I think some people are getting the years off a bit. This isn't an attack, hopefully a request for a more accurate reflection of the vehicles.
Lets look at the APC, it was out years before the M-93FOX. I can't find the dates that the Germans began using it, but the Americans started wanting it in the late 80's. I will admit, 6 wheels, turret near the front, but thats where the similarities end. In 93 I was at Fort Lost in the Woods and got to hear all about the FOX, I hate NBC, let alone the idea of getting an MOS in it. Comparing things to the Osprey, such as the FANG II, very out of date. Tilt rotor aircraft such as the Bell XV-15 would be more likely. Just a quick observation, gotta go before Household Six gets mad at me for something. Last edited by Duck; 09-03-2013 at 09:13 PM..

This has now become my favorite thread! Yeah I disagree on the APC also. I think the APC is a blend of some sort of amphibian carrier and a deuce and a half.

The APC is loosely based on the Finnish Sisu Pasi XA-180.

The VAMP was actually based on the FMC XR311.
However, you could say that the modern POC VAMP and the Ninja Commando 4x4 are based upon the Lamborghini Cheetah. Jason Last edited by jlw515; 09-04-2013 at 10:04 PM.. Reason: added image FMC XR311 |

I always thought (Can't remember now because it has been years!) that the original VAMP was modeled after the Lamborghini Cheetah. It certainly looks closer in design than that FMC.

The Tomahawk, is a combination CH-46 Seaking and the Boeing demonstrator model 360 aka the CH-46X because of the tri-cycle gear the side sponsons and more geared for troops. The Boeing model 360 was introduced in 1987, just a year after the Tomahawk was released.

The wheel layout is from the truck, too, but I've seen pics of wheeled APCs like that, too. |

I think the Mobat is closer to the Super Patton prototype. I think Turkey actually produced these but we phased the Patton out instead of upgrading them as I understand it.

This isn't GI Joe, but does anyone know what G1 Transformer Pretender Bludgeon's tank mode was based on?
How about his Revenge of the Fallen version? |
