For the second part of the 1988 Poll, I had to choose the D.E.M.O.N., as I had this vehicle and loved it, especially the way you could land Destro's Despoiler on top and peg it in.
I made a mistake and put the Cobra Twin Missile Radar in part one, instead of the Stellar Stiletto, so the Stiletto will go here.

Cobra Stellar Stiletto - Cobra's cheap response to the Defiant. As a rocket fighter it's just okay. Not much wing span.
D.E.M.O.N. - Doesn't make any sense, logically. The treads are only connected to the main body by those struts? I like the crew compartment except was the rear guy's head supposed to stick out the window? Why? Desert Fox 6 W.D. - Needed that windshield and a lower dashboard or higher seats. Destro's Despoiler - Another questionable flying machine. A bit more solid than the air skiff and maybe safer than the air chariot. Dreadnok Battle Axe Motorized Action Pack - Silly. The final dreadnok accessory in vintage. Firebat Mail-Order Re-Issue - What? Off color mail aways? G.I. Joe ATV Motorized Vehicle Pack - Never had one. G.I. Joe Double Machine Gun Motorized Action Pack - meh G.I. Joe Mine Sweeper Motorized Action Pack - Only one from 88 I had, it's um...alright for what it is. G.I. Joe Mortar Launcher Motorized Action Pack - never had it. |

The one two punch of the D.E.M.O.N. and Despoiler is one of my favorite Cobra vehicles, but since they are seperate the DEMON gets my vote.
It is utter 80s toy ridiculousness with lots of play value and a bitchin color scheme. Would I want that if I were rocking up to a fight IRL with a military outfit? No, probably not. But what do I want on my shelf looking bad ass? DEMON for sure.

I went with the Desert Fox. I had it and loved it. It held a good group of figures at once.

DEMON for sure. 1988 is the year I felt I was starting to outgrow playing with toys, but I just loved the idea of Destro breaking off from Cobra to form his own third-party faction. The DEMON was a great toy, and the fact that you could land and attach the Despoiler to it really put it over the top. |

The Stellar Stiletto was badass. It was not much bigger than a Cadillac but could neutralize the Defiant.

i hovered over the demon, but went with the desert fox. i love the desert fox. when i completed it - also by accident - i was pumped as hell about it. it's one vehicle i tend to grab when i want to play with a vehicle. it's actually one of the very few ground vehicles i have on display.

I didn't have any vehicles from this year, nor have I bought any since as an adult. I'm picking the Fox solely because I thought it looked cool in the ads in Transformers UK and in the comic story it was in.

I'm going with the Cobra Stellar Stiletto, even tho I never liked the "Joes in Space" gimmick too much. Would've picked the Desert Fox but it just looks so cheap, almost like a knockoff Joe toy.

I loved the Desert Fox. Still fits ME figures, too, but it really felt "fresh" with the Iraq stuff coming up then.
Eventually it was carting V3 Duke and V3 Dusty into battle against "Iraqi" forces aka Cobra troops. |
