That Cyclone Armor is well on its way to being Hiryu's newest plaything. :D

I hope that's a complement :)

this is got to be one of the coolest things in the line yet.



some what better picture at toy newsi

Nope, it's a compliment.

But that Cyclone Armor will complement Hiryu's arsenal nicely. :p


Perfect.

I just want to know what the head beneath the helmet looks like.

I have no clue but I think it fitting the the pilot has a oriental name.

G.I. Joe Cycle Armor with Ashiko

The Hiss tank that is shown seems to have rubber treads too. It's odd but cool looking at the same time

I've seen little that interests me. I might still get the Fury and Snowcat, but I've seen those already. The scout Hiss looks stupid, the Ice Cutter so limited in function that I can't see much use for it and the new HISS...maybe. I've never gotten into modern era figures mainly due to scale, and they seem to get taller every year.

I totally understand Hasbro's marketing plan, ride the movie style's and lead characters, but I think you'll see some of the 25th "modern era" fans, the fly-by-night-only-in-it-for-nostalgia-crowd, lose interest and dump their past 2 1/2 year purchases on ebay. That's become a cycle for GI JOE anyway.

That Joe Cyclone resembles the Robotech Cyclone.

I think I will be buying at least one to try out, being a big time Robotech fan.

The HISS tank doesn't look so good as the first/traditional version, but I do like it. Not like it as the first version though. But this does have potential as something kinda automated, like a single person HISS. Something for harsh environments, etc. Might get a few, but won't army build as I was doing with the 25A version.

(except I think I read that it's a woman...)

I'm trying to figure out where I fit in this spectrum. I'm certainly not fly-by-night -- I've been into G.I. Joe for many years, and I have no intention of ever getting rid of my 25th stuff (just as I never got rid of my ARAH stuff when JvC started, and I never got rid of my JvC stuff when 25th started).

However, at this point I really only care about Joes that look like the originals. I have minimal interest in anything movie-related, aside from certain new characters (I bought Sgt. Stone, and I plan to get Helix if I ever find her). Really, my only interest is, and always has been, new/updated versions of the 1982-85 cast -- the stars of the cartoon and the best years of the comic. Anything else, I can take it or leave it -- and I usually leave it!

So what does that make me? I think if I had to label myself, I'm loyal to the characters from my favorite years of the line, rather than to the line itself. I'm the same way with Transformers, too -- I have barely a passing interest in most things post-1985 (except for the core '86 characters), but I am a huge fan of anything that falls into the years that I like!

The Mospeada Ride Armor was a noted inspiration for the Cycle Armor.

Ashiko reuses a lot of Mercenary Wraith's parts, however he features new armor and new hips to attach the motorcycle armor. Given his pseudo-Japanese name (an Ashiko is actually an african drum, but like Kamakura indicates Hasbro SUCKS at Japanese-y names) I'm expecting Hard Master's head under that helmet.

That's cool :) as big Robotech/Macross/Mospeada fan I highly approve :D

Over at Hiss-tank some have mentioned that Ashiko is Jinx's real name. Don't know if that's true


also isn't "Ashiko" Japanese name for ninja type foot spikes?

I can't sleep that's why i'm post at 5.00 am :(

oh anyone else feel that the HIss had Battery operated tracks ?? somthing i've always wanted for my hiss tanks !!!

the head undereath the bike rider is Jinx as is her name attached to the set !!!
