Remember the S.N.A.K.E. armor mecha that Cobra deployed against the Transformers in the Devil's Due G.I. Joe vs the Transformers crossover comic? More importantly have you ever wanted a toy versions of them. Check out the Roll Out Roll Call 3 Exclusives below. The UK show dedicated to Transformers, Action Force and GI-Joe takes place March 10 -11 2012 at Jury's Inn, Southampton. Images courtesy of Full Metal Hero.

I'm really, really not liking those.
Looks like the limits of its articulation is a 360° swivel at the shoulders and waist. Zero paint, it's all stickers and even then there aren't many. The monotone plastic is so rounded it looks like it was designed by Fisher-Price. I really don't see more than a few thousand of these being sold worldwide.

Well, since they're a UK con exclusive, I'll have to agree with you that only a few thousand will be sold worldwide!

I like them but they seem to suffer in a similar way to the Vector Powermaster Optimus set. They needed more time, more money and a larger release venue. Still, if I collected Joes I'd be all over these.

Don't these already have toys though? they came out before Transformers even started so technically they're not that Transformers related.

Can you open them up and put the Cobra guys inside them ala G1 Pretender shells? Because that would make these pretty cool.

This design is based on the snake armor that was featured in the devil's due TF/GI Joe crossover, which were giant robot mecha rather than just suits of armor.

The fact that this particular design comes specifically from the TF/Joe comic makes it more relevant to the TF universe.

These look nothing like the designs from the comic.

Really? Well, it has been a while since I read that comic.

I will not be doubling the attendance by heading to Southampton if this is what's on offer.
