When I first saw the Terror Drome, I thought I had gone to some magical, alternate universe where all things were good and your most-special dreams came true.
But if you want a vehicle... it would be the BUGG. It was a water toy... WITH WHEELS! Living in Florida, everytime I would pass soem swampy body of water, I would imagine my BUGG filled with my favorite Cobras, exploring it's depths. |

I deffinately went in vehichle phases when I was a kid. The one that I was in awe over when I first saw the box was the Whale. I came down on Easter Morning and there it was in all its glory. A large Easter Gift like that never really happened so it was especially surprising.
Honorable mentions go to the Havoc and Wolf. These were go to vehicles for me on most missions. I also have a special place in my heart for the Pogo. I know it is loathed and ridiculed for the most part, but when I was a kid the thought of the thing bouncing around avoiding fire and confusing the joes was just cool. I always considered it a step above a Trouble Bubble. |

My favorite was the Desert Fox 6 W.D. It was played with everywhere I was allowed to bring it. Poor Skidmark...what an unfortunate name.

Oddly enough The Ram Cycle, was one of my personal favorites. One of my 1st vehicles that got a lot of play.
I had the whale but I liked the star wars stuff better. Didn't get the orginal Rattler so I settled for the tiger rat which made tiger force passable. Loved that plane & years later when my nephew found what was left of it, he loved it too. |

Rolling Thunder. Christmas of 1988 I spent 2 or 3 hours putting that sucker together. After that, nothing came close to that awesomeness. It was huge and it stretched to be even bigger with tons of missiles, giant rockets and loads of playability. I would load that sucker up with figures and drive it around my room for hours.

Thunderclap was mine. I remember cataching a glimpse of the box before my parents had a chance to wrap it up for X-mas and I spent so many sleeping nights leading up to X-mas morning imagining what was in their and how awesome could it be. It easily surpassed my expectations, that thing could split into three different vehicles, hold almost all my figures, and had a giant cannon that ejected the shells!
