As the title says.

Don't take into account mold damage/loss, realistic expectations, etc. Just a simple poll question.

I personally love the Armadillo. I don't know why exactly, but I just do. Realistically I would love them to rework the mauler.

if anything, the mauler. while repaint vintage releases are nice and i'll surely buy them, i would much prefer new vehicles that better suit the 25th line figures. you can retool the mobat and or mauler to fit 25th figures but the vehicles look like 'toys' in comparison. place a mobat or mauler next to a bbi/fov abrams and you can see what i mean. better yet, put a 25th figure in the mobat, it looks like a mini tank.

due to limited display space, i would probably only get a vamp if it were reissued.

mobat is the classic, but the rage was always my favorite.

Nostalgia makes me want the MOBAT more than anything else. Of course, I'd prefer a larger, more detailed version, but I'd like it to be callled the MOBAT.

A Mauler would be super groovy. Others:

Cobra CAT
Mean Dog (ok it's not a tank but bad assery yes!!)
Raider (maybe)

I can't believe more people aren't clamoring for a Septic Tank!! Just kidding.

Rage would be very cool. If/when they release Steeler, would he look right in anything but a MOBAT? I think we need one for him to fit in, maybe more classic M60ish than Abrams style...

I agree with a number of the posts above. Hasbro needs to retool whatever tank(s) they release and make it a lot more comparable to BBI/FOV type 1:18 vehicles. I have both the Mauler and Mobat and they really don't compare favorably with the true 1:18 vehicles.

Honestly, I see myself waiting for "new" movie vehicles since they will likely be all new and hopefully a bit more modern, detailed and functional, hopefully something along the lines of the Sigma 6 vehicles but scaled to 1:18. I'd love a Mauler or Mobat that was better scaled and allowed both the commander and driver stations to be useable. I'd even sacrifice the motor to get that.

But I'll likely pick up the Target Hiss Tank if the price is right, just for the nostalgia...

Steeler is a must as an OG character, and he wouldn't look right in anything else. I could take or leave the Heavy Metal/Mauler combo.
Always liked Thunder and the Slugger too, although I know it's not a tank, but in the vehicles line, it should be up there with the Vamp, APC, RAM.
