The TRU Exclusives are indeed hitting hot and heavy over the past few weeks, and the Terror Drome is staying right on top of it, with three reviews posted for Arctic Threat Doc, Arctic Threat Shipwreck, and the Sting Raider w/ Copperhead and Swamp-Viper. I will be posting my own review (courtesy of Mysterious Stranger) later today of the Sting Raider, but here are some mirrored images for the excellent reviews I linked above.

We’ve seen other images already, but they were pretty low on detail…now HissTank.com has some loose images up which are looking at least a bit better and clearer. Mirrored below are images for the following:
- Cobra Twin Battle Gun w/ Range-Viper
- Flight Pod w/ Elite-Viper
- RAM w/ Sandstorm
- Glider w/ Capt. Ace
- Water Moccasin w/ Copperhead & Swamp-Viper
When Hasbro does good, they do really, really good, but when they do bad, it’s pretty bad. And I gotta say that Glider and Water Moccasin, in my opinion, are pretty damn bad. I mean, Capt. Ace with a moustache? That’s Tripwire’s head anyway, so why the heck paint a fake moustache on there for a guy who’s not supposed to have one? Or if you must paint one on there, why not just make this Slipstream? I gotta tell you, too, I’m feeling pretty sorry for poor AVAC…he keeps getting saddled with terrible paint schemes and new specialties. First he was a pretty bad ass red and silver, then he turns into pukey purple with the CLAW, and now he’s poop green and brown as a “Swamp-Viper”. Enh. Not high on my list.
The others, though, are impressive. Love the Range-Viper and Whirlwind…that Elite-Viper in red is pretty damn cool, too, I gotta admit. Hell, even Sandstorm with the basic Reactive Armor torso and desert camouflage pants is pretty bad ass, and he’ll fit in real nice with the Toys “R” Us Troop Builder packs. Considering I haven’t loved any of the Target exclusive mini vehicles I’ve seen yet (except the SNAKE) these are looking really nice. Check out the images yourself:
