For my list, going to stay within '82 thru '85, as we all know there are too many that would make this list after then and the list is too short with a limit of 10. Also going to try and overlook the realism factor and lean more into playable/fun for grading on my list. Funny to think about as most of vehicles are hard for me to overlook, and this is coming from a Star Wars guy too. This list is in no particular order.
FLAK - Not totally bad and not really a vehicle ether, but is listed as one, so is included. Really needed a trailer or something to tow this thing around. Plus the fact that escapes me is where would you get ammunition once deployed? Some might point out well it's a laser, but in the sculpt there are rounds under the barrel, three of them. With that you only have 3 shots, 5 max is a stretch then it becomes a bullet sponge. Hasbro did much better later on in the line than this one.
SHARC - This one had potential, but fell very short of any that was there. This one was very hard for me to overlook even as a kid, as that any jet hitting the water at the speed it would have to be traveling at to fly with it's very small wings and fat body would become a very cool explosion to see. Even if you think about it in a high diver way of thinking. There is just too much mass and too much speed. Plus no controls for flight, or even underwater other than the left and right. That aside, I would not like to be the Joe strapped to the underside during it all. If they would have kept is just a sub, would have been cooler, but then you have the cockpit. No other figure ever worked in it other than Deep Six, then the cartoon added to the kick below the belt with showing that it should have had 2 seats. Hasbro what happened? Did the Pentagon pull the Joe's budge?
Slugger - Now this one wasn't crap, but just thinking about Thunder trying to reload this thing was. The shells would have been massive for one guy as it wasn't big enough to carry a crew or any type of load assist equipment. Then thinking about the gun firing would blow this little artillery piece away even with the spade. Too much for me to overlook. Would have been better with a little realism to the design.
Silver Mirage - Now I really liked this one, but the thing was just too fragile. Even more so than the RAM and couldn't be fixed like the RAM. The one I had would continue to break as the glue would not work with the plastic used. One reason this one makes the list.
Cobra Flight Pod - Same as the Silver Mirage, as just to fragile. I don't think I was able to ever keep it together during play. Looked good when was sitting, just don't touch it.
I think I'm going to call my list done. As there were some good vehicles after '85, but many more were not. Think the HAVOC got enough beating anyway. Though Hasbro seemed to drop the ball on many of the vehicles after '85. One comes to mind as some pointed out, the Mamba. It had some cool makings for something great, but the rocket pod/manned missiles were a fail. Should have made it more like the Russian Hind. Giving it some area to hold troops with the size of it. Though that is my opinion, as many might disagree.
