UPDATE: We have added a hi-res image of the Shockwave HISS Tank.

Buried deep in the announcement of their upcoming GI Joe Retaliation toyline, Hasbro Inc reveals that they will be offering Shockwave HISS Tank as a San Diego Comic Con exclusive.

Continuing the practice from last year when the company offered the extremely popular GI Joe Transformers Starscream Sky Striker and Cobra Commander, the company is offering the GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra HISS Tank with Shockwave's trademark purple color, complete with a large Decepticon insignia emblazoned on either side of the tank as well as the nose.

The figure will also get a new cannon on the top of the vehicle, similar to Shockwave's gun from Generation 1.

It is unknown if the figure will come with a driver, but we will know for sure next weekend, when we will be live at Hasbro's media day at Toy Fair.

The Starscream Sky Striker, one of Hasbro's SDCC exclusive last year, was extremely popular, selling out very quickly at the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at the convention and within minutes of the toy available for sale on HasbroToyShop.com.
