Dreadnok A.S.P. (Assault Systems Pod)

Dreadnok Logo.

The Cobra Assault Systems Pod was created with multitasking in mind. Able to function as an anti-aircraft, anti-armor or anti-personnel weapon. The ASP also has a very unique capability, where the operators cockpit can actually elevate by 90 degrees, allowing the ASP to be placed in elevated areas and fire down at opposing forces. That and being able to rotate the cockpit and weapons systems a full 360 degrees, all by operator control without assistance, makes the ASP a perfect drop and forget defensive fortification. One well placed and well concealed ASP can lay ruin to any advancing force. A.S.P.'s have become common place within Cobra as they can be scene defending almost all Cobra installations and or in tow behind a Stinger or HISS tank during almost any launched offensive.



Armor and Ordinance

* Dual Synchronized "Auto-cooled" 120mm "Eliminator" Cannons
* Servo controlled Pod raising and rotating hydraulic systems
* Operator HUD with Infared, Night Vison and computer assisted trageting system.

Creator's Notes

The 2004 G.I. Joe collectors convention gave us an entire Convention set dedicated to the Dreadnoks and with it, two Convention exclusive vehicles made primarily for the Dreadnoks, The Dreadnok Stun and the Dreadnoks Cycle. The small but lethal group of Dreadnoks that I grew up with were no more, as of 2001 and the beginning of the newest line of G.I. Joe comics, the Dreadnoks suddenly became a nationwide paramilitary biker gang with different chapters all around the country. The Dreadnoks Convention set catered well to this idea by stocking their ranks and their motor pool.

Five months later a friend in the Joe collectors world mentions an idea that he had for a Diorama which would include The Dreadnoks as well as the Cobra ASP and suddenly it just dawned on me, why wouldn't the Dreadnoks have their own defensive artillery? They certainly have places to defend, the same places that stock their weapons and provide homes for their growing army and what better timing, since Hasbro just recently released the Crimson Brigade exclusive, which included an ASP. So with plenty of Cobra Asp's to go around and a fresh idea from a buddy of mine, I created the first Dreadnoks A.S.P.
