If you had to choose, what's your least favorite vehicle from 1990?
Iron Grenadiers not included, they will get their separate poll.
Let everyone know which one is your least favorite and please explain why!

They all range from good to okay, so it's not an easy pick.

It comes down to the Hurricane being fragile and the Hammerhead being another submarine tank with neon green parts.

So, I give it to the Hammerhead. The main vehicle's interior, or mostly a lack of, was half-assed compared to older vehicles, too.

Cobra really needed a transport copter but Hasbro preferred they have wheeled submarines. Whatever.

In my opinion the Hurricane is cobra's only air to air combat jet and it is full of awesomeness it holds 2 pilots and the spring loaded gimick was the little drone thing which is removable and still looks killer without it by far my favorite cobra jet.
I choose the Dictator it just makes no sense what-so-ever, where is the engine on that thing.

Dictator. I nearly voted for the Hurricane, but remembered that it was the pilot figure I didn't much care for, not the Hurricane itself. The Piranha is actually a pretty cool boat. The Hammerhead, while not as impressive as the BUGG, is still a very decent vehicle. I was never impressed with the Rage as some people seem to have been, but I don't dislike it enough to make it the least favorite. The Dictator just seemed sort of thrown together, and the character of Overlord never amounted to much until the Club, somewhat following the lead of the Devil's Due comics, put him in charge of the COIL. I mean, he wasn't Cobra Commander, he wasn't Serpentor, he was just sort of -- pointless.

Unlike the Joe poll, this one was easy. The Dictator looks really silly and doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose.

The other vehicles are all pretty solid in my opinion, though the Piranha does feel a bit oversized, and they could all use less neon color choices. As I've mentioned in the past, I also feel that the Hurricane is the best Cobra plane ever.

I have to abstain. I love every last one of these crazy bastids.

Pretty good year for Cobra. While I'm not fond of the colors on the Piranha, it is still a cool vehicle.

Dictator was just kinda there. Not impressed by it in any way, so it gets my vote.

I always saw the function of the Dictator as being OverLord's 'triumphal chariot', of sorts. It's what he drives thru the streets of whatever Eastern European hellhole he rules with an iron grip, then when the peasants are revolting (when aren't they?), the treads fold up and he rockets away to let his guards take the brunt of their ire.

That's what the package implies.http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/90/dictator/dictator_box_back.shtml

It's no more impractical or absurd than the other small enemy character vehicles (Air Chariot, Air Skiff, Despoiler, Evader)...which actually, never seem to get much love from fans anyway.

Dictator.
I like all vehicles from this year. The Dictator wasn't that bad, but since it was Overlord's, and Overlord didn't get much playtime himself, so did the vehicle.
The Hammerhead is cool. Finally some decent mini-subs and that cool decompression chamber.
Piranha is just an awesome speedboat and those dept charges really did it for me.
The Hurricane is my favorite plane (besides the Rattler).
The Rage is a decent urban vehicle with all kinds of weapons that gave it huge firepower.
