As I accumulate more and more Vipers, I started to think about Cobra's lack of ground troop transports. The HISS II only carries four pax, not including the 3 crewmen, and the HISS IV probably doesn't carry more than four either. The 2005 HISS looks like it maybe has room for 6 ARAH, but this is probably the largest transport Cobra has.
So I'm wondering what other Tankers have used for AVCs (Armored Viper Carriers) or VFVs (Viper Fighting Vehicles). Do you convert the Joe's APC or Warthog or Mobile Command Center? Have you customized another 1/18 scale vehicle like BBI's LAV-25 or Unimax's M3A2 Bradley? What's the ultimate Cobra ground transport? |

I was wondering the same thing myself. The 25th anniversary Cobra vehicles can't carry many figures; neither can the ROC vehicles, as far as I can tell. I'd really be interested to know what other collectors are using to transport Cobra troops. I'd love to see some pictures.

I know someone on here tricked out a RHINO in Cobra colors and it came out pretty sweet.

Turbo Tank and AT-TE; and maybe The Clone Wars Gunship though I am using that as the ride for the Joe Alpha Team (Reactive Armor figures). I'm in the process of trying to attach wheels to the AT-TE. At first I figures of just drilling small holes in the front and back upper legs and running an axle through and putting on some wheels from a model Truck. I'm holding of at the moment because, I trying to see if I can score some Cobrat Stum wheels because it would be cool of have the Cobra Sigil Hubcaps.

Well the B.A.T transport vehicle makes an excellent transportation vehicle. I do wish they would design a new transport, and on a side note, the transport helio, that is always present in marvel series GI joe run.

^This. Yeah, this transport kicks ass. Makes me wish I had an extra RHINO and some spare time.
