I took the turret off of one of the jeeps and mounted it on a Cobra HISS. It's probably my favorite tank in the fleet now. The jeeps make for excellent Stingers without just being a recolor of the Vamp.
I never got the Beast, but I did get a Rain Fire recently. Rotors blades are ridiculously small, but over all pretty cool. It'll probably be my next custom project once I get my JoyToy AirCav guys in.
Oh, I meant the first 4 vehicle set that included a Jeep (like the one they used for the Kong movie line), one of those shitty tiny jets they keep releasing, a chintzy little boat and a decent little tank. It really isn't worth the $10 I paid. That Alien APC thing is a fucking embarrassment. Like, it's actually embarrassing a modern toy company actually released that piece of shit and tried charging $15 for it.
The Rain Fire is fine and I don't even mind the tiny rotors too much, but it's also got a cramped cargo/troop area, and worth more to me sold on ebay than it is taking up space in my home. The Beast would be great except for the weird front canopy, the shitty molded handle on top (they didn't even try to hide it) and the cramped cargo/troop area. Both of them are too big to have such little space devoted to actual play. In the end, both the Kid Connection helicopter (or the True Heroes much better version) and the True Heroes C-130 are just better toys for my purposes.
