Cobra was seriously under-equipped in 1982. While GI Joe had a tank, a jeep, a missile launcher, a heavy laser cannon, a light field cannon, a jet pack and a motorcycle armed with a Gatling gun, the bad guys had no vehicles or field equipment at all. The closest thing they had was a cardboard facade of a missile base, available only from Sears. In the comics they weren't so poorly off; in a panel in issue #1 we see the legions are equipped with jeeps, tanks and armored troop transports, among other things. So this custom represents what could have been released as a Cobra vehicle in 1982, a tank called the PINSER (Powered Interdiction Skirmisher). The commander could have been released that year, since it's just a recoloured Cobra Officer. The tank has a nice play feature, with plenty of room for accessory storage in the back.
