DREADNOK THUNDER MACHINE

[DOCHOLIDAY56]

HEY GUYS

 

Just looking at all these wonderful 25th ANNI figures -------they are great arent they ? jmo!

 

Well heres my little issue---------my joes can ride in anything -----well most of them can i think

 

but i have all these sweet DREADNOKS ------sure i have my WEST COAST CHOPPERS BIKES for them ------------but i need a

 

NEW STYLE THUNDER MACHINE!!!!!!

 

SO IF THE DREADNOKS WERE GOING TO MAKE A THUNDERMACHINE TODAY---WHAT KIND OF CAR WOULD THEY BASE IT ON?

 

IMO, THEY (HASBRO)USED THE TRANS-AM ON THE ORIGINAL B/C OF THE SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT POPULARITY!

 

SO WHAT WOULD THEY USE TODAY?

 

A TUNER?-SOME SORT OF SPEEDY IMPORT

 

A NEW STYLE CAMARO?

 

MAYBE JUST A ARMORED UP , HIGH HORSEPOWER AND JET ENGINE HUMMER OR H2

 

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

 

JST TRYING TO GET SOME IDEAS ON WHAT YOU ALL THIK WOULD BE COOL LOOKING FOR TODAYS DREADNOK

i would think a hummer, or a van of some sort. Big enuff for several guys and their eqip. to fit in. With some major firpower mounted on.

[kreyonkid]

the bigger, the better, the badder! make it a gas guzzling hummer!

[BrotherShane]

A Viper front-end would be cool.

[SentinelPrime]

Yeah, I could totally see a hummer as the new Thunder Machine. Just imagine what ol' Thrasher and the boys would do to it!

 

 

I see a serious custom coming up soon.....give me a few weeks.....I think I can make this happen!

I can see this, having the Viper V-12 or some monster Hemi as the front engine, with a rugged Hummer passenger area.

 

Hmm, how many Joe humvees do I own?

[Toiletmonkey1]

1984 ford tempo !

What about the Magnum? I think that has a pretty touch look to it.. do they make 1:18 models? I'd hate to look for one of those diecast ones and try to cut that up.

 

or.. the Batmobile.. TUMBLER!!!! lol...

[Blackjack]

A Viper front-end would be cool.

 

I was thinking of a Viper as well. It would be perfect for a group assosiated with a snake themed organization called Cobra.

I'm in the process of modifying a "Tumbler" Batmobile from "Batman Begins" to serve as the new Thunder Machine. It's big, it's menacing, and it just looks like something the Noks would LOVE!

That's exactly what I was going to suggest.

The 2008 Shelby COBRA Mustang GT500 KR is PERFECT!

They're using one as the new K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand, instead of Knight Industries Two Thousand) for the new Knight Rider tv series.

It's funny that you say the Thunder Machine looked like it was modeled after the Trans Am, which, was used for the original K.I.T.T, and now you choose the Shelby Cobra Mustang and it's being used for the new K.I.T.T.

'NUFF SAID

 

thats too weird!!!!

 

i'm thinking a blue paint job with some red stripes on that part-------the rest is T.B.D

 

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT GUYS

[I AM SCI-FI]

I added a link for what the new K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand) looks like to my original post so you know what it looks like. Did it for this post, as well.

The "KR", in Shelby Cobra Mustang GT500 KR, doesn't just stand for "King of the Road", anymore. Now, it also stands for "Knight Rider".

I HEAR YA MAN I MYSELF STILL OWN 2 MONTE CARLOS 80 AND 83. MY 83 HAS HYDROS (LIKE THE WESTCOAST CARS) AND A WHOLE LOAD OF T.V.S AND OTHER GOODIES INSIDE. SO MY PIC WOULD BE A GM TYPE CAR.

I HAVE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE A NEW THUNDER MACHINE TOO BUT I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMETHING THRASHER COULD RIDE IN "STYLE".

[DOCHOLIDAY56]

I NEED SOME QUICK OPINIONS -------------------IF YOU WERE MAKING THIS AND YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE IT WORK WOULD YOU MAKE IT A R/C ---REMOTE CONTROL ---

 

OR NO???

I wouldn't. But then I like to play and RC cars limit that.

 

Heh, that's the reason I don't like the M.O.B.A.T. and Mauler.

[BrotherShane]

Here's a quick mock-up for ya Doc:

 

Front end: Mustang

Cab and Rear: Hummer H3T

[JoeRhyno]

I saw some sweet Bas Pro shop some fishing cars at walmart, they were a cheap plastic, mostly a couple Hummers, that one big GMC Truck(looks like a semi trailer, but it's a pickup trusk)... I might get one of those to toy around with.. and use the engine off my Tumbler on it.. then add some sports car front end.. we'll see..

 

 

nice mockup BS.. that looks too cool!!!
