NINJA BATTLES!

another SDCC exclusive - Shockwave HISS tank with Destro and BAT w/ Energon cubes...







I'm betting you guys don't want to see the Ninja masks, costumes, weapons, blasters and playsets, right?

Why Roadblock has a sword on is hand and the Arashikage symbol tattoed on his arm!?

it goes back to my theory that whoever does the artwork for this promo is a Mucking Foron!, he thinks the I-ching symbol of the Arashikage is the GI Joe logo. and that everyone in GI Joe is a ninja. that explains why the vehicles have the Arashikage symbol slapped all over them. thankfully, you can choose not to apply the decals when you get them.

I suppose that in the sequel all the few Joes'll become Arashikage (not ninja) memers after Snake Eyes, Jinx and the Blind Master...

We'll see...

Blind Master!
 

I like the Blind Master, but without that kind of umbrella!

2012 battlecry:
