see it and know at the same time, so leaks and speculation do not interest me at all unless I'm reading them here on the tank as part of our normal discourse.

"is someone going to do the rest of us a solid and post that info here?" This was also discussed yesterday and from what I gathered by reading all of the posts, they will probably not be sharing, but also not confirming nor denying any speculation that us non-podcast listeners make. I could be wrong though, so I just want to state that. Anyone please correct me if anything above is incorrect.

Got it, thanks for the catch-up. Shame the info won't get disseminated down, but so be it.

We've got and/or are getting all the Rawhides except Big Lob at this point, it's his time. We've got Chuckles, Tunnel Rat, two Beachheads, Law & Order is coming, Jinx is here, Falcon and a fixed Falcon Head have arrived... We're probably going to get Mercer, Taurus, and Red Dog before we see Big Lob, but I kinda hope I'm wrong.
