I love tanks. In 50 years, GI Joe has had surprisingly few of them. It would be great if big H introduced more tanks and other tracked vehicles (that are not a HISS or a Snowcat) into the line. For that reason, I wanted to create a new tracked vehicle.

Switch Gears was made at the tail end of our Project New Sculpt this year. Bucky made a great regular version of the character. When I was looking for a tank driver for the Cougar, I thought it would be fun to do the Desert Patrol Squad version as a nod to the Valor vs Venom figure. During the course of the project, I toyed with replacing him for something different. He was in the line-up, then out of the line-up, then in again. Finally, I decided that the Cougar could include two figures and went with it.
