Well, not really. But check this out:

Look familiar?

I was expecting something chrome, but I understand what you are talking about with the other smaller tank.

That is an interesting place in the link, I have never seen it before. All the MASK boxes pictured, and the Thundercats headquarters. I never heard of a Castle Eternia playset, very exciting.

Yeah I remember the huge Eternia City playset, but never just a Castle Eternia... mainly what I remember about it was the skycar thing that was the Eternian mass transit monorail

That Eternia playset is a rarity to be sure. About 10 years ago I found one at a garage sale, about 95% complete. I took it to a convention at the Shrine in LA, and sold it before I even got it completely out of the truck.

Hah, yeah, I noticed that too.

Sgt. Thunderblast? OH MY GOD.

That is the most epic combination of "adding a rank prefix to the name" and Blastification I have ever laid eyes upon!!!!

Any place that carries StarCom is cool by me. Too bad they only have 1 item in stock.

Maybe he got busted? sex, drugs, alchohol.....??
Maybe he got out, and then returned to service and could only enlist?
Maybe he voluntarily gave up his commision to return to enlisted? Wasn't he an OCS guy on his filecard?

I knew a guy that went to OCS with me and I later saw him as an SGT/E-5, he had given up his commision, he was just more suited to being an NCO than an officer. He was much happier too. It is a big Army, it takes all types.

OR......

Maybe it is a deception technique to confuse Cobra intel on ranks, command structure, etc..
this would explain Gen Tomahawk, LT Torpedo (WO), and more.
By golly, this should earn me a NO-PRIZE if it was during the marvel run.........

Well, the use of the prefix alone wouldn't bother me...

It's the combination of that practice, plus the practice of Blastification that's astonishing to see.

Sgt. Thunberblast. Holy crap, I'm with Jay on the blastification reaction, that name is so stupid and over-the-top it hurts.


The Dead-Eye is about 8 times cooler the "amored Panther" in every way.

I think that vehicle was leaked quite a few months ago. I remember some of the conversations about "Thunder" as he was called at the time and the tank having spring-loaded missiles.

I wonder how the development timelines of each match up. Which came first? Most likely Hasbros but it would be a neat little nugget of fan info if they "copied" the idea from the Canadians.

I remeber seeing pics of this set on the site that will not be named around X-mas. I liked the look of Thunder, but not too thrilled with the tank. Still feel that way now, though I like the custom someone did of Thunder using the Hiss Driver torso better.

Yeah, there have been pics of that around for a while. Now if they release a special edition chrome HISS, you should send them a C&D
