Habro had a big 40th anniversary livestream today and besides the Classified reveals they showed off a couple new O-ring offerings that this crowd seems more interested in. First is a Cobra 2-pack with an Officer and Trooper. Done in the same style as the Snake-eyes and Storm Shadow pack - classic vintage O-ring style, carded figures in a fancy box with a smaller box full of accessories. Preorder is now available. https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new ... per-2-pack And last is the G.I.Joe / Transformers Megatron HISS Tank with Baroness. This is a full size vintage style HISS Tank that is FULLY transformable into Megatron AND fits vintage 3 3/4" O-ring figures like the included Baroness in the cockpit, gunner seat and footpegs on the bumper. It is the same size and scale as the vintage HISS Tank. Yeah the robot form is clunky but its a transforming HISS Tank that people have been wanting for decades. They gunner seat even fits a figure in 'bot form so you can have Megatron with Cobra Commander on his back screaming orders. https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new ... d-baroness |

That was a huge reveal. I've wanted this for sooooo long. I hope it does well enough for them to push out a few more. At the very least a VAMP Hound to balance it out for the Joes. Holy poopsticks, if they did Optimus as the APC or something like that I'd...I don't know what. |

That Megatron is something I want so badly but probably will not get. If they announce others, though... I'll have to get them all. |

Fark you rat bastards for making this RAH-compatible. I've never seen a company so eagerly push their customer base away. |

Wow... making it actually fit a figure is pretty amazing. |

I am interested in that Fail-Safe figure. I can't confirm it's coming with the HasPul Slystriker (which I backed) or whether it is an additional price. |

I do not need a Baroness  Megatron as a HISS Tank, I guess is OK I would be more interested in a Hound VAMP or Jetfire Skystriker. |

Oddly enough, a lot of the O-ring purists are only interested in this set for her and talking about how the market will be flooded with Megatron Hisses. :shrugs: |

I don't think Megatron HISS is worth that much especially with all those gaps showing. |

80$ is insanely accurate for this. Considering Baroness single carded would be, what, $25? And Megatron at that scale on its own would be about $50...then the HISS pieces.... I honestly expected 100$ at least for it. |

I'm stoked for this set, can't wait to see who they do next. |
