Brilliant! Some of these I've never seen before. That MASK scale modular HISS is amazing. Taking the HISS silhouette and signature track design as the parameters it would be fun to see people design different specialized variants. Like an AA HISS, a stretched chassis HISS as a tanker, troop transport or ICBM launcher, Battlepod launching platform HISS, Command module HISS with drones, recovery vehicle HISS and so on.
GASP! Number 8 said H.I.S.S. Tank on the box. That Sigma Six HISS is really cool, they should have made that at 1/18 scale. That resolute HISS looks amazing!
Solid history. No idea the original design considered the triangular wheel set up. And awesome peek at the Sigma 6 one. Looking like a Zoid doesn’t hurt.
Damn, the play value in the HISS II! Shockwave looks so good, the tip makes that version stand out. Those crossovers are fun and would love to see more.
Oh yeah, there’s several versions with great toyetic features. I’m a huge fan of all the crossovers, too. I made a grey/chrome custom Megatron version of the Retaliation HISS several years ago to go with Shockwave
Excellent list. The HISS is, without a doubt, a perfect design concept for a toy. I remember when I got the original HISS on Christmas morning, even my aunt, who really didn't like my toys, said earnestly, "Ooo, I really like that design." The fact that it has been remade and modified ever since is a testament to the perfection of the concept. I did not know the Sigma 6 HISS did all that. You are absolutely right. Those features would be excellent in subsequent HISS designs. While watching the rest of your list, I found myself comparing them to your number 10 pick. Simple yet beautiful. But...where's Megatron?🤪
The playability of the Sigma 6 HISS is amazing! I’d love a 1/18 version of that! I wasn’t expecting the HISS II to be your #1, but it is pretty bad ass. I’ve never owned one.
@@Its.Chad. always!! Man so many great transformer Joe crossovers it should be easy to make a movie. Aesthetically speaking. To think the amazing things hasbro used to create and now…. Well, I’ll just leave it at that. lol 😂 that’s that 🐂 💩
I'm always impressed with the vehicles in Sigma 6, I think they're incredible and they deserve more love from the fans, and my favorite H.i.S.S will always be H.i.S.S 2, excellent video Chad as always.
Great job Chad! There are definitely more than a few H.I.S.S. vehicles I hadn't seen out of the box until today. Thank you for making this video. My Favorite H.I.S.S. is still good Ole 788. Without it, the others may have never existed.
My top 2 in my collection are the HISS III (I just love the dark blue body with mud on the tracks), and the 2005 HISS (The black and tan one.) The absolute worst I own is the HISS IV that looked like a snake.
Very nice list, sir, but at the end of the day, I am a simple man. My favorite HISS will always be the original 83. I always wanted to play the games on the Bozo the clown show, I would have won so many HISS's and Shwin bicycles.
Cool topic. Being a vintage collector, still love my original 83. HISS 2 and Classified are great and I do really dig the Septic Tank, as goofy as it is. Even though I don't collect the later years, DTC, Retaliation version of Soundwave, and Arctic are really cool. I don't think I ever saw the mini Sigma 6 version so thanks for sharing that one!
The hiss over the years went through a lot design changes and I do agree it’s up there for iconic vehicle. It’s certainly wasn’t my first joe vehicle but I certainly had one growing up and my friend Nathan also had one. I certainly believe the version 2 is better design and some of the movies ones I do like too but I do t mind the IV version and feel many people over look this but it’s certainly had some interesting design elements. Anyway like always great video buddy I certainly enjoy it we just need a desert hiss now
My Chadholes grew 4 sizes watching this video. I'm particularly partial to the Version 5 which I have. If I ever find one that's on the cheap, I want to make the body detachable. It looks like it could convert to a short range air to ground attack vehicle. Enjoyed the video, thanks for making them.
Awesome collection, really enjoying your Channel Chad. Your Custom work is outstanding too. Have to say I really appreciate and respect your Military service as well, I only spent Two and a half years in the Australian Army Reserve as a Riflemen which pales in comparison to your career. I have the upmost respect and appreciation for you real Soldiers who have served on deployment. Outstanding work.
So, my favourite H.I.S.S. is the H.I.S.S. III 813 TRU EXCLUSIVE with the slate blue color and the original RIP IT figure from 2000. The only cooler RIP IT is the UNRELEASED WALMART version with the RED CHEST ARMOR and SILVER COBRA SIGIL.
My favorite Hiss is the creme orange , that I did a custom on. I did like this video . Sorry I didn't get to it right away. But this video rocks just like your other video's🎵💪🤪 Have a nice day!
Great list, I’m surprised the retaliation HISS is on your list, I find it very finicky and hollow, I swear parts fall of if I look at it wrong. My top 5 5. Original, great design awesome in its simplicity. 4. POC H.I.S.S. did the elevating gimmick better than the HISS IV 3. HISS II improved on the original in every way 2. Haslab (thanks for the shout) so many features and even scaled for 1/12 it looks great at 1/18 1. DTC I just really love the design it’s like they took the best of the original and ver 2 and molded them together. Top 3 are interchangeable depending on the day lol
@@Zakainen as I. It it had those play features? It definitely would’ve been cool…but they don’t do play features anymore, especially in 1:12 scale. Which sucks.
Did you know they make a Transformer's, crossover Hiss that converts into Megaatron. Its the same size as the 80's hiss and comes with The Barroness that fits in turret in robot mode, and the cockpit in tank mode?
good top video bro 1 - hiss 2 like you, for the same reasons, a great evolution and practical 2 - 2010 version with real tracks 3 - arctic tank I had the septic tank, and I liked it never had the other version with rockets and gold, I was out by then, but also, I did nt like the gold colours, only rockets as weapons make it quite weak too. the gi joe version had an interesting turret my big surprise of this video has to be the sigma modular concept, wow! combining 'battle force 2000' and transformers into a hiss, brilliant! I don t mix trans with my joes, but the purple version and the blue one make a great special tank, I always had the idea to combine a story weapon - turret that could fit reg vehicles, like a soundwave turret as a hiss turret or towed like the asp, sold as a special mission pack each year, a different story and kind of weapon, stand alone, or to install on some vehicles so now you know... God bless America and world peace good show bro

Right. Which again was the point of the video. Once one idiot added that word in ‘86, it became groupthink

That ‘05 DTC HISS is killer for sure. The HISS IV could’ve been great if it had a few things designed differently. Thanks for the awesome comment!
Very nice list, sir, but at the end of the day, I am a simple man. My favorite HISS will always be the original 83. I always wanted to play the games on the Bozo the clown show, I would have won so many HISS's and Shwin bicycles.

only rockets as weapons make it quite weak too.
