It's called the Ripsaw and it is BADASS! Can you seriously look at that and NOT think of a HISS? Manufacturer website here: http://www.howeandhowe.com/ I want one! |

The first video especially looks like a HISS. It looked like all it needed was armor, and a missile turret. It lost some of it's HISSitude, after they lowered the top of it. |

VL, Just imagine if they combined the Ripsaw with their PAV 1.2 tank armor on top. That would be the icing on the "HISS". http://www.howeandhowe.com/pav2_pics.html |

That is pretty neat. gives a nice perspective as to how a real hiss tank would roll... makes it all the more ominous since i originall has the hiss a slow and never thought of it as something like that. |

HIgh Speed Sentry indeed. Maybe Spy Troops wasn't far off when they made the Patriot Grizzly do a wheelie. Plate that thing up, give it a turret, and you're ready to go. |

That thing is DEAD on. The Ripsaw is somewhat less perfect in shape (Especially the second version like Greyryder said) but the high speed, sloped front, and angled tracks are perfect. After seeing those videos I'll never look at a HISS the same way again. |

.....that vehicle is incredible. The only thing that i believe would make it superior is the ability to land upside down and not miss a beat with regard to function. The lowered top and high wheelies made that come to mind immediately (second video). |

That thing is just all sorts of cool. They should get that team to build the HISS tanks for the GI Joe sequel so that the tanks didn't have to be CGI. I see a lot of the HISS in there but the lower profile and the sleeker look might make for a really nice update. Ah now if I just wasn't broke and I could afford one because you'd be the envy of every off road nut out there. After seeing that thing I bet my brother would go home and kick his four wheeler. |

Seeing the Ripsaw in action makes me appreciate the upcoming ROC HISS even more, with its sleek aerodynamic design and lighter armaments. This isn't going to be Cobra's main battle tank anymore. |
