Matt Trakker confirmed!

"We got confirmation that Matt Trakker Leader of M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) will be released as Specialist Trakker in Modern Era A Real American Hero Wave 10 or 11.

M.A.S.K. was a hybrid of popular 80's cartoons G.I. Joe and Transformers. It featured a special task force, led by Matt Trakker, with transforming vehicles engaged in an ongoing battle against V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem), with an emphasis on super-powered helmets called masks worn by the characters on the show."

OK..now lets get some of the COPS or Jem!!!

I am waiting on a link for further concrete evidence!

He hasn't been wrong yet. I sent him a message to get me a link...so I will post it when I get it.

And if he trolls this board...Post the link here

Hmmm, I'd rather Hasbro make a whole MASK line of it's own in 3 3/4" scale. Maybe if they are doing this, maybe they'll use it as a jump off point to make MASK it's own line.

oh I'm not really blowing the whistle of BS, just more looking for a citation of the source for the news.

I'm rarely much of a skeptic on news like this these days.

i know, I'm just messing with ya!

In all seriousness though, I have a slight feeling he may know A LOT of what goes on for the inner workings of Joe/Hasbro. He has always been one step ahead of news...I would like a whole line myself...but then again...this could be a jump point.

I generally make it a rule to not believe anything I read on mySpace ever.

But Matt Trakker can ram it. This move still makes little sense to me, and it pisses me off to no end.

geigh.

No tunnel rat, Recondo, Ripcord, Raptor, Crystalball or numerous other characters I'd rather have from the Joe mythos, but yet a get a sub par duke clone. Thanks Hasbro.

and yes i know plenty of people here, myself included liked mask, but i am buying GI Joe toys, not mask toys.

Lazy modding, moving post from duplicate thread here.

Making him a "Specialist" is a stupid idea. These people have no concept of the rank structure. Matt Trakker led his own highly-trained special mission force, for crying out loud. And I'm sure he had some college under his belt. Make him a Special Agent or a Major or even a Civilian, but calling him "Specialist Trakker", even as a nod to the character, is dumb.

But I still dig that they're making him -- hopefully they frankenstein him well enough or give him a decent sculpt.

Good hell, is THAT what that shirt's from?! I got it at some garage sale for fifteen cents...

Whoa!
This is a funky news!
As a kid I always wished that the MASK toys could be in Joe scale and now this?
Is it too much to ask for a Thunderhawk? (the answer is probably yes).
I just hope he'll be in his grey uniform and that he'll have his cool helmet.

while this is a cool idea, I think they should have used a different figure for the single pack(i.e. an actual Joe or Cobra), and then given us this guy with a MASK-like vehicle. To me at least, MASK was nothing without the vehicles.

Matt Trakker confirmed!
