I am highly anal. I like to have combating forces fairly even, although I know that this is not actually way battles happen in real life. So, for every Joe vehicle involved in a battle I try to have a fairly equal counterpart for Cobra.
This has not been a problem for me so far until today. I need some opinions. What would you consider a Cobra equivalent in power and purpose to the APC?

As far as troop carrying, my thoughts go instantly to those helicopters with the containers on the back. It never made it to toy form, but in the comics, they used those all the time to move troops.

A cobra vehicle that has limited maneuvering capabilities and a single canon weapon system,... I really don't know man, I mean to me the APC was never meant as a battle vehicle due to its lack of armor with the cloth cargo top, and long frame. The cannon in my opinion was mainly for attack coming from the front or side mostly for offensive action.

Besides Cobra Maggot, Cobra HISS II or Cobra Parasite no other vehicles come to my mind for transporting troops over land.

There's also the APC Transport from VvV--the one which includes the 3 BAT 3.2 figures. It's got a much bigger cannon than anything on the Joe carrier, though.

I don't think cobra has an equivalent. While the Hiss 2 has the transport cargo in rear it can only hold 6 and would have twice the Armor and firepower. If we are just talking troop carrying ability then yeah ok it works but if we factor in the amphibious ability I would go with the Hammerhead or Bugg but again they both clearly trump the Apc on Armor and firepower.

Cobra Fury? ( That Alley Viper vehicle. Fury was the POC name, not sure what the previous name was). It can hold multiple figures.
