Christmas 1984 woke up to find under the tree all put together in Battle Formation Joe Sky Hawk, Joe Dragonfly, Joe Sharc, Joe Ram, Joe Falcon, Joe Slugger, Joe APC, Cobra Rattler, Cobra Moccasin, Cobra Hiss Tank, Cobra Fang, & Zartan's Chameleon. Also there was every Joe and Cobra action figure available at the time. My mum had found every figure and vehicle she could all year long and put them on layaway for me. Most days we barely had a pot to piss in but my mum always made Christmas something special. I'll remember that Christmas Morning until the Day I die.

Great list. I had several of those vehicles. The thing I loved about GI Joe was the fact that larger vehicles came with a driver and extra space for more figures. Smaller single figure vehicles, unless they were part of a character's style like Zartan and the Chameleon and Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T Tank, did not come with a figure. In short, Hasbro had the great mindset to sell their vehicles with the idea that they would sell more figures. You just couldn't have fun with only the pilot, you wanted another figure in that Dragonfly. Oh for the days were toy companies really put thought into a toyline.

I wish that would've worked for me lmao. I said I needed some more figures for a big vehicle, then my mother said "you already have dozens, use them!" On the other hand, smaller vehicles (thus not as expensive) with a pilot were big sellers. Every kid gotta take that extra figure no matter if you liked it or not.

It wasn’t as big a the carrier , which is a good thing considering how over the top in size that thing was. The shuttle was more space friendly and could still be played with as a ship or play set .

5:59 An important note about the APC, especially in light of your highlighting this feature for the WHALE, is that the APC *also* floats (hence why it's referred to as amphibious). In fact, I think it predates all other floating GI Joe toys. Unlike the other water toys (except the WHALE), though, this made sense in both land and water play.

I was a Joe fiend, as a child. Other than the Flagg, and x-29, and the shuttle. I pretty much had everything else. I've always been kinda engineer minded ( and an aviation guy) so some things made sense, and others didn't. ( Like the tomahawk, having the fan blade, as tail rotor, ???? When it already had dual rotor system)Although the "NOTAR" on the Dragonfly, made sense, at least in the right steps. I really enjoyed the mini sets, that didn't come with figures. The bivouac, hawk(?) Missile system, I forgot what their lineup collection was called though. Regardless, many fun years!

Some of my favorites: 1. Cobra Moray Hydrofoil. It floated and when waterlogged it would sink to the bottom. I spent countless hours playing with it in the pool. 2. The Cobra Night Raven was another pool favorite simply because it also sank, but very slowly. I liked to have it crash land and have the pilots escape before it went under. 3. The Dreadnought Thunder Machine - I put that through so much abuse crashing into stuff, jumping it, pushing it off the front steps, etc. 4. The Rolling Thunder - Just because of it's size. It was like having a mobile command center. I Was only 5 when G.I Joe came out, and didn't know/get into it until several years later, so while I had tons of G..I Joe Vehicles and Figures, I only a handful of the early ones.

Your top 2 picks are also my top 2 but I would rate the Sky Striker higher because I'm just an military aviation nut. I'm going to jump the gun and rate my two favorite Cobra vehicles as the Night Raven and the Water Moccasin. The Moccasin was small and had fewer features and parts than the Whale or the Cobra Moray but I just always loved how it looks. The Night Raven, well anything based on a cross between Fire Fox and an SR-71 is going to be cool!

the Moccasin was awesome. Small yes, but easily manipulated as a kid. That was the problem I had with GI Joe. For every Cobra vehicle, Joe had a larger version. The balance of power always seemed off to me. and yet the Cobra vehicles were (a) cheaper and (b) easier to play with (more durable because there were less greebles and features to break/lose)

I have to admit watching these vids is difficult because one of my biggest regrets is not keeping all of my GI Joes from when I was a kid. I had a lot of these vehicles, mad at myself for not keeping them. Some of my favorites not shown here were the Dreadnok Thunder Machine, Bridge Layer, Sgt. Slaughters Warthog, and my ultimate favorite Defiant, but that would be more of a playset than a vehicle. When I saw Defiant going for upwards of $12K online I was almost sick to my stomach.

B) when you listed the Havoc as a controversial addition into the 10 ten shouldn't be controversial at All! I believe that lists are shaped by the titles we come up with... This list is the top 10 Joe vehicles. That doesn't, to me, mean that this list is the "most essential vehicles in Joe history". This is YOUR top 10, nostalgia should very much be a part of the additions your form into the top 10☺️ those vehicles helped shape your childhood, and, in turn, your adulthood!!!!!

