Anyone walking around the floor of the San Diego Convention Center on preview night this past week, probably saw a strange, drill shaped digging vehicle sitting around in the general vicinity of the G.I. Joe booth. It wasn’t until later in the convention that Hasbro actually got around to putting a sign on it. What did the sign say? G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The vehicle is some sort of digger, which it would seem we’ll actually see in the film. The closest thing to it from the 80s cartoon is Cobra's tunneling machines, which also had a giant drill on the front. Word is this same model also showed up at the NYC Licensing Show last month, bearing the name "The Mole Pod". Below we’ve got photos and video of this new version of Cobra's odd underground conveyance. Give it a gander:
