Ah. I hadn't caught any other mention of that during the live stream. Thanks.

I am fairly certain that all of the unlocks are going to be tank parts, though- it says right on the Haslab page in the "unlocks" section that "Scrap Iron and I are devising upgrades to expand its destructive capabilities". I hope whatever's next has some wow-factor. While I'm perfectly fine with what's come so far, none of it really blows me away the way that the Galactus tiers must have for those that were interested.

Gotcha. I haven't been keeping up with any other speculation. While I'm not exactly wowed by tier 2, I do like the missile racks. But really, I'm mostly indifferent as I would have bought the HISS regardless. As for Galactus, two tiers were new-to-the-line figures, which we are technically getting with the HISS already (granted, the driver being a necessary part of the base offering). The final Galactus unlock was nothing less than a gag gift as far as I'm concerned. To be fair, though, I don't think they had planned a fourth unlock and only caved as more people bitched.
