If you had to choose, what's your least favorite vehicle from 1987? Motorized Action Packs not included, they will get their separate poll. Let everyone know which one is your least favorite and please explain why! http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87 Tim 121RVC |

That is a hard one cause so much of it sucked, but Pogo had to be the winner. |

This is a hard one because so much of it WINS, but I gotta go with the PoGo simply because the legs couldn't actually pogo. |

Oh, man, I wish I could have voted for more than one, because I've got three really great contenders here. It's interesting that on the whole, Cobra got more vehicles this year than G.I. Joe (of course the Joes for the MCC and the Defiant), and for the most part, there was some pretty impressive stuff. The Maggot, the Sea Ray, the Cobra Wolf, all very cool, and two of them dedicated to specific environments. But -- Contender #1 - DREADNOK CYCLE. This!? THIS thing is the best we could get for the Dreadnok Biker Gang!? This three-wheeled purple-red-and-turquoise fiasco!? I mean, thank goodness for the Doom Cycle, at least it manages to look menacing. Contender #2 - COBRA POGO. This thing's pretty bad, and recoloring it for Star Brigade didn't help it much, but it got pretty well ridiculed in the one issue of the comic book in which it appeared, so I figure it's been picked on enough. Contender #3 - and the one I voted for - COBRA BUZZ BOAR. A buzz saw you can ride in!? Who the heck invented this thing -- Buzzer? Is Cobra going in for eco-terrorism? They threatening to flatten the Redwood Forest with this absurdity? And can you imagine how noisy it must be to ride in the silly thing? I hope the internal equipment includes a good set of sound-dampening headphones. |

I loved... LOVED the Drednok trike as a kid... got two of them. Those along with the Thundermachine made for some epic Roadwarrior scenes. |

Jet Pack. It was a box worn on your back. And totally redundant. We already had the awesome CLAW. And I actually liked the pogo. It was imaginative, had some cool play features, and served as a great observation/command vehicle for Cobra Commander to survey the battlefield from. If only it wasn't bright red.

Buzz Boar was out there, but somehow fit into the Cobra sci-fi, over-the-top design aesthetic, albeit barely. Dreadnok Cycle could have been much better, but hey it was a cycle for a motor gang, finally! |

It looked like something the Dreadnoks would buy. The Dreadnok Cycle looked like something that was built after the Dreadnoks had too much grape soda and were "inspired" by one of those kiddie "Big Wheels" or something... |

Tough call, as there are some oddities. The Sea Ray. The biggest knock against it was the seems-like-it'll-break feature of seperating the sub and glider. (What good is a metal glider, anyway?) Pinkish guns and missiles didn't help. I tried to like it, but just didn't. Yeah, I even liked the Dreadnok cycle, Buzz Boar and Pogo more. |

Ironic how the first four of these polls were difficult to choose because there were so many great designs, and this one it's hard to choose because there are so many bad designs. The jet pack was a flying brick. At least the CLAW looked aerodynamic. Tow huge engines and a set of stubby little wings does not make a flying vehicle. So the Hasbro designer that came up with the Buzzbore used to work for Black & Decker and wanted to use his circular saw desgin for something. The Dreadnok trike was just too ovver the top. The Thunder Machine had the cool look of something that was cobbeled together with some thought, but the Nok trike just didn't have that panash to it. But I had to go with the Pogo. Just waaaay too whacky of a concept. I could see the pilot of that thing walking away with a compressed spine, fractured feet and tibias, and some severe inner ear damage. |

I went for the Buzz Boar here. Yeah, the Pogo is bad, but there is something I like about it. |

Sea Ray. I can't see a metal glider working either. Yeah, I know that sounds weird with the Buzz Boar and Pogo in here too, but these were vehicles I owned too. The Buzz Boar purposed as a digging vehicle so it (and Cobra soldiers following it) could go under the ground and surface behind the G.I.Joe lines. Just like one of those Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors vehicles. I liked the Pogo because I finally got a personal vehicle for the battle armor CC. I really dig the rotating gun and the missiles for some reason too. Tim 121RVC |

The Dreadnok cycle is an oversized pile of suck. I like the outlandishness of the Buzz Boar and Pogo for some reason they've always had a soft spot with me. |
