Dream Vehicles?
 
If HAsbro hired you to make vehicles for GI Joe, what would you build?


I'd have to make the A.T.V. from Issues 6&7

The L.C.T. from issue 1

A T-72 and a BM-21

The Cargo (SkyCrane) Helicopter from Yearbook #2

I think what the Joes need more than anything is a LCU (Landing Craft, Utility)

"To Project Military Power from the Sea" ;) Something to run right along side the USS Flagg and dump troops and vehicles on Cobra from the beach!

A huge floating LCU would rule. :eek:

Frank, if ou're referring to the OG's ATV from issues 6&7, Lanard make a reasonable approximation with their six wheel ATV. I use one for my OG figures. Other than that, all of the above plus the huge Cobra chopper that was prevalent in the early issues of the Marvel run. I would also love a Cobra APC that could carry as many troops as the Joe APC. :)

The Cobra head transport plane from the cartoon!! You know, the one that first appeared in the Revenge of Cobra: http://joeguide.com/summaries/the_w...ages/twd043.jpg

It would be Flagg-sized, big enough to carry some smaller Cobra aircraft within. Man, that thing would be sooooo cool!!

I would remake the skystriker to something much better. Maybe turn it into an F-35 or F-22.

I'd make a 1:18 Plymouth Grand Voyager.

No, really. I love those minivans! I learned to drive in one, and I think it'd be excellent to be able to use one for my dios. :D

Air - I would ask for a MV-22 Osprey for Joes. A SU-35 for COBRA.

Sea - I would go with a CB-90H for Joes. A Scorpéne Class sub for COBRA.

Land - BMD-2 APC for Oktober Guard. For COBRA they are in a need for a ATV, like the last one that Corps released.

The Cobra transport copter that showed up throughout the Marvel run -- that's up there alongside the likes of Billy, General Rey and Dr. Venom for impact without a toy -- and one with a detachable pod to carry a bunch of troops or a Ferret or the like would fill a gaping hole in the Cobra forces that's been there for about 20 years!

F-15 gets my vote. we've had just about every otheer american war plane thus far.

Dersham 12-08-2006 06:18 PM

I'm with Stormer, I always wanted one of those super cool transport copters. It was way cool and a fleet of them would be superb. And if they could pick up Hiss Tanks or even the Paralyzers (I guess) that would be neat as well.
