King of like the Hiss, but not a fan of the Vamp, ah well.

that Hiss does look mighty impressive does it not :) I suspect that Vamp. may be a Partiot Jeep replacment !!

The Hiss looks like a piece of fragile sci-fi junk, but the Vamp looks promising. I just hope Hasbro doesn't ruin it by going silly with bright colours.

I like them both. The HISS looks like the HISS from Resolute and the video game, a design I love. Actual rolling tracks? About damn time!

The Vamp looks closer to its inspiration vehicle. Ity looks like there may be four seats in it, a bit more realistic.

I'm about done with my collection, but I may snag these guys when they are released.

Yeah Im with outrider on this! It might be the picture but that hiss looks really crappy IMO! Looks like a prototype that one would build and then when the field tests come it does really poorly! From a military point of view that cobra stance would make it weak and vulnerable to attack one Molotov or bazooka to the mid section when in that stance and boom! The jeeps alright! Come on hasbro put out something worth buying! re do the dreadnok assualt land and air vehicles! or the arbco 18 wheelers that the twins always traveled in! Don't get mad its my opinion!

And yet, the driver of this new HISS is fully-protected, rather than there being only a glass windshield between a bullet and his head. :p

I honestly don't see what's so wrong with this HISS. It's more heavily armed than any of its predecessors, with more practical weapons, and it's sleek and light like a HIgh-Speed Sentry should be.


The new jeep is so great. It takes all that made the VAMP, the Desert Fox and the Night Ops Humvee great and mashes them all into one ass-kicking machine!

Agreed, it's good to have the driver fully protected, that's something I wish Hasbro had done since day one. In this case it won't make any difference when he's driving such a fragile looking "tank".

I like how both vehicles look.

For my Cobra's, the new HISS looks lighter than the classic HISS. So I plan to use the classic for the serious hitting power. The new one looks more automated, which I like. It also looks to have the ability to have weapon systems added on... there's these hole things which I haven't seen elsewhere except on the Rhino where missile pods and guns can be connected to.

The new VAMP/jeep thing looks useful. Not as special ops as the classic VAMP, but certainly will be useful for my Joes and will play a more varied role than the two-seater VAMP.

But there will always be the classic VAMP for my Joes.
