Looks like a modified Road Rebel:

Unproduced Road Rebel with new missile turret, an actual painted/colored photo of it was at hasbro's website before 3 3/4" was cancelled at retail. It would've included a VvsV Tunnel Rat repaint. Also, a recolored Sting Raider with a red Electric Eel was planned and shown at Hasbro's site. Some loose samples of them actually made it on ebay.

I'm surprised no one saved the pictures.

Here's a picture of it, which was on Hasbro's web site, with the Tunnel Rat figure:

Not a bad re-paint/re-tool. I think Tunnel Rat looks much cooler in those colors than either of the carded Valor Vs. Venom versions. Too bad they didn't release it.

Thanks a lot for posting that picture. While I dont care for the yellow on it, its very nice looking none the less. Always been a fan of the design of that vehicle, and the original had such a classic Cobra color scheme to it that it won me over. I see a custom of this one coming soon enough.

I agree with Dfunk7 about the unreleased stuff always being so cool. That Hiss driver that was cancelled by walmart is one of the coolest figures I have seen with that massive white Cobra logo. So glad I grabbed one off evilbay, but I wish I had gotten a whole squad of them. That Viper with the black faceplate is pretty neat too. I wonder how Master Collector goes about getting Hasbro to make figures for them? I would love to make up a sweet batch of customs and get a production run of them, along with some of these unproduced repaints. Price would be no object, since you could easily sell a bunch off and make your money back.
