CAT Tank
Warthog
Cobra Fury
Mobat

[gruppenfuhrer88]

Always loved the Maggot, but I also have love for the Detonator. Even if it had those silly big ass foam missles, you could fit shitloads of Cobras on it. I sold mine a few years ago and regret it ever since...

[Woo-Dig-It]

Slaughter's Marauders Equalizer
CAT Tank
Warthog
Cobra Fury
Mobat

I forgot about your top three. Awesome choices!

[Talisman]

Patriot Grizzly, RHINO, and the VvV APC.

1. Night Force Patriot Grizzly - Seriously, the best "tank" the Joes have ever had. It's large, and the cannon really shoots and it's just awesome. The ONLY drawback is that the treads don't really work, but I can get over that. It's pretty durable, especially compared to the Mauler and some other earlier tanks. It's just looks awesome, like a suped-up, turbo version of an Abrams Tank.
2. Regular/Desert Patriot Grizzly - Obviously all that's said above applies here, but let's face it, the paint really set the Night Force version apart. The desert version was good, but not as cool as the green camo.
3. Equalizer - possibly the coolest tank designs ever made, but not beating out the Patriot Grizzly for a few reasons: A. Size - it's a little small, B. a bit fragile - like the Mauler that it's based on, it's got parts that are easily lost, and it just isn't that durable. However, the name alone is one of the coolest vehicle names in the entire Joeverse.
4. 1998 TRU Camo Mobat - Classic, durable, fun, real treads, realistic looking... seriously, the Mobat IS G.I. Joe the way the Sky Striker and the VAMP ARE G.I. Joe. And the 1998 camp update made a timeless classic pop like new.
5. Classic Green Mobat - It's still a great Tank and it holds it's own against any Tank Hasbro has ever made.

Honorable mention: Warthog - It's durable, fun, it doubles as a troop transport and it's amphibious. It's a great vehicle, but it's lack of large machine guns or cannons makes it a little less practical as an armor vehicle. Obviously those huge missle would pack a punch, but there's only 2 of them and then it's pretty much a fancy APC. It's a great vehicle, but it's at the bottom of my list... it' really more of an Marine/Amphibious Infantry Transport, like a Bradly Fighting Vehicle for Over the Beach Operations, than a Tank.
I would have really liked to say the Mauler, but it's really not as cool as the Equalizer, and it always seemed undersized and fragile.
The Wolverine was pretty cool.
The Thunderclap and the Rolling Thunder were also AWESOME, however, I catagorize them as "Artillery" (albeit 'self propelled') rather than Armor. I also want to mention the Mean Dog and the Raider. They're a little too "Different/Unique" to be termed "Armor" for me, but they're great, versitle, and fun vehicles that could easily fit that catagory and be tasked for Armor/Cav missions.

For Cobra it's easy:
The new HISS Tank (Black)
The new HISS Tank (Brown)
The new HISS Tank (Crimson)
The upcomming HISS Tank (Retaliation/Blue)
Tie: The HISS II (either version) - because it doubles as a troop transport, and The Rage/Fury (Any Version) - that's just a great tank with a lot of cool features.


I would also like to mention the Earthquake. It was huge and awesome, though the colors were crazy and I'm not quite sure it really qualifies as armor in the classical sense.

[Python Viper]

Mauler
Hiss II
Equalizer
Mobile Battle Bunker
Warthog

Mauler

Equalizer
Mobat
78 Chevy Van, no......wait, HISS V

[Stl_Brgd_PFC_Ramar]

As a kid, I was really into the APC....that thing was on every mission! Loaded up a bunch of Joes, used as a boat, used the canopy as a "heavy tent" fort! I think I'm going to go grab it right now and roll it around a bit :)

Yeah, alot of people are voting for the Equalizer. I fogot about that one as well.... that should have been on my list.... :)

[musashi3000gt]

-Patriot Grizzly. By far the best looking tank and that turret fires like 20 missles! sick toy.

-The Equalizer. Its all around awsome and what better way to deny your enemy the air?

-The Cobra Earthquake. Yeah it has fruity colors but its a weaponized bulldozer! Massive solid wheels, giant mortars, gatling guns! its what I'd want to drive into combat.

-The Raider. Sleek, fast, massive guns, two huge grid-erasing missles. Its the Bugatti Veyron of combat tanks.

- The Avalanche. Look at it! its like the Viking God of tanks.

[blackbarn]

Warthog
HISS (original)
Maggot
Bridgelayer
HAVOC

Speaking only for ones I had as a kid (never had a realistic tank such as MOBAT in those days). The Warthog was my favorite Joe vehicle period, though I got it late in my collecting period. I loved loading it up with my top Joes and their gear, and that was my favorite version of Sgt. Slaughter too. I'd give him version 2 Roadblock's gun. :)

[sirt8669]

I would add this to my list but its technically a prototype, still bad ass!

[war009]

Demon- it just looked menacing
Warthog- weapons sucked but was similar to a real vehicle

Vamp/ stinger- just classic vehicles

[jogunwarrior]

Mauler
Hiss II

Agreed, that toy looks like it would have been all sorts of awesome. I'm disappointed we'll never see that toy released.

The Battle Bunker was one of those toys that surprised me! I never had it as a kid, or had much interest in, but after scoring one on ebay about a decade ago I immediately loved it.

Ooooh well played, listing by faction to avoid making the choice of deciding on 5 and only 5

what was that one going to be? Was it mega marines or more recent?

[07GT500 COBRA]

Mauler
Bridgelayer (yes, really)
Equalizer
Mobat
78 Chevy Van, no......wait, HISS V

I loved the bridgelayer too. The Joes would set it to cross a ravine and then Cobra would ambush them while they were crossing. It made for some fun battles back in the day.

The Mauler was my go to armor though.

[pryorstemmed]

Mauler
Hiss
M.O.B.A.T.

[Creeping Death]

Damn, you made me think.
In no particular order:
-MOBAT
-v1 HISS
-Arctic HISS
-Mauler
-Maggot

[Joe Fan 1]

I guess my choices would be:

Hiss v.1
MOBAT
Wolverine
Vamp/Vamp Mark II
APC
