LAND: I don't want a Cobra MOBAT or Mauler, I want a Joe MOBOT AND Mauler! I have enough HISS I's, bust out some HISS II's the Maggot.
AIR: The Rattler is a fine plane for aerial combat, if you're looking for something more dogfight specific, let's look at the Condor.
Sea: The Moray could wipe the sea floor with a WHALE. Cobra already has the edge here.
For me, I like small (vintage) Cobra vehicles. I don't army build the Joe's. They are a govt funded small organization with the best troops and the best technology. I army build the hell out Cobra because of this. They can't win through skill and weapon superiority. The win by sheer force. Small inexpensive craft that just over whelm the competition. HISS tanks, Firebats and Water Moccasins. It's all about numbers. That's the type of strategist I've always seen Cobra Commander as.
Going to have to disagree with your assessment of the Rattler. It's basically a suped up A-10 with VTOL capabilities. It is great for ground support, but wouldn't last 30 seconds in a dog fight. The Condor is great, but a strategic bomber, wouldn't do in a dog fight.
The Maggot is a great vehicle, but it is for artillery not armor, but I'd like to see the Hiss II come back out as well.
The hydrafoil was great, but it's hard to find these days and I'd love to see a 25th line edition.
Thanks for the input this stuff is great.
