Prototypes of new VAMP and HISS tank show up

[Galactic_Emperor]

I just found this in the Terror Drome forums and I thought I would share the discovery with you...

That Vamp looks like something from the CORPS line.

I think that HISS tank blows, but the original was IMO one of the best looking toys ever, so I'm probably biased, hehe.

The Vamp...meh, I'm not impressed, but I'm not offended either hehe.

The Vamp has potential, but the HISS is horrid. Looks like they took the gunship and added treads.

I've also found some info on the new HISS*:

- There are three modes, high-speed, stealth, and moving turret attack mode
- Pressing a button will cause the HISS to “spring up” like a cobra
- Moving treads and the top cannon rotates 360 degrees
- Handgrips under the chassis for Joes to grab onto (inspired by the Pyramid of Darkness cartoon)
- Two opening cockpits, one in front and one that flips down in the back
- Cockpit is opaque, not clear, HISS driver uses cameras to see
- Both cannons rotate independently, but also have a feature that spins them both simultaneously
- Customizable sticker sheets to create a fleet of HISS Tanks with unique identifiers

That new VAMP looks ok, can't wait to see final pic of it. Don't know who the driver is, but he looks good. The Joes could always use another realistic looking combat vehicle. The new HISS is real iffy....I'd rather just get that Snow HISS that never made it to retail earlier this year, myself.

I'd rather have the VAMP Mark 2.

[SSIntimidator]

HISS sucks.

[Jason73]

HISS sucks.

I agree. Definite pass.

I dunno... I think the HISS looks unique enough. It seems like I'm the only one in the Pros corner on this. Interesting design, it shouldn't considered a replacement of the original- an upgrade perhaps, the whole detachable copter idea's kinda neat. If it has actual moving treads instead of rolling wheels under facade treads, I'm there.
As for the new VAMP, looks cool, but almost like they reused the mold of that HUMMER that came out in like 1990, with a new rear weapon instead of the missile rack. If that's what it is, then come on- use some originality here, Hasbro.
