1988.
Vehicles from the Iron Grenadiers will get a separate poll. Battle Barge is a battlestation.
Let us know which vehicle you like best and please explain why!

I would say the firebat would win by default, if the Bugg wasnt so cool!!!!

The Bugg has TONS of play Value, the equal of the Joe Hovercraft. (In play value, not looks)

Had to be the Bugg. Big, a little weird but not overly so, an interesting design and plenty of features, and the Secto-Viper is a personal favorite figure.

I also like the Star-Viper, and I'd probably give the Stellar Stiletto second place, but a slightly distant one.

The Firebat gets my vote; I always wanted one but somehow missed out until the recent 25th Anniversary release. Aside from appearing somewhat underpowered, the landing gear permanently fixed into the wings, and the fragile underbelly guns, I'd say this is one of the best small aircraft ever released.

The Adder was small, cheap, and useful. Unlike the Rolling Thunder, this vehicle was singular in purpose and did the job well. Not especially impressive, but definately a good support vehicle.

A friend of mine had a Cobra BUGG, and to be honest I could never get excited about this vehicle. The size if it was great, but it looked like a truck with a submarine glued on the front. The colors looked like they were taken from the Dreadnoks palette.

I thought I would really like the Imp until I got to see one firsthand, unfortunately it was too cheap for my liking. I also didn't like the standing position of the driver.

I actually really like the Stellar Stiletto. I can totally see a couple of these escorting TARGATs into earth's atmosphere on a surprise MARS raid. I would imagine these small fighters rely on sheer speed and power rather than maneuverability in a fight. Not cool enough to challenge the Firebat for my top spot, but definately a worthwhile vehicle for my collection.

BUGG. It carries troops, two jet ski's, a pod and has plenty of firepower. And you can put other stuff / divers behind the side panels where the jet ski's are supposed to be placed. Awesome and complete vehicle for coastal defense!

Imp and Adder are second. Both two simple vehicles, but for great use. The Imp for mine-laying, the Adder for surface-missile support.
