Overdrive offered the HISS tank along with various G.I. Joe vehicles and weaponry to members of S.T.A.R.S. for use in their battles against Cobra, oddly enough. Earthlings: THE S.T.A.R.S. need your help now!
[edit] Marvel Generation 2 comics
Some of the HISS tanks at Silent Castle were equipped with a new type of rail gun designed by Sidney Biggles-Jones. When Megatron attacked the castle, Sidney Biggles-Jones fetched a tank and blew a hole through Megatron. Impressed with the rail gun's power, Megatron agreed to a deal with Cobra Commander that would get him a new body. Once Megatron was rebuilt, Cobra Commander provided him with three radio-controlled HISS tanks to test the new body's abilities. Megatron destroyed them all in one fell swoop. Realignments
Cobra Commander apparently had brought a few HISS tanks with him when he travelled to Milleville, as they were part of the convoy that would bring the Cybertronian technology acquired from Megatron to a safer location. Hot Spot destroyed them all long before they reached their destination. All or Nothing!
[edit] G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
When Cobra unearthed a number of deactivated Transformers, they reprogrammed them and gave them new vehicle modes. Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Ratchet were modified into HISS tanks and utilized during Cobra's first Transformer-aided act of terrorism. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #1 Cobra wasn't satisfied with the way Optimus Prime, HISS-14, functioned and had Doctor Mindbender take a look at it. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2 Thanks to Wheeljack and Bumblebee, the three and all other Transformers were freed from their servitude to Cobra not much later. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4
