ME figures with pre ME Vehicles

[Trazz]

Like the title says. Has anyone tried putting ME figures in either the Tomahawk or the H.A.V.O.C ? Do they fit? Does it look weird. I have been dying for hasbro to release one or the other of those 2 in ME updating, so I can display my figs with a vehicle, since that doesn't seem to be happening I am overestimating my restoration/customizing skills and thinking about buying a classic vehicle and updating it. How feasible is this?

There's a thread for this. They've gone over the bulk of the vehicles. Can't remember where, but do a search.

Thanks, I was searching and wasn't finding anything looking for ME vehicle updates, or classic vehicle updates.

They need to sticky that one, methinks. I thought it was, but I didn't see it when I went looking.

So the HAVOC isn't listed and the Tomahawk looks like they are huge compared to it and jammed in there. Anyone know if they look that bad in the HAVOC?

I'd check, but I never had a Havoc

I believe the verdict on the Tomahawk was a definite no. I think the HAVOC works, but they fit about as well as ME in the PoC Wolfhound, which is to say, not great.

Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll just open the RoC Rhino and squint and imagine its a HAVOC, like that thread from the other day.

Dude alot of guys will just throw a figure in and if it dossent land right they will say "Nope, this vehicle is not compatible with ME figures!!!!"

The Tomahawk and the H.A.V.O.C. both work perfectly fine with ME figures. I have my Tomahawk with 25th anniv. Lift Ticket and Airborne at the controls, I got a custom Repeater, 30th anniv. Life Line and Sci-Fi in the back with all thier equipement and they all fit perfectly. There is even head room with like a 4 cm. gap between Lift Tickets and Airborn's head and the canopy.

The only mod I did to the Tomahawk was cut off the pegs on the seats in the back. Now my Joes can sit back without the old pegs jabbing them.

As for the HAVOC, no mods done to fit figures. I was even able to sit my custom Cross Country in the cockpit sitting upright. Pleanty of room.

I took a few quick ones, sorry if the quality isnt the best.

first up a few of the Tomahawk's cargo area.
Sorry if the figures arent posing upright, I had to bring it down from my shelves and they shifted a bit but you can see they fit with plenty of room everywhere to spare.

Here is the helm, you can see Lift Ticket's got plenty of headroom left.
You can see that Airborn isnt even sitting (his harness makes it impossible for him to sit completely) he's practically standing straight up and still fits.

And now the Havoc, This one is completely un-modded. You can see Leatherneck fits sitting upright, the canopy closses without any hassle and all you have to do is twist his ankle inward a little bit.
