Simple question - you know the drill.
The Tomcats are still around, sure, and they were the coolest - if not the best - jets of the 80's. But we got some new techs and jets today. So, if Hasbro was to release a new Skystriker, should it be updated? Not a Tomcat, but a newer jet? (I have no examples, pics nor links, but feel free and please post some!) |

Couldn't decide on what to vote for. I could vote for either option.
If Hasbro decides to do a modern-era style Skystriker by updating it to an F-22 Raptor or an F-35 Lightning, or heck, even just an F/A-18, I'd be okay with it. I'm not as concerned with faithfulness to the original designs when it comes to the vehicles (to be honest, I think the majority of the old ARAH vehicles were pretty goofy in terms of design), I look at it in the same way as giving modern-era Joes current weapons and accessories instead of the old and dated ones from the 1980s. That being said, I wouldn't mind them releasing a Skystriker based on the old toy, as a nod to the collectors who are in it for the nostalgia. |

Hasbro should update the cockpit to fit the new style figures
but leave the design and look original

I don't think Hasbro has the nads to give us a Skystriker, a Whale, or anything else that we would love to see AGAIN with updated features!

That would suck if it's true.

I think they were using seawater to clean the tools lent to them by Hasbro, Which caused rapid deterioration.

Though to answer the question, I'll take any Skystriker as long as it shares the clever design and spirit of the original.
