Look awesome, except the Ice Sabre re-use. I so want too army build that Motor-Viper (or whatever they will call him) with the SUV.

not too keen on the raven remould and the truck looks a little too chunky, esp as the figurews look pretty realistic...

The jeep is a bit like the MASK vehicle Jackhammer, it's rear section raises up and has rockets or something like that, but yeah, looked odd compared to the other vehicles in the line

I see some great custom Fodder for these guys. I'll need like 15 Marlon Ripcords, They'll make great Coil Troopers!

That SUV is just plain stupid! Cobra needs over the top vehicles like Pogos, Fangs and Stuns, not some pimped-up crap from reality. :-|

The Raven looks as if it was washed too hot: "Honey, I shrunk the Raven!"

Looks like product placement to me - sad fact of Hollywood these days - who paid most for the inclusion of their product.

Same with Transformers - Bumblebee getting pimped out to the highest bidder. :evil:

I doubt it. The American economy is f*cked up, car industry is at all time low. Big cars are no longer in demand. Product placement that fits the time we are living in, would be a Cobra Aygo! ;)

The H2 is just plain stupid. Every little child knows an H2 is not even close capable of what a Humvee could do.

I hate the fact that what started out as a fantastic military vehicle was ruined, and then made even worse by the fact that the only ones you seem to see here these days are stretched, and painted white, with gaggles of spoiled 14 year old girls hanging out of the windows having a "birthday treat".

I'd love an original Humvee, but I have a bloody good rant everytime I see the ruined stretched H2's. Talk about defeating their original purpose. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Blame 50 Cent and all the other off white rappers!

The word fantastic is a little too much for the H1. You are only capable of invading a country providing there are enough petrol stations. Fantastic only counts for the good old Defender. :D

H2 never started of as a military vehicle. From the beginning it has been a consumer bling vehicle.
