Christopher did an amazing work... and made of card and not plastic, showing us that it's possible to create awesome stuff for our joes (and more) without owning a 3D printer... way to go!
This tank is a piece, well done Christopher. And hats off to both you gents! Supporting each of your channels through both of your great works! Love it! 🎉🎉🎉
I should do a video on my collection. So many cool vehicles. Glad this helped you out. GiJoburg did a video on the movie, but totally unrelated to the Kenner toys 😁
Chris rocks! I m the one who has suggested this project. I also suggested a tracked train, hopefully, he will give it a shot. his execution is impressive, as I projected, his mastery of shaping and sculpture is unequalled. I HAD to tell him about my concept, as he was the only guy on u tube to make it happen. hopefully, he will get recognised for his tremendous talent! I foresee that his crafts will someday be worth quite a lot of money, his passion is quite eloquent, Hasbro would do well to check him out. 6' is expensive, they re bound to come back to 3' someday. and, sincerely, we do miss the vehicles of the line. I, myself, started to collect with the mobat. without it, I would probably never started to buy that stuff. thank you for promoting the best artists of the community! and good show!
He really is one of the most talented custom builders out there. I didn't know that he collaborated with someone on the idea. Very cool. Thanks for watching.
The Rage is a wheeled urban tank. No tracks like a true tank. I believe it’s even smaller than the mauler. This tank Christopher created is massive. It’s like the MCC is size. Thanks for watching.
In the show, Cobra actually fielded some crazy stuff like this, Bazooka, Alpine, and Quick-Kick hide underneath a similarly scaled, though less armed giant HISS as it takes them back to a Cobra base after they got separated from the rest of the Joes in the Pyrimid of Darkness mini-series.
Great info, thanks. Quick Kick must have been so cold in that episode. I do like how this toy takes the HISS to another level with an actual battleship turret 😁 Thanks for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch Lol, yeah he just showed up, and was wearing no shirt or shoes for the longest time, somehow did not get frostbite! Show was crazy, but I love it. The giant turret does make that HISS a big problem for GI Joe.
@@ActionRobotPunch Yeah, well it _needs _*_something_* by way of an Akilleez Heel, otherwise COBRA wins. This is an 80s franchise, the bad guys _can't_ win.
One reason I guess why the Germans never built these mega tanks was their awareness of how much fuel it would consume. I saw in a history documentary that tanks like 0:58 would consume in a day what a regular tank would in a week.
That's a really good point. There's so many reasons we don't make land battleships. But it's fun to imagine. I played a game called Ogre as a kid and it was all about a super tank vs normal units. Fun to imagine. Thanks for watching.
I would have almost expected he'd make a "Mega HISS" based on the ones from the GIJoe miniseries "The Dark Pyramid". The size of a building it was itself a mobile base or a landship. More a Destroyer to George's "battleship".
Cool concept, I would definitely love to make something of this caliber in my action figure line but before that I'm gonna start working on either a Iowa-class or Bismarck-class Battleship and a Kiev-class Aircraft Cruiser and eventually a Knox-class Frigate but I definitely will someday try to make one of these and probably use it as a mobile artillery platform and forward operations base and also I'm gonna add more anti-aircraft weaponry such as SAM System's and other guided weapons.
@@ActionRobotPunch but I probably will start off with more smaller classes of ship's such as a Knox-class Frigate or freedom-class littoral combat ship.
@@ActionRobotPunch hay one other thing could you please inform me on what custom that is in 0:30 I would like to know since I just like the look of it.
I don't think so. But google the Jada GiJoe toys. They made some very cool metal versions that are maybe smaller that green army men but similar. Might be 1/35ish?
