I've always see it the same way I see the Firebat's relation to the Rattler
Firebat is to Rattler as Conquest is to Skystriker |

Really ? it should be more like First Came the Skystriker Vs.Rattler , then Conquest Vs. Night Raven . On topic though ... i personally Like the Conquest better , 1 there's more versions of it, and you can put more on an Airraft Carrier then a Skystriker.

I loved the Skystriker when I was a kid. Was and still in one of my favorite Joe vehicles. I remember seeing the advertisement for the Conquest when I was a kid and remember thinking ….."what a joke! How could Hasbro go from making the skystriker to making that?!"
That being said I now have 3 of them and I do like them a lot. There are two main things I dislike about it. 1) yellow coloring 2) I hate that the missiles fall of every time the wind blows. Other then that I think it’s a good plain. Not as good as a Skystriker but good. |

I have 7 Conquest jets. That said I love the Skystriker. It is, in my opinion, the iconic Joe jet.

I see it this way...it is GI Joe...and a vehicle...two things I am all for. lol
Honestly...Skystriker I enjoy better...basically as I can relate to it as I seen similar jets in real life. Conquest...I enjoy, but if given a choice between the two...Skystriker I will always pick, just my opinion.

Technically, the Tomcat is/was faster than the X-29 (which the X-30 was based off of) - Mach 2.34 vs. 1.80.
I would take a Tomcat/Skystriker over the X-29/Conquest any day. The F-14 was combat tested while the X-29 was and always will be an experimental aircraft. Now, I realize the Conquest came out in 1985 (with the X-29 being unveiled a year prior), so I guess Hasbro was taking a bit of a gamble on the future, but I always though it would have been better had they released a Harrier. Unfortunately, Hasbro had other shark jumping plans involved for GI*Joe and thus wasn't too concerned about realism. Oh, and the yellow was a poor choice. That and the tail art was less than imaginative. |

As a kid I wasn't very crazy about the Conquest but now I love it, I actually prefer it to the Skystriker. Yes the yellow has always sucked.
