So, I know some of you guys are pretty creative, the things I see in the Customs forum sometimes blow my mind. But what about vehicles you would design if you were a Hasbro vehicle designer?
What things would you build, or combine ideas into one with? I'd personally like to see a new or updated kind of amphibious assault/landing vehicle, a true troop transport, an artillery battery playset, a double barreled MBT (as the Mammoth tank from Command and Conquer). It would also be neat to see existing vehicles given kit sets to modify them from their basic purpose, like a radar dish you could place on the Retaliation HISS instead of the turret it uses to give it a menacing Anti-Air appearance. Armored skirting/doors for the VAMP they just came out with, and other kinds of attachable weapons/doodads for the hex-sockets they put in the newer vehicles, even snorkels or missile batteries. Really want to put treads on the underbody of a Fangboat/Moccasin that could deploy for terrestrial landings. |

A Star Brigade intergalactic transport vessel that can hold 40 characters. 4 crew, 36 passengers.

Honestly, go back to what worked. For G.I. Joe, look at current military vehicles, prototypes, etc. and extrapolate a cool kids toy. Maybe an MRAP (hell, they were even IN the movie), LAV, NLOS, Osprey, etc. modified to Joe standards. There is so much in the real world to play with it's a shame when the toys aren't stepping up to the plate.
Cobra...now THAT was always edgier to science fiction, but the toys for Cobra have been great recently. The new HISS and Black Dragon are absolutely what Cobra should be. Just keep going with that theme. |

Also, I agree, the stuff that worked was very cool, although the crazier stuff was also a lot of fun as a kid. The Storm Eagle was one of my favorites as a kid, back before the F-22 was even flying they had an F-22 toy! I'd love to see an MRAP, but I'd think that one of the off-branders would make that. Like, I'd like to have that T-80 that was out recently. Gut it of the lights and sounds and make it an OG vehicle. Experimental real-world inspired vehicles would be awesome too, like they used to make back in The Day. |

I'd love to see an airborne version of the VAMP - a multi-person vehicle that looks realistic but is also fun.

Some form of Cobra submarine.
I don't mean a small, single-seat affair like the Mantis (which I did like); more a large, 18" long play set with conning tower and sides that open to allow for lots of figures inside.

I'd like to see a plane with a plane with an OV-10 Bronco outline, maybe with jet engines instead of props. A nice space fighter like the F-302 or the Thunderbolt Starfury would be cool.
Something like the AMATOYA fire vehicle with miniguns instead of watercannons. Concept for a fire reconnaissance vehicle
