I think the APC had a lot of play value as a kid, due to how many figures it could fit inside and drive around.
As an adult collector, my issue with it is that it doesn't display well. Once you put the top on, it's impossible to see any of the figures you've put in it. I don't think that should necessarily disqualify it from this competition, but it does hold me back from voting for it, personally. |

Wanna say HISS but that HQ was just the greatest thing to find at a flea market as a kid.
Before I had the FLAGG that was pretty much me finally having a real base for my Joes instead of the GOBOTS AT-AT looking thing as their base. |

The Z-Force ATC is superior to the Joe APC.

APC - the lack of a tow hook and the gun that has no figure interaction aspect to it, those hurt it.
Cobra F.A.N.G. - Too fragile, the red bar pieces, missile fall off too easy. Cobra H.I.S.S. - Solid, except the small plastic pins that elevate the guns. Dragonfly XH-1 - Rotors were fragile, my friend's broke off. Falcon - The gliders were garbage. Flame Thrower PAC/RAT - another fragile one, the leg connector snaps. Headquarters Command Centre - It's a big garage. It's neat, but still...mostly a parking garage. JUMP - Wasn't that from 1982...you get Grand Slam here to make up for the fact the set besides the pack, is MEH. |

As someone a little bit newer to GI Joe collecting, I've always had my eyes on an APC. I finally got one recently, and I got to say, I love it! Troop carriers are my favorite vehicles in any franchise, and it's a little bit of a shame we never got a ME version of it.
The HISS tank is a solid second though, it's just too iconic! |

48 hours left and the HQ is holding a small lead over the HISS!

I'd love to get my hands on an ATC, even an incomplete one, just to customize. Jason |
