Defiant Shuttle VS Crusader Shuttle

[Shin Densetsu]

Which Crusader Shuttle is your favorite? I only had 1(which is in pieces somewhere), the 89 release. I prefer that one but maybe some of you prefer the Crusader that came with the Defiant? I dug the contrast of colors with the 89 release, and Payload was cool too. One of my best Christmas presents ever, I wish I took better care of it, the parts scattered over the years as I took it apart and rebuilt it constantly.

I hope Hasbro brings it back someday, I mean come on a GI JOE SPACE SHUTTLE!? That's pretty damn unique.

I thought that the Defiant was the first and the Crusader with Avenger was the second? see this decal sheet:
YOJOE.COM | Defiant | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond! (http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/defiant/)

I like the plush variant myself:

The Defiant complex is my favorite playset ever, so yeah.

I had the crusader, but I've never actually seen the defiant in person.

Its funny cause i got both options covered. I recently picked up an incomplete defiant in real good shape. The only major thing it was missing was the shuttle. The crawler and booster were there so i wound up getting the 89 release shuttle for a good deal on ebay. I "married" the 2 together and now have a complete(i got everything else i needed) defiant but with a black and white shuttle on top instead of an all white one. To me its the best of both worlds and to those who will say its technically not a complete one i dont care cause its mine and i aint selling it,lol.

Defiant!

Defiant..

There's just something about that all-white Defiant that says "Im better." And I have both versions. I always thought of the Defiant as the workhorse of the Joe space fleet while the Crusader was the combat version. Watch out Cobra.

Going strictly by shuttle vs shuttle Id say the Crusader just because the high contrast Black / white scheme makes it a little more visualy interesting. That and the little Avenger drone is prety cool.

I like the extending arm and the ability to attatch itself to the booster rocket. Personally, yes, I would love to see the DEFIANT PLAYSET make a comeback. Given today's economy, I think we would be lucky just to see the shuttle component. I like the all white, but I would prefer to see black underneath and black trim up top like the real shuttle. Speaking of shuttles, Can we please get a cool modern PAYLOAD in Shuttle pilot gear?

I like the Defiant better. The black doors on the Crusader just don't look right to me. Although I do like the mini shuttle it comes with. Still, Defiant all the way.

[BUGG]

Defiant hands down.

Cobra's Stellar Stillettos would chew up the Crusader...
Just imagine a clumsy shuttle trying to outmaneuver those sexy little turbo fighters, armed to the teeth with missiles...
Stellar Stilletto for the win!

Shuttle complex. It gave the kid more to play with.
