Infantry can take an objective, but armor is the only true way to hold it. The Cobra HISS was developed by Destro’s M.A.R.S. corporation to fulfill two separate needs on the battle field, anti-personnel and heavy armor. The HISS tank is the most versatile and deadly opposition on any battlefield. Whether on city streets or through the dense jungle, the HISS can outrun, out-maneuver, and out-perform just about anything in its class. They are built with a modular design, allowing Cobra’s technicians to easily replace and repair battle damaged units with maximum efficiency. Although specialized drivers are selected and trained to pilot most HISS tanks, the cockpit design is simple enough for almost any basic trooper to understand and operate if necessary. The Septic Tank is a special anti-environmental variant that shoots liquified sludge.
The Cobra HIgh Speed Sentry (HISS) Tank has been the dominant tank used by Cobra forces since the organization's inception. The HISS has been upgraded and remodeled over time, but all variants share a similar general design, featuring dorsal mounted cannons.

History[]
Canon continuity[]
During the assault on The Pit that the HISS tanks were painted "Cobra Blue" to match the uniforms of the Cobra legions. A benefit of the unorthodox coloration was that the Cobra SNAKE Battle Armor was unable to fire on anything painted thusly and therefore the captured Kwinn and Snake-Eyes were unable to turn their weapons on the Cobra tanks. Later, during the Cobra Civil War, Serpentor made a statement by having the Baroness tied to the front of his HISS.
The Cobra H.I.S.S. II was first deployed by Cobra in 1989, driven by Track-Vipers. Production of H.I.S.S. IIs was discontinued in 1991.
MUX History[]
In the year 2000, an experimental H.I.S.S. III was introduced, piloted by Rip It. They were deemed too expensive for mass production.
In 2014, the HISS IVb was modified to create the Cobra Septic HISS Tank MK II.
In 2023, a Septic Tank was stolen from Cesspool by an unknown G.I. Joe agent.
Variations[]
The original HISS tank was black, with an elevated pilot cockpit and twin cannons mounted on the back. Two Cobra soldiers could stand on the back of the tank. This version of the HISS was piloted by the HISS Driver.
A version of the HISS tank was simply called the Cobra HISS Tank. Featuring an elevated cabin, and troop transport capabilities, this version was also well armed. The HISS featured two side mounted missile launchers, two machine guns under the cabin and dorsal mounted missile launchers. This version was piloted by the Night Creeper.
