I just won a factory sealed earthquake (cobra construction-like vehicle) on ebay; I'm really excited as I love powerful looking vehicles but I keep hearing that earthquake is huge. is it true? this may present a problem as I'm almost out of toy space in my room. I've seen the pics at yojoe, etc but can anyone who has the toy take a pic of it next to a couple of figures so I see the scale comparison? thanks.

Outrider It's been a great ride!

I don't know if that helps or not! __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

The worst thing about it (other than it's LOUD neon colors) are it's dimensions! Still, I like it! It's actually just a bucket loader with missiles and guns....but being a former Combat Engineer, I really DIG that!! Pardon the Pun!

Yeah, she's fairly beefy! I won two on ebay (missing the yellow missiles in the back) for $20.00. They go great as Combat Engineer Vehicles for Techno Vipers.

Just FYI....

During the 1991 Gulf War, some combat engineers were supporting a Tank Battalion that was tasked with attacking an entrenched network. The Iraqi's got holed up in bunkers connected by trenches, and the tanks couldn't get up close enough to engage the Iraqis without endangering the tank crews. The Iraqi's weren't putting up much resistance, but they weren't coming out of their bunkers, either! The tank crews were stymied....until a Corporal in the combat engineer got an idea and took an M-9 ACE (Armoured Combat Earthmover ....a big armoured bulldozer) and plowed over one of the bunkers burying 9 Iraqis alive! The other 50 or so immediately came out with there hands in the air!!!
