Dragonfly tops my list!
WHALE and Moray would have been nice as well, though I have both in vintage and they fit 25th+ characters very well. Brand shiny new ones would be nice though. Mobat that actually fits a driver without looking ridiculous and the wolverine would be great too. Mauler would do in a pinch, but I like it green to match the OG13 |

Not counting anything we've already got during the last 12 years, this is what i'd like to see. I wouldn't exactly fleet build anything, but definitely get at least one of each of these, if they were reissued.
APC Weapon transport (with new trailer with a larger missile rack) Desert Fox (newly tooled, with added detail) Dragonfly (the Dragonhawk kind of sucked) Cobra ASP (with enough room for a modern figure) Ferret ATV (one of the best small vehicles ever released if you ask me) Hiss II (would especially love a black one) Checkpoint (both in a Joe and a Cobra version) Battlefield accessories Last edited by biggs; 03-02-2019 at 03:53 AM.. |

A lot of great suggestions here, however if Hasbro were to release many of these, they would need to at least retool the insides to accommodate modern era figures. With other suggestions, like the ASP, I'm afraid the entire toy would need to be retooled.
So, I would suggest some vehicles that haven't been released in the modern era that do not require retooling, or retooled vehicles in different paint schemes. For example, while I know older fans are nostalgic for the MOBAT and Mauler MBT, why not re-release the Patriot Grizzly Tank, which looks closer to a modern Abrams, and accommodates modern figures well. Here is a pic I found of the Patriot Grizzly with modern figures: I think Hasbro needs to focus on vehicles that will appeal to children and adult collectors. Seeing as how the adult collectors already complain about modern figures not working with the older molds (i.e. MOBAT), the finding an existing toy/tooling that works with modern era figures just makes more sense to me. The Patriot Grizzly has electronic features and better play value than either the MOBAT or Mauler MBT, IMHO. Or, what about some of the newer vehicles in a different paint scheme? The Ninja Combat Cruiser could easily be painted tan & black for a modern era Vamp Mark II or black & grey for a Stinger upgrade. Finally, another suggestion, which I know will not be popular with some collectors, is to release some of the modern vehicle reboots in different color schemes such as Night Force, Tiger Force, and/or Python Patrol. I know some collectors might feel that vehicles in these paint schemes might lower the value of "exclusive" releases, but Hasbro has done this in the past with Star Wars without any major hits to the "exclusive's" (so-called) value. For example, "Fruit Loops" Han Solo Stormtrooper was later released with slight retooling in a 3pk. The same goes for "mail-away" Spirit of Obi-Wan. Even the "exclusive" Fan Club Cantina Band "Modal Nodes" were re-released in stores with a slight deco/accessories change. So, whether it be a different packaging or accompanying action figure, I think these paint decos would work at major retail without affecting the resale value of the already released exclusives.

When you post "remake" then I assume a completely new, retooled vehicle (like the various generations of the HiSS tank).
I'd like to see a completely modernized APC. I know it isn't small, but it is a great vehicle with a lot of play options (it even floated)! I would like to see more electrical and electronic options on the toys (lights, sound, etc.) - a spring-loaded missile will not interest kids today. |

We need the Mauler. If Hasbro can make the figure to fit completely inside the turret as well as retool the main 2 driver stations. I wouldn’t mind a updated Bridgelayer sense we already got Tollbooth.
