I just happened upon this site showing a group of cosplayers dressed as the Dreadnoks, but the amazing thing is their Thunder Machine.

I wish there were more, better pictures of it without people standing in front of it. It looks really impressive, and not a small undertaking.

That's amazing. I heard years back that someone was working on one of these, but I never thought I'd actually see it completed. Assuming this is the same one, of course.

Well, if you're going to customize a full-size G.I. Joe vehicle, why not base it on one that more or less WAS a custom! :D

I mentioned that before ( I think ) But noone listens to me...
I know the builder and most of the Dreadnoks, here's a couple of FB albums.

I thought I had more of the parade route saved, maybe just not uploaded to Photobucket. If you wanna see something specific, I can probably find it.

Thanks for sharing these Zarana-X. Your friend's album must be friends only because it says not found when I clicked on it.

They look like they are having a blast but to be honest I'm not as intimidated by these guys as I would imagine.

As cosplay goes, they did a very capable job. Road Pig in particular. The Thunder Machine is very impressive!
