So this discussion started on JoeDiscussion board on Facebook and I wanted to see what some of you thought?

What Alpha or Bravo sized vehicle do you want to see made?

Sure, most people would love a Flagg or a WHALE, but it's looking like large sized vehicles are a thing of the past. So with that in mind, what smaller vehicle would you want to see?

So far my answers are as follows: Swampmasher, Pac-rats, Badger, Scorpion, Paralyzer, LAW, Weapons Transport, HISS Scout, Radar Rat, Hovercraft, Tri-Blaster, the Steel Crusher, Wolverine, Stun, Thunder Machine, Swampfire, Slugger, Bivouac, Cobra Bunker, Devil Fish, TTT, Mudbuster, Adder, Hurricane, HISS II, HAL, Air Skiff, Parasite, Lynx, Artic HISS, VvV Humvee, & the Hammer

something new. I don't care to see more remakes of classic vehicles.

I'd like to see a mass release of the Silver Mirage update. A HAL, Joe colored MMS, Snow Cat, Cobra Ferret, Hiss scout, Cycle Armor,PAC Rats, Persuader, and even though its a little large the APC

The Thunder Machine and Devilfish were favorites of mine as a kid, so I would like to see those. I also loved the Persuader, but they held up well and are cheap in vintage form, so there may not be a need to reissue that. Although a modern era Backstop would be cool.

LAW and Snow Cat have all been done already...so why are they on the list?

Though I'm open to the Hurricane most definitely

I would like to see a tactical battle platform redone.

Yeah they were done but at least the LAW was in short supply as a seasonal store exclusive. I worked at Walmart at that time and my store got two for the whole end cap display. And to make matters worse they display lasted two days before it was completely wiped out and never refilled.

Strictly vehicles, or playsets, too? Because I'd love to get an AT-style set with the bivouac and/or forward observer, maybe with Outback or an actual AT figure, or a security set with checkpoint Alpha, and Law&Order or one of the other MPs.

If you're strictly wanting vehicles, I'd love an updated Devilfish, Piranha, Sea Ray, Wolf (the skipedo things that came with the Ice Vipers look pretty good on this as replacements for the originals), or maybe a 'build a vehicle' type thing where you can buy three small stand-alone vehicles that can be combined into a larger vehicle, like the Maggot or Thunderclap.

Something new for me also. But again if we looks at to the new stuff made recently makes me think twice. We know that if they redo something they have to go into the same detail of the past. Some of the new vehicles have just been awful do to those cuts on costs.

well on second thought I WOULD like to see an all newly tooled, larger Fort America which is both vehicle and playset.

Well I did include the LAW, Bivouac, Cobra Bunker, & the Pacrats in my grouping so I think it's safe to say I'd like to see some of the playsets done.

I'd love to see some done like the two packs we saw a while back: Battle Barge vs Devilfish, Tri Blaster vs Cobra Bunker, Radar Rat vs Flight Pod, Mudbuster and HAL, Scorpion & ASP in dessert colors, etc.

Heh, for some reason, I missed the bivouac every time I looked at your OP until you pointed it out, and I always think of the LAW as a vehicle for some reason, even though it's not.

The two-packs would be really awesome, and reminds me I left the ASP off my initial list, even though it was one of my favorite little vehicles when I was a kid. I'd really like to see some of the vehicles released in their foreign variant colors, too. One piece I have that I like a lot more than I should is the Funskool orange and black Devilfish with the yellow accessories. I'd like to have a few more of them, and maybe a yellow and black one, too, for the AT.

I think I would like to see the following:

-new APC. A vehicle I always liked, I would be all over a new one. It would have to have a new top with new tarp support ribs (so you can re-enact the Marvel story with the POGO and Raptor), tip up front end (instead of the slip in one), a new turret (actual turret like the Moray gunner position). Ditch the slide out bumper carrying handle.

-Thunder Machine. I'd like to see one than could have four cabin seats (the rear two could be back to back gunner seats, perpendicular). Maybe a flatbed area over the jet engine with a rear facing turret (use the Dreadnok Trike turret with new gun).

-Silver Mirage. Retooled so the sidecar is on the right side.

-Desert Fox 6WD. Retooled and recolored in glorious og13 green.

-Battle Wagon. Tricked out in Dreadnok colors, based on a monster truck.

-Detonator and the Mudbuster. Another two tricked out in Dreadnok colors. Get rid of the launcher and handle from the Detonator, put in a new Dreadnok-esque item-maybe a refurbished Rage turret.

-MUV. Retooled to remove the remote control stuff and recolored in og13 and Cobra blue.

-Split Fire. Another I could see redone as either a Dreadnok or Cobra Industries vehicle.

you mean Desert Fox like that?

New stuff, really. Old vehicles are cool but let's face it, ARAH ended almost 20 years ago so a lot of it is just outdated.

I'd be game for remakes of old vehicles (like the POC VAMP), but rereleases with retooled footpegs and a few extra bells and whistles don't interest me.

Maaaaybe some reissued new-sculpt era vehicles, though. Those still have a bit of a modern flair, but a lot are kind of goofy by design. The Venom Strike ATV, the Piranha Attack Boat, the Polar Storm snowmobile, the Ringneck, the Desert Coyote buggy...
