Wanted the General but got the Crusader for Christmas one year.  Man, I wasn't even mad.  I spent hours with that thing saving the world

None of these, that’s for sure

Worst G.I. Joe Vehicles

My favorite was the Cobra Rattler.

For me, probably a toss-up between the Raven and the Conquest X-30.

I always asked for that damn aircraft carrier for Christmas but never got it

Our long suffering GSD made a great target for the recoilless rifle.

That's what I had, and I loved that thing.

In the early to mid 70's, I had some kind of dark GREEN plastic amphibious assault vehicle, with at least 2 rows of seats, maybe 3, that fit the FULL SIZE life like Joes.

Because my parents were cheap, it's possible it wasn't an actual official Joe vehicle, and may have been made by some other knock-off company.  I don't remember.

What I do remember is taking it into the creek (it was amphibious) and blowing it up with (real, actual, back-in-the-day) M-80's.

If ANYONE knows what vehicle I may have had, please let me know.  Knowing is half the battle.

I thought the Rage was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.... I might have had Snake Eyes go on a number of stealth missions to steal it for the Joes.

Looking at that.... I’d drive the FUCK outa that IRL!
That would be a legit af combat vehicle

I had the USS FLAG and it was as awesome as any toy ever conceived. I took off the bullhorn to attach to my Huffy, for neighborhood shenanigans.

The Dragonfly helicopter that looked like a Cobra was probably my favorite and I really liked the Hydrofoil Cobra boat, that thing was awesome. I always wanted the Hovercraft, but never got it.  I had quite the collection when I was a kid.  The motorized tank was pretty cool as well.

That was the worst GI Joe toy ever. Every time, and I mean every time he achieved orbit in my bedroom he got shot down by the USS Enterprise and crash landed onto the Planet Of The Apes. Do you know what those damn dirty apes did to that poor man, they beat him and tortured him and made my sisters Barbie Dolls watch. So I had to send in Steve Austin; 6 million dollar man my ass, that mother fucker was always breaking down and don't even get me started on the maintenance cost. Finally, my crack team of GI Joes had to go in and save the day; shit even the sailor guy in Dungarees got in on some ass whooping.

That being said GIJoe sucked. Never really watched it.  Got tired of no one actually dying.  Robotech was where it was at.

I got this the year it came out.  It cemented a belief in Santa Claus like nothing else, because my father was on TDY to Cyprus,  and it was waiting under the tree.

Gotta agree with the Night Raven. The Rattler being a close second.

Cobra vehicles were definitely much cooler.
