I liked the Conquest, namely the Spytroops version. It was one of my first Joe birds. But, I'd take a good Joe-scale Viper any day.

Just 12? From what I hear, training exercises between the Raptor and Eagle have produced a 24:1 kill ratio; one Raptor with AWACS support can effectively take down an entire squadron of the world's best fighter. Suddenly the legend of Mobius One doesn't seem so fantastical...
And you're not kidding about how they move. Seeing them at Airpower over Hampton Roads is... eye-opening. Watching it go into a controlled fall, pivoting around its nose, then hitting the throttle and shooting straight up... Amazing.

Army's way ahead of you on that one, CLA. It's being integrated into their Future Force Warrior Program.
