For the most part, I have used the original Dreadnok Thunder Machine, and simply repainted it in the colors I would have chosen if I had worked at Hasbro and the decision had been left up to me. I have made a couple of physical changes as well to the top. This was my all time favorite vehicle from the G.I.Joe series I grew up with, but I always thought they should have gone the extra mile and made it cooler. I never liked the burgundy and blue color scheme and I always thought it would have been cool to have a colored translucent light bar on top rather than just some stickers to make it appear to be a police light bar. So I cut the old one away and replaced it, and added the skull for effect. This is still a work in progress, as I would like to give it working fog lights, headlights, and flashing lights in the light bar.


Thrasher loved his Thunder Machine, but dissatisfied with the colors, he decided a trip back into the Dreadnok chop shop was in order. He wanted it's appearance to be more intimidating, something that would convey at a glance that, "This is a serious threat and you should be running." After some debate he decided that Flat Black, with battleship grey would be more to his liking and adding a human skull he found in the swamp would let folks know he meant business. "Now all I need are some 'Joes' to cross my path he smirked to himself as the paint fumes settled, "and I'll have some new skulls to add."
