Hey Tankers! When I was a kid I had the Defiant. It was the crown jewel of my joeverse. One of the few toys I had to sell along the way due to its size and my broke-ness. I really got the itch to have at least the shuttle again. So I bought a yellowed aged Crusader, and after some some time and a lot of yo-joe I now have this new version. I'm calling it the Liberator.
I figure the best thing a Joe shuttle could have is a quick deployment system for the one man army known as Snake eyes. So I made a Snake Eyes drop pod from the polar sharc. It fits really nicely in the cargo bay of the shuttle. Also, one of my all time favorite figures was Payload, so I did a new version modern style. |

Dude! That is pretty freaking sweet. Congrats on recapturing a piece of your childhood.
Nice touch with the dice decal on Snake's pod. |

Thanks Topside! Yes, the extra Skystriker decals have made for awesome customizing. I was able to make a Flint Skyhawk as well with extra decals. My brother and I are working on a spacewalk suit for payload next.

thats Awesome. I use to use my Shuttle as a hypersonic cargo plane myself. Since my Shuttle disappeared, I wish they would make a large floating Command Center for the Joes. Till then all we have is that PTE C 130

I was really tempted at Comic-Con to get that Shield Hellicarrier playset to mod into a flying Cobra base. I really don't know how I would have gotten it home.

Excellent use for that submarine. I have one and was wondering what to do with it.

Fantastic work, and I agree, great use of the sub as a mini-shuttle!

Great job on the restoration. I like the matching pod as well.
