G.I. Joe Classified Series #216, Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. (High Speed Sentry) and Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Driver
Destro’s Journal – Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Plans Complete
The Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. (High Speed Sentry) and Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Driver is ready and simply awaits open preorder numbers to commence production for deployment at the end of Fall 2026.
A Wintry Mix
Concurrent with my analysis of the capabilities of the GI. Joe SnowC.A.T. (Combat All-Terrain) Vehicle and the somewhat shocking success of their HasLab project, Cobra Commander made a rather flippant declaration amidst one of his usual tirades. To combat the Joe’s impending advances in the arctic arms race, he suggested that I “slap some white paint” on my technological terror, the HIgh-Speed Sentry.
As though that would suffice to adequately prepare them for the rigors of sub-zero temperature combat. Ludicrous. I do not suffer fools lightly and fools who attempt to skirt the precisions required of weapons design never. Even under such an accelerated manufacture schedule, I, Destro, have successfully reconfigured my creation, with some modest modifications, and am ready to unleash it upon the world.
A New Weapon for a New Theater of Operation
Retrofitting the Sentry for such a frigid clime necessitated the removal of the electronic lighting features. Similarly, the Diablo cannons were ill-suited for this particular incarnation. I have, however, made several significant technological enhancements and modifications to counter the Joe’s meager advancements in their own arsenal. The hexagonal camouflage adds additional armor plating to the hull.
Of all things the measure is man
Lean and sleek, the Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. measures 19.6″ (50 cm) long and stands 12.6.” (32 cm) tall. The single cockpit seat affords a narrower silhouette than the Joe’s SnowC.A.T. while still providing ample rear cargo storage and troop transport at a mere 9″ (22.9 cm) wide.
The flip-down boarding ladder ascends to the polarized gull-wing canopy which with independent right and left sides that lift from center hinges allowing the Driver to enter from either side of the H.I.S.S…
The interior cockpit features detailed dashboard displays, articulated joystick and throttle controls, a 5-point harness adorned with Cobra logo.
Unique to this fleet of Arctic Assault H.I.S.S vehicles are the exterior storage rack and the bedroll that flank either side of the hull.
Behind the cockpit sits the M.A.R.S.-developed HISS-CS22 propulsion unit detail beneath a removable cover. It connects to side exhaust port details. Its flawless design needed no modification or improvements.
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
I have retained the Twin Hissintegrator Cannons of the original design but modified the armaments of the 360-degree rotating turret to dual flanking Hissruptor LZ-6 Laser Cannons. To match the concussive force of the SnowC.A.T.’s “Shockwave” missiles I’ve replaced the Diablo Cannons with Snow Sabre ground to air rockets whose turret is likewise capable of rotating and pivoting.
The rear personnel platform provides standing room for additional troops who can be posed holding the functional handrails.
Below the platform is a retractable tow hitch on the rear of the vehicle.
Driving O’er the Fields
Rotating sprockets and functioning wheels spin as you manually move the treads forward or backward allowing the vehicle to traverse the most difficult terrain with practiced ease.
The center of the personnel platform flips up allowing the rear cargo door to drop. That reveals troop transport cargo space.
Inside is a jump seat and a tool/weapon accessory storage rack ideal for storing the axes and shovel accessories that come with each vehicle. 2 gas cannisters can stow inside or atop the exterior rack.
What H.I.S.S. would be complete without its Driver?
Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Drivers are given concentrated training in the operation of the vehicle; cold-weather combat and survival; as well as airborne operations should they or their vehicle need to be airdropped into remote locations. Each Driver is equipped with their standard issue accessories.
