Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member boothj for posting up images of his Crystal Ball Master Of Propaganda Custom.

"This is my take on him, in my verse he is a desert shaman/prophet. think Nostradamus meets Rasputin. He is heavily involved with the Cobra Command inner circle. He is also Cobra Commander's Dr. of Propaganda; if he can't get you with flyers, and movies, he uses his shield for hypnotize and brainwash you."

We've got some more information for the upcoming GI Joe Battleground by Mobage, courtesy of Kotaku. Mobage is the same company behind the Transformers Legends game for iOS, Android, et al. So if you've played those games, that'll give you a taste of what this game will be like.

Now onto the new info, as Kotaku's Mike Fahey interviewed David Phan of Mobage earlier this week:

• GI Joe Battleground is the 1st mobile game based on the cartoon(Sunbow GI Joe A Real American Hero cartoon)
• Aiming to include "every character from the series that's ever had an action figure"
• 1st time players will be able to play either as GI Joe or Cobra
• Fahey states that "I was told it played a bit like Blood Brothers, another DeNA collectible strategy RPG. There'll be player-vs.-player combat, Cobra-vs.-Joe worldwide events, but it'll be more of a management game that an actual role-playing title."
• Old classic file cards by Larry Hama retained
• Apparently Hit & Run got his nickname since his parents were killed by a drunk driver
• "Battleground will launch with more than 100 characters from the various G.I. Joe cartoons, with regular updates planned until all 300-400 characters are represented."

Excited for the game? Share your thoughts with us!... [Read More]

Thanks to HISSTANK.com staff member A.V.A.C. for posting up his custom Broadcast Energy Transmitter or B.E.T! The images attached to the news story are images I took from JoeCon 2013, but A.V.A.C. has also posted up his own - including parts images.

"This was a commissioned piece that I took on, with a lot of hesitation to be honest at first. It had to be more or less scratch built with found parts and styrene from the ground up to be done right, seeings how I was basically making a vehicle portrait. I did add the rotating feature on the upper housing. In the cartoon it only shoots the emitter beam from one position. This B.E.T. rotates all around except above the cockpit. The most difficult and time consuming part of the build was developing the axle system and making it strong enough to roll, but support the weight as well. I ended up using a closed duel axle system that links up with RC rubber tires and I'm glad I did, she ended up weighing in at just under 9 pounds."

Thanks to HISSTANK.com board member Dusty79 for posting up images of his Renegades Style Skidmark.

No one would ever suspect the duality that lies within Skidmark. Whenever you meet him, he is annoyingly polite and so well-groomed he puts everyone to shame. He has an extreme keen sense for detail that borders on the obsessive-compulsive. You can expect his equipment and station to be just as spotless and clear from any detritus. The difference happens when you put behind anything with a steering wheel and the mild-mannered boy scout becomes a hellion on the road.

It's not very often that we get to see the designs created behind the scenes for movies. Today we get to see GI Joe Retaliation designs created by Cunningham Industrial Design. To say that there's a lot to see here would be an understatement. More on the work by CID:

Cunningham was initially hired by Paramount to design the new Cobra Hiss Tank, which included blue-sky conceptual development, multiple design iterations, and close collaboration with the vehicle Art Director and Production Designer.

Several constraint systems were in play for this project including operational feasibility, as the tank was constructed on an existing treaded vehicle base, cinematic considerations put forth by the Director, and marketing requirements from Hasbro. Other vehicle concepts included helicopters, fast-attack tanks, and airplane interiors.

When the production moved to New Orleans, he worked extensively with the Property Master to develop dozens of props used in the film including; briefcases, firearms,swords, grenades, soft goods, insect drones, and cosmetics. A fun and diverse experience with an extremely talented group of people.

There are numerous versions of the HISS Tank shown. The Retaliation HISS Tank toy bears some resemblance to 1, if not a few, of CID's designs. In addition to the HISS Tank, the following are also shown:

• Restraint System
• Cobra Surveillance
• Black Tempest
• Firefly's Killjar
• Weapons Harness
• Firefly's Grenade
• Zartan's Display System
• Zartan's Briefcase
• Hair Analyzer
• Archangel Interior
• Cobra Helicopter
• Battle Kata

We've mirrored these images because...like Cobra Commander, we want them all! Read on to check it out.... [Read More]
