Dreadnok Thunder Machine GI Joe Classified Series Made To Order Preorder Ends Today

The clock is ticking on Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified Series Dreadnok Thunder Machine, with the made-to-order preorder window closing today, October 23, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern. If you’ve been thinking about picking this one up, now’s the time to make that decision.

I’ve always loved the design of the vintage Thunder Machine, so seeing Hasbro bring it into the Classified Series at this beefed-up scale is pretty exciting. The mismatched red-and-blue body panels, oversized tires, and all that Dreadnok hardware made the original vehicle stand out, and this updated version takes that design to another level. Plus, I finally have somewhere to put my Classified Series Dreadnoks! They’ve been waiting for a proper ride, and the Thunder Machine looks like it’ll fit right in with the crew.

Priced at $124.99, the Thunder Machine features removable body panels, multiple weapon configurations, a detailed interior, and plenty of accessories to customize its appearance. Hasbro estimates shipping around September 1, 2027, and figures are sold separately. With the preorder window about to close, this is the last chance to secure one during the announced made-to-order period.

Although has Hasbro did not have a proper booth at NYCC 2026, they did have the ThunderMachine on display in another random booth. The Thunder Machine is a ridiculous slab of red-and-blue Dreadnok hardware, with an oversized spiked ram, exposed engine detail, mismatched armor panels and twin roof-mounted barrels fitted with translucent flame effects. Flatline wears a green hood and black tactical gear alongside it.

The Thunder Machine absolutely dwarfs Flatline, with the blue-tinted windshield and huge cylindrical unit behind the cab adding to its bulk. I love the rough side panels, exposed rivets and stenciled “RV4169,” which make the body look patched together rather than factory-clean.

The Thunder Machine’s nose has a gray tubular cage wrapped around a toothed disc with a tiny skull at its center. That is such a wonderfully ridiculous detail, especially beside the perforated red fender and deep-tread tire.

One of the more impressive features of the G.I. Joe Classified Series Thunder Machine is the large roof-mounted cannon assembly. The oversized weapon features twin barrels, with one extending much farther forward than the other, and is mounted on a rotating turret behind the cab. The cannon housing also has some nice mechanical detailing, including smaller cylindrical components along the sides. Just below it, the Thunder Machine retains its distinctive red, white, and blue emergency light bar and four silver roof lights.

The Thunder Machine’s tall red side panel is shown open beside the rear wheel, with a gray tubular rail running around its upper edge.

The long translucent effect piece fades from yellow-orange to deep red, with twisting flame detail running all the way to its pointed tip.
