Greetings all!
I just registered on this site and wanted to say whasup to everyone. It's great to be surrounded by those who have as much of a passion for the Joe mythos as I do.

and now my two cents.............Ground vehicles were always the best! I challenge anyone to say the Vamp mark II, Havoc, or even the underrated Desert Fox 6wd weren't super-bad-ass?? Helicopters are a close second vote though, and a repainted Tomahawk would rock this world

just occurred to me, why have we never gotten a "good" cobra chopper?? They were always featured prominently in the Marvel comics?

Welcome aboard man!
The ground vehicles were great, however my preference was definitely towards planes(being that I watched Top gun and Airwolf when I was 2, favorite anime was Macross and grew up wanting to fly an F-14....yup you can definitely tell which vehicles I liked!)

I am a big fan of the HISS II and Ice Snake.

I too wondered about the cobra choppers. A heavily armed gunship would be nice. I liked the spytroops crimson command chopper, that was exceptional for a retooled/repainted vehicle. My favorite cobra copter was probably the Mamba. It looked deadly and very unique.

Definitely up for seeing a dedicated cobra only gunship. If it looks anything like the Mi-24 HIND it will RULE!

The Tomahawk was sheer awesome. The joes definitely advanced their copter technology with that one. Who could forget the Cobra Mamba as well? Now thats one unique copter we haven't seen in ages!

I voted for the "Personal Use Suits". Mechs are COOL! I guess they never really caught on with earlier JOE toys because it was a "modern"(so they say) army toy line. Maybe giant robot suits seem too Japaneezy for A Real American Hero? Who knows.

The 2.5" Iron Hammer customized to 3.3/4" really made me take notice of that vehicle. I went out and bought one. It was great. As of right now, I have 6, and plan on getting lots more. One day when time and money permit, I will start customizing them all. For right now, my 3.3/4 JOES sit in the empty fuselage. I removed the cockpit/seat entirely. Most fit comfortably in there like that.

Mech suits also better enable our boys to fend off them pesky Decepticons! I don't have any Cobra equivelant to the Iron Hammers except for the 8" Sky Bats. I have a lot of those and plan on getting a lot of the Red Banshees. Those show a lot of potential! I do have plans for customizing mech vehicles from other lines for JOE and The Enemy as well. As soon as my lazy self gets up and gets it all done, I'll make sure to post them.

I registered yesterday, (looked here often and found that the people here eat,sleep, and live G.I.Joe) I voted for personal armor, such as the S.N.A.K.E armor, and J.U.M.P. jet pack, I always felt hasbro could have done more in this dept. (remember action Packs) I loved the helicoptor pack, and Mech suits that came out during Valor vs. Venom just show how cool suits can be (I use my arms on my R.H.I.N.O. the interchangeability factors are as limitless as your imagination, I would love to see an updated J.U.M.P. (and yes the jet pack trooper included in the 5 pack is a nod to that, but I would love to see the design staff look at what made the "Real American Hero" brand work, it was devirsity--if I spelled that wrong you get the point* but All of the 82-86 vehicles were in most parts realistic, the rest was what made our line a fantastic one, sci-fi, ninja, the armed forces, space, aliens, it was, and still is the Greatest toyline of the modern age!
