My main concern is that those blue headlights are still just decoration, and don't actually light up the road ahead. Pretty sure in most countries that violates traffic code and makes the vehicle illegal on roads.

They are stickers, like Lightning McQueens’s.

A very safe response lol

Viking  with this skin looks like a hovering hull.

Now, we need helicopter skin for hovering hulls.

This may quite possibly be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in TO.

Hmmm.... So they gave a clue for juggernaut denomic or dead juggernaut

Wasp GT = Bumper cart
Hornet GT = Race car with spoiler
Hopper GT = Helicopter
Mammoth GT = Bulldozer
Ares = Boat

Mammoth must have a Thomas the Train Engine skin (with sound effects during the OD) or I'll quit Tanki after 12 years of service. I don't care. 

Spoiler

bruh tbh the viking skin looks pretty cool, at least its something new, but I fail to see any difference between thunder gt and thunder hd lol... great effort

Already saw one in battle,

Looks wield in battle, like a running toy car.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Its business.

[x_Sorinel_x 552]

Instead of stupid skins fix the game. 3 times kicked out from same battle... Refresh rejoin, refresh rejoin, refresh rejoin. Stupid game.

The ultimate configuration includes ABS, cruise control, air conditioning, multimedia system, and… a tree air freshener, for good luck!

Are these considered luxuries over in the Motherland?

Saw it in battle. It looks like a ugly childish toy in the wrong scale.

I haven’t seen anyone use these skins yet, and to be honest I wouldn’t blame them. Thunder GT has very minimal changes compared to the default skin, and Viking GT looks like a box you can drive. 
Thunder and Viking are more popular than Twins (Thunder has very powerful augments in Vacuum and Hyperspeed Shells and Viking has a cult following) but I’ve seen one or two Twins Blaster users and nobody with GT skins.

Just didnt notice ...

Really am disappointed with the GT skins. Design looks okay (not the best) but what it lacks is the ability for the wheels to turn horizontally otherwise it does not feel like turning a car rather just another tank.

it would look more realistic, but it does not correlate to how (in-game) tanks move. if it were to be driven like a car, then the mechanics of driving would be different from regular Viking, or any tank in that regard. a few years ago, developers reworked the movements and controls of hulls so that they acted more like tanks instead of cars. 

e.g. if you press [w] or [left arrow], a tracked hull will turn to its left while staying on its position. if a wheeled vehicle turns its wheels to the left, it cannot move unless it moves forward - and if doing so, the vehicle will make a turn instead of rotating on its middle point. 

that being said, it would be interesting if Tanki introduced a new series of hulls with wheels instead of tracks.

I can't say these are my new favorite skins but I do like seeing new skins in the game. I wish skins were released more often as they do not affect the game's balance and many players love them.

Pretty sure it's the gun turret, which will make the vehicle illegal on public roads, rather than some headlights ...

Also the absence of a license plate 

[The_Resistance 135]

I hope we don't lean into this like TX where are skins that are just default with some permanent paint...
