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]
