Sentinel 1 Combat Trike review

Sentinel 1
Combat Trike

The Combat Trike is a neat little attack vehicle that includes two side cannons and a missile launcher with 3 rockets. The only feature that moves on this vehicle are the wheels the rest is stationary. The Combat Trike is part of the Sentinel 1 series found at Toys R Us, it does have the Chap Mei stamp on the vehicle however the figure included with it does not. The figure is your standard military soldier with 9 points of articulation he includes a weapon tree and dog tag that says Sentinel 1 stamped on it. The vehicle itself holds any 4" figure GI Joe, Corps you name it. It is a good medium sized weapon to bulk up your military forces.

Interesting. Is this "True Heroes" thing a new Chap Mei line ? The packaging is very reminiscent of their other lines; you say the vehicle is Chap Mei; the weapons tree is also a classic Chap Mei model. I've just never seen them make figures like this.

Wow, it reminds me of the old LCV recon sled. I think it makes for a good update. While my brother never really liked the recon sled, and he has a point that it looks very sci-fi, but even so I think it has its uses in GI Joe.

That's an interesting vehicle. I was never a fan of "prone operator" vehicles for some reason. Even the Night Raven, which I liked, had the drone where the operator was on their belly.

Kinda cool, may have to get a couple!

I think these new vehicle lines are part of the Soldier Force series Chap Mei makes. The recent figures to be released have more articulation. Toys R Us sells the figures under a different name.

easily my favorite true heroes vehicle! heck it might even be my favorite chap mei vehicle. it's just perfect. cool paint job, sleek design, guns, rockets, big wheels especially that double front wheel, cleverly hidden handlebars, lots of secure space for the driver (really dig the foot rests), and it's perfect for Corps figures. definitely picking up at least 3 of these. also, this vehicle reminds me of the bat pod from the dark knight. also reminds me of the at-war cycle from fearless forces. thanks for the review.
