Here we have a Mega Marine Spartan APC, and Mega Marine Vortex Dropship. These are my first two attempts at customizing a Joe vehicle. I plan on really expanding my Mega Marine team into at twelve man expeditionary unit.
First up is the Vortex: The Vorrtex is based on the venerable Tomahawk platform, but with a number of state of the art weapon, and system upgrades. The Vortex's unique VTOL design combines the maneuverability of a helicopter with the speed of a jet. This monster can operate in all weather and environments, can change course in an instant while maintaining its top speed of 850 mph, and is armed with two laser guided bombs, six surface to air or surface to surface missiles, a chin mounted mini-gun, two cabin mounted M-60 machine guns, and two pylon mounted anti-tank cannons. The Vortex serves as the Mega Marines premier rescue/transport craft. This started out as a broken down tomahawk. I cut off the wings from a BF2000 Vindicator, and removed the rotors in favor of two jet engines. Now for the Spartan APC The Spartan is a heavily armed, heavily armored APC. The pilot sits in a climate controlled cockpit, and six Joe's can sit in the back. This vehicle can hold up to ten Joe's total. The vehicle is armed with two dual barreled 20mm cannons, and a swiveling gatling gun. Also at the front is a mine detector/CBRN detector. This vehicle is created from a Cobra Parasite with a Skyhawk cockpit added up front, and the Snow Cat missile mount used as the mine detector.

I like the Vortex more than the Spartan, but i do give it points for 100% improvement over the Parasite.
