I agree with Craig. I prefer a good old VAMP or Dragonfly over a lot of the later stuff. But as long as it is feasible or has some basis in reality, that's good too.

I never was quite sure how Cobra and GI Joe were both able to run space missions on the spur of the moment while it takes NASA 4 to 5 years to plan a mission. Nimble logistics, I guess...

But as much as we may have preferences for one over the other, I have never really disparaged the fact that missile pods on a night raven are ludicrous if the vehicle is moving 3 times faster than the missile. (I loved the SR-71 on which night raven is "loosely" based, and wish we still used them to spy on unruly upstarts around the world.)

And we can all suspend a little disbelief for weapons placement that would clearly kill vehicle operators...since this is a TOY/collectible line. It is also good to remember a lot of what Hasbro was doing was trying to appeal to young audiences who would eventually appreciate the sublte, "realistic" aspects of vehicles as they collected and grew older. But to draw their attention, it is tricky if you only use regular olive drab vehicles. (I would have still collected, but not everyone.) Not condoning weird vehicles, just giving a possible reason for some of the more garish choices over the years.

Okay, enough of my pseudo-coherent rambling... That was supposed to be my 2 cents, and it ended up being more like $2.37.
