Destro and the HISS are certainly a memorable combination to fans of the Marvel GI Joe comic. The Cobra Commander/Destro/Baroness triangle came to a head in a scene that prominently featured the Cobra high speed tank. In this coloring book page, Destro can’t wait to get the HISS into action.

by KansasBrawler While this pairing may require you to buy two sets, I was really impressed at how good the HISS Tank (from the Arashikage Dojo) set and the ASP (from the Ghoststriker X-16 set) looked when paired up. As such, I like keeping them together. Plus, on its own,…

”Maybe, Cobra Commander did not like Destro turning his back on Cobra, and forming his own Army, The Iron Grenadiers.Cobra Commander probably thought Destro was going to use the blueprints for The 1983 H.I.S.S.,and then create the 1989 Cobra H.I.S.S. 2 as a new/improved model, for The Iron Grenadiers.Image a Red/Black /Gold version of the H.I.S.S. 2 -for The Iron Grenadiers?”
”Along with the 1983 H.I.S.S. Tanks, throw in some 1986 Cobra STUNS in as well, Destro.”
And don’t forget the Stinger. And also, the F.A.N.G. the 86 Night Raven, and the Gyrocopter, for air support. And, they all match nicely.
It’s a death trap, Destro! Cobra’s never won any battles with that thing!! I don’t even know how old number 788 survives!
