What GI Joe Needs?
 

Ok, I don't know if we've done this before, but we have done somehing similar...tell me what you think the GI Joe could use more of. For Example, they have the RHINO, Monster Blaster APC, the old '84 APC and the WArthog Tracked APC, but what they DON'T have is a multi wheeled APC like the Marine Corps LAV (Or he Army Stryker for those of you who think that the Army came up with that awesome Idea we have been using for like 30+ years! LOL!!)

REASON; All of the APC's listed above can be taken out by a landmine blowing off one wheel! A Multi wheeled APC can lose up to 5 (in the case of the 8 wheeled LAV) and still keep rolling.


What else the GI Joe Team Needs; An Osprey. REASON; Since the Tomahawk, we have not seen a troop carrying Chopper that can deliver troops into battle and has the ability to allow troops to rappel from the sides or back into the fight! And if NOT an Osprey per se, a troop carrying airship that can hover!

A Landing Craft!

Reason; In GI Joe Issue #1 they showed the LCT, which Gave GI joe the ability to make amphbious landings with troops AND equipment. The APC and the WHALE allow Troops to come ashore in a fight, but what about equipment? (Mobats, Maulers, Vamps) I mean if they can make a giant MobileHelipad (The General) then why not a decent sized Landing craft!?!?

Ok...there are MY Suggestions....Agree? Disagree?

As Mike MEyers says "discuss...."

I've thought about that with the LAV. There was that one vehicle, i think it's called the Pulveriser that had like eight wheels going down each side, but that was just an artillary piece.

I've always felt that the Joes could use more logistics vehicles. There is the APC for troop transport, but what about some kind of truck on which to transport a tank or Wolverine. Maybe the Desert/Jungle Strike Humvess could be retooled to resemble the M-998 cargo version of the Humvee.

An Osprey or other troop transport aircraft would be great, plus the movie had the Howler, which was, for all intents and pouposes, a jet powered Osprey.

While five Marines are as good as any battalion of Army SpecOps, more Marines.

The Night Rhino/Warthog almost got it right by duplicating the Marine Corps' LVTP-7 AMTRAC, but an amphibious assault vehicle would be nice. While the Night Rhino/Warthog looks almost right, it's about half as long as it should be and the hatches open on the side rather than the top and back end.

It needs Head.

"What does everyone want???

What does everyone need???"

It's an Al Snow thing. :P

You know Frank? If been thinking about what I would like in vehicle form for Joes, but your proposition is diferent. What do Joes need?

Can we extend it to the COBRAS?

Two of the vehicles you guys brought up where made by Chap Mei. If they had a better distribution we would all have an good scaled Osprey and LVTP-7 AMTRAC. About a landing craft we have to say it could be a good idea for a toy. Not that complicate to build and would be awesome to play with it in pool. With some room for the Mauler and done.

Like the LAV I think they did the Persuader, not the same thing, but close to it. I don't have it, but heard about it has a suspension on the wheels.

Cobras need a better airtransport.

I've got that LVTP-7. It's crap. I'm actually trying to get rid of it. If it had been made to Joe standards, or even to the standards of their SEAL Boat or a few other items it might be worth it, but essentially it's nothing more than a hallow shell.

Is that what that thing is called? I guess I called it the Pulveriser.

A landing craft! A huge aviation type vehicle like the chopper that picked up the weather dominator parts In The sunbow cartoon! Big enough to fit a rattler! And the main thing is women! More women! Good idea with the night stalkers but cheaper like a toyrus box set of the ladies of gi Joe and cobra and make em all new characters! just my two cents!

Do you just want women in the big helicopter, DD?LOL. I like the idea of an amphibious barge/combination weapons platform. It delivers vehicles and men and can stay offshore and defend itself. it could have a small helicopter or vtol or JUMP pad too. and women! More women...for DD:p

My Joes have their own LAV thanks to 21st Century toys, but I'd like to see a decent MLRS with a realistic enclosed cabin rather than the usual open crew areas Hasbro seems to favour. And Cobra deserves a decent transport chopper so I don't have to use the Chap Mei one I currently have. :)

C30
 

I would like to see a C-130 Hercules airplane.

And the beauty of that particular C-130 is that it's actually an AC-130 Gunship. "Bring the rain," so to speak.:):):)
