I never had either one of these as a kid, but my friend did. Now I have several versions of both the VAMP/Stinger/Rattler and AWE Striker. Both have their plus and minuses, but I think the AWE Striker beats the VAMP for playability.
Even for vintage 3-3/4" figures, the VAMP was kind of tight getting the 2 figures to fit. Even more so with 4" figures, and again, the VAMP is a 2-seater. The AWE Striker has plenty of room to seat 2 figures, plus it has the sideboards to stand 2 more figures. I think with the original vehicles the VAMP had the cooler gun (dbl .50 cal vs TOW launcher), but modern versions of the AWE (FOE) Striker now have that super-cool Gatlin gun, which also adds a rear stander, now allowing 5 figures to ride on the vehicle. So, my vote goes to the AWE Striker. Jason |

Depends on mission and also which version AWE Striker. I really liked how the AWE Striker in the cartoon had a person at the back manning the top cannon. Wish they did something like that in the toy. They did it with the new F.O.E. Striker and the Retaliation one. Too bad it was a net launcher or something on that version. I changed the top cannon on that one though.
That's kind of how I like my AWE Striker. I guess it also depends on how many people I need to bring with me on the mission.

Two of my favorite vehicles that saw a lot of action in my house. The AWE Striker did replace the VAMP for me as my main action/ high speed vehicle though, and the VAMP became more of a command car for whichever leader was in charge that day.

Generally, I prefer VAMPs to AWE Strikers...but I prefer the FOE Striker to just about all the VAMPS (though the VAMP Mk II (30th) gets pretty dang close).