I think he was going for more of a WWII influence. But a few CWIS mounted on the hull would help for sure. Maybe in the Mega Hiss version 2.0? Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Sounds like this needs to be played out in the sandbox! I think it could go either way. The Mega Hiss has AA but I'd imagine it never being alone. There'd be a group of Stingers pulling ASPs similar to a naval fleet surrounding a carrier. And yeah, you'd want to fight hard for that air superiority. This would be a juicy target for sure, but no more so that the Gi Joe Mobile Command Center or the Defiant. I'm sure one could create many scenarios just around this one mega vehicle...like Snake Eyes sneaking inside to plant a bomb. Thanks for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch Lol it would be fun to see in animated battle. But I would imagine Cobra would be broke. But if the hiss tank was available at retail I think I would go broke too.
Toy Gigante. He has a great youtube channel with some amazing customs. Here's a link. ua-cam.com/video/nAUe01nlhqY/v-deo.html Definitely sub his channel.
Yeah, definitely not real but I bet they could fit an engine in the lower hull and find some space for fuel. Maybe Christopher will do a cross-section? Thanks for watching.
I love his craftsmanship but card board is so fragile. It’s not suitable for play which is a goal of my mods. But I think this could be made with styrene. Gi joe toy line needed this . All the delux vehicles were joes and the super weapons of the cartoon never made it to toys. Cobra commander would definitely want his own RATT tank.
This “mega” hiss looks really silly honestly… not nearly as good as the Hasbro teams one… Plus you can totally tell that these parts were not 3-D printed… Looks silly 👍👍💯
Christopher did an amazing work... and made of card and not plastic, showing us that it's possible to create awesome stuff for our joes (and more) without owning a 3D printer... way to go!
So true. With enough imagination and hard work you can really make anything. 👍
Immediatly realized this thing was essentially a HISS Ratte. it's an awesome concept.
Yeah, he came up with a great concept and executed on it in a great way. Thanks for watching.
This tank is a piece, well done Christopher. And hats off to both you gents! Supporting each of your channels through both of your great works! Love it! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, Eric
impressive, very well done, congratulations
Glad you enjoyed Christopher’s work. Thanks so much.
This mega hiss is so cool. He does some great work! Thanks for recommending Chris to me 👍
Glad you dig his work, Beach. 👍
I wish I had a fraction of you video talent not to mention you own awesome builds... thank you so much for such a great shout out..
I’m excited that this can get more eyes on all the great things you’re making. I’m glad you dig it. 👍
Holy crap you are good at this.. so many views in under a day...
Damn this is going well
Loved that Terror Drome. I've seen his stuff in the past and it's amazing work.
Yeah really great work. 👍
It's a fine piece of work and some interesting tank history, too. I think Baron Ironblood would love a huge Hyena as well 😀
Thanks so much. 👍
That’s one of the coolest custom builds on you tube! Rad!!! Now build one 6 inch scale!
Imagine how big that would be in 1:12th scale! Thanks for watching.
Mathematically it would only be 1.6 times bigger!
What are the basic dimensions right now? I’ll do a mock up just for fun!
Mine will have to be Star Wars related though… Maybe I’ll make it a Jawa battle crawler!
I’ve been subscribed to Christophers channel for a while now. Work is amazing
Oh that's great and yeah, I agree, amazing work. Thanks for watching.
I had been trying to recall what the toy line was for the past two weeks “Mega Force”!
I should do a video on my collection. So many cool vehicles. Glad this helped you out. GiJoburg did a video on the movie, but totally unrelated to the Kenner toys 😁
That is a real piece of art and motivation for us to do our own
🙂
Agreed, really great inspiration. Thanks for watching.
I wish i still had my original g.i joes i had when i was a kid 😢
Yeah they’re really cool toys.
George is so talented and amazing imagination like mine.
Yeah really great designer/builder.
Ah man that’s so sick!
Thanks for watching. He really made something special.
Very cool!!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
AWESOME😎
Wow that is amazing and maybe one day I'll get started on my mega Hiss tank lol
I agree, it’s a great build and I’d love to make my own.
🔥what a build!!!
He really did a great job. Thanks for checking out the video.
Cobra!!!!
Nuff Said!
Thanks!
Wow that is sweet af🙏💯🔥👍🙏💯🔥👍🙏💯🔥👍
Yeah, really great work he does.
Great to see this! I've been watching Christopher's channel for awhile now. Really good stuff. Love your channel too.
That’s great to hear. It was fun to make a video focusing on his work.
Chris rocks!

