Wow, that looks good. It looks like a Terminator Sentry robot on steriods.

This is not a custom yet, it is straight out of the box. It  is next on the list to be customized.

I have been thinking about this vehicle for a while. I think the body can be separated from the tracks and used as a space ship. Then you can use the tracks on some other vehicle, like maybe an original hiss tank to give it actual rolling treads. Or put them on a van, and make a Jawa Sand Crawler Scout ......... I think there is much work to do. What do you think?

Sorry Vader9900. I thought it was a new custom. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Finished the bottom part & the guns today, even weathered the treads. Got the cab apart and will spray it up tomorrow.

I'm still so iffy on that thing, the angle the pic in this thread is more flattering than many I have seen, but from above I don't think it looks near as cool.

Oh who am I kidding, I have every hiss since version one (even the crappy brown one that had a pop up head) and I will probably get this one.

I am looking for another one of these gatling guns. I have no idea who it came with, it was originally black with grey barrels. I can buy or trade. What figure did this come with? Please let me know if anyone has an extra you are willing to part with. Thanks, D

Thanks, I just found out it came with this: Star Wars Saga 2008 Exclusive Order 66 Action Figure 2-Pack Tsui Choi & Barc Trooper

If anyone has the gun to trade or for sale, please let me know.

My son pointed out the hull looks quite a bit like a scaled-down Cobra Gunship when I unpacked mine.  (also from a TRU)  Lots of potential with this - looking forward to the next Ghost-Hawk release, too!  (EE claims them as in-stock - a Ghost-Hawk and a Doom Cycle that just screams SWOOPBIKE PLEASE!!!)