6' is expensive, they re bound to come back to 3' someday.
and, sincerely, we do miss the vehicles of the line.
I, myself, started to collect with the mobat.
without it, I would probably never started to buy that stuff.
thank you for promoting the best artists of the community!
and good show!

Ha ja ha it's BEAUTIFUL ❤
Great design. I’m amazed what he could do with cardboard.
You and me both!
Cobra already has a massive tank it's called the 1991 Cobra rage look it up it's real the Cobra rage
The Rage is a wheeled urban tank. No tracks like a true tank. I believe it’s even smaller than the mauler. This tank Christopher created is massive. It’s like the MCC is size. Thanks for watching.

I grew up collecting Cobra Vipers!! So nostalgic!
Nice. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ActionRobotPunch Absolutely loved it! Great video!
I would have almost expected he'd make a "Mega HISS" based on the ones from the GIJoe miniseries "The Dark Pyramid". The size of a building it was itself a mobile base or a landship. More a Destroyer to George's "battleship".
Maybe someone will make one of those. I know that this was inspired by the Ratte and it's use of a battleship turret.
@@ActionRobotPunch
Sorry, I meant "The Pyramid of Darkness" not "The Dark Pyramid".

Wow, those are some big plans. A Joe scale battleship sounds amazing.
@@ActionRobotPunch sure they won't be full one-to-one scale but I plan on hopefully even rivaling the USS Flagg.
@@ActionRobotPunch but I probably will start off with more smaller classes of ship's such as a Knox-class Frigate or freedom-class littoral combat ship.
@@ActionRobotPunch hay one other thing could you please inform me on what custom that is in 0:30 I would like to know since I just like the look of it.
Honestly thought the treads were 3-D printed. This is awesome.
Yeah it's pretty amazing work.
Bruh get this guy styrene, plastic weld. And what ever else. Great job
ua-cam.com/video/ZfvtGrhYk0I/v-deo.html
Yeah it's amazing what he does with just paper and cardboard. Super talented and creative.
Very similarly I made a Flagg out of cardboard, since I can’t afford a real one. It’s not quite as long but still huge at 5ft
Wow that's a big project. I bet that was a lot of fun to make. Thanks for watching.
A tank that can take on the Rolling Thunder.
Yeah and it might even take a few Rolling Thunder to beat down this Mega HISS. Thanks for watching.
That’s made out of cardboard and stuff? Wow, that’s impressive. Makes me wanna try making stuff like that from scratch more often.
Yeah it’s pretty amazing. And you should totally go for it. Nothing to lose trying and you’ll learn so much with each project.
Cobra! We don't answer to recoil or ground pressure. ;)
Haha. Yeah there might be a bit of a kick to those cannons. Thanks for watching.
Total WWII German Army vibes
For sure. Thanks.
Very cool. Has anyone ever produced toy soldier size GI Joe figures? By that I mean 1/32 scale figures or vehicle.
I don't think so. But google the Jada GiJoe toys. They made some very cool metal versions that are maybe smaller that green army men but similar. Might be 1/35ish?
Check these out - amzn.to/3lYXoWI
AA positions have too many blindspots. Might i suggest a cwis on top of the turret has the added benefit of reduced crew required. Lol
I think he was going for more of a WWII influence. But a few CWIS mounted on the hull would help for sure. Maybe in the Mega Hiss version 2.0? Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Ah yes the mega tank cool idea untill you remember bombing runs are a thing still cool fan set
My cobra troopers don't miss like the cartoon when they fire
@@christophergeorge5111 can’t hit what you don’t see coming like a sky strike or 3
I'm counting on the Rattlers to be holding air superiority over such a high value target also
@@christophergeorge5111 you can count on them being scarp heaps
Sounds like this needs to be played out in the sandbox! I think it could go either way. The Mega Hiss has AA but I'd imagine it never being alone.

I'm sure one could create many scenarios just around this one mega vehicle...like Snake Eyes sneaking inside to plant a bomb. Thanks for watching.
It looks very cool but it would take one rolling thunder missile to destroy it. However it would be something I would not want to run into as a Joe.
Maybe…but who says there’s only one Mega HISS! Haha. It’d be fun to see these in an animated battle, right?
@@ActionRobotPunch Lol it would be fun to see in animated battle. But I would imagine Cobra would be broke. But if the hiss tank was available at retail I think I would go broke too.
Good but I need ultra hiss tank
I......WANT.....IT......BIGGER
Haha. I like the name! Good idea.
And so it begins… ua-cam.com/video/iwBybh9GmRw/v-deo.html the 1:12 scale mega hiss!!!
Very cool!
Watch my video on the Mega H.I.S.S and at the end there are under construction stills. It's heavily reinforced from the inside
@@christophergeorge5111 yeah I did, I’m making the interior of mine playable with figures.
Helo I will like to know how can I get this ithen.
This is just a one time. I'm not sure if he's selling the original. I'd recommend going to Christopher's channel and trying to contact him.
What’s that bad boy at 0:30 ?
Toy Gigante. He has a great youtube channel with some amazing customs. Here's a link. ua-cam.com/video/nAUe01nlhqY/v-deo.html Definitely sub his channel.
if thats real, theres no space for engine and fuel tank
Yeah, definitely not real but I bet they could fit an engine in the lower hull and find some space for fuel. Maybe Christopher will do a cross-section? Thanks for watching.
I love his craftsmanship but card board is so fragile. It’s not suitable for play which is a goal of my mods. But I think this could be made with styrene. Gi joe toy line needed this . All the delux vehicles were joes and the super weapons of the cartoon never made it to toys. Cobra commander would definitely want his own RATT tank.
Yes, this would have been a great toy for the line. I could imagine people army building these! Thanks for watching.
It's actually incredibly sturdy. I reinforced it inside and out. I actually dropped it a few times with no damage.
Can I by it from you
Check out Christopher’s channel. Thanks.
This “mega” hiss looks really silly honestly… not nearly as good as the Hasbro teams one… Plus you can totally tell that these parts were not 3-D printed… Looks silly 👍👍💯
It’s made of cardboard and wood. All by hand, no computers. No machines. Just a skilled man. Pretty amazing work.
Not great. It looks too much like a seagoing ship. WAY too much.
I love it. It's like a super sized HISS with massive cannons. Thanks for watching.
muito top! curta meus vídeos, estou começando a adicionar no canal vlw!
Thank you so much. Great to hear from a new fan.