This is a pretty good list. I think the Warthog A.I.F.V. and the Mobile Command Center deserved at least a honorary mention here. The MCC is primarily a playset, BUT, contrary to the USS Flagg, it is truly mobile as its name states and qualifies as vehicle too. As somebody stated in a previous comment, I would have made a swap and put the VAMP instead of the HAVOC.

I feel the G.I Joe warthog is not only deserving of being on this list but possibly even contend for the top spot. I still have this vehicle from when I was a kid, complete. It's a tracked amphibious armored troup career, like the killer whale. It features a double ballistic misle launcher, machine 2 machine gun turrets, a place for the driver "Sargent slaughter " which the vehicle comes with his figure that has a lot of detail to. Has enough room for 6 Joe's inside the Troup carrier compartment and 9 Joe's in total. One of my favorite Joe vehicle's, and we'll deserving of a spot on the list. 👍🏾

Just to mention, as it was briefly mentioned in the video, I remember taking my G.I. Joe "V.A.M.P." to show-n-tell in the 2nd grade. Also, my uncle (who is just under 2 years my senior) had the "(Killer) W.H.A.L.E." which, when visiting, I'd use as a carrier/launch platform for the Joe's "Devilfish" attack boat. Last thing, my uncle also had the "H.A.V.O.C." and I still retain a VHS home video of a family visit in which it can be heard my uncle singing part of the "HAVOC" commercial jingle, i.e., "Nothing's too tough for HAVOC! Nothing's too rough for HAVOC!" lol

I never understood why the Sky Striker expanded its wings with its land gear down. When on the ground, I always wanted the wings retracted. And when it was in the air in a fierce dogfight, I wanted the wings expanded out, but it didn't make sense to have the landing gear down in flight. So much research went into these toys. I'm puzzled how they didn't see how 6 year olds would be confused by the wing/landing gear combinations.

Awesome list, and totally agree, the Whale is the best! Sadly, never had one as a kid. Hasbro did a great job with those, the really found a balance between play features and kid-resistant.

Same. Never had it but ALWAYS wanted it. I had the Cobra hydrofoil, which was great, but I wish I had the WHALE as sort of a Joe counterpart.

The WHALE was my favorite. One that was left off your list that I loved was the SHARC....it was very versatile and durable. One other thing about the WHALE: it was heavily and prominently featured in the GI Joe comic books of that era.

I only have 7 of these :( Missing the Mauler, USS FLAG and the hovercraft. GI Joe was a great part of my childhood. I still love it. I am very happy with my small collection.

I loved the Parasite, that was a fun vehicle. My brother and I were lucky enough one year to get an Armor-Bot each from the space line, they were huge and fun.

Mine, playsets excluded. 10. Snowcat 9. Devilfish 8. Wolverine 7. VAMP 6. WHALE 5. Warthog 4. Tomahawk 3. Armadillo 2. Slaughter's Marauders Equalizer (I never owned a Mauler) 1. AWE-Striker Honorable mentions: The APC. Yeah, if we had the Palitoy version. Or even if the US release had a tow hook, it would make my list. Silver Mirage Motorcycle, yes, it's fiddly and just a fragile mess with age. But at the time I loved it.

To me as a kid the Havoc was just some kind of industrial vehicle that the Joes has Militarized which is why its systems were not actually practical for combat, but they needed to put some weapons on it to deploy it. Its like a tactical Toyota truck In my headcannon. Most of its features were meant for some industrial purpose but they swapped out the industrial cranes and stuff for guns.

I had the Snow Cat but it was a Tiger Force one and renamed the Tiger Cat with a Tiger Force Frostbite, I got it from Asda in the early 90s along with the Tiger Shark. I also had the Mean Dog, Warthog, Badger and the Cobra Hammerhead which I loved!

Between my brother and I, we had all of these. He had the GI Joe base as well. We had most all of the original stuff and I still have my Dragonfly, Mauler MBT, Mobat MBT (wasn't that the original tank's name?), slugger (self propelled howitzer), and I think I have the Warthog armored vehicle as well. I know my brother has his completely restored cobra rattler. We had so much of that stuff!

I was lucky that we managed to get all the GI Joe toys here in Malaysia. I had the Dragonfly and I still have vivid memories of how each of these vehicles box art were. I was also lucky that I worked at Toys R Us for a while when I was 16 and was constantly looking as GI Joe toys at work. Thanks for the video!

Had a few... lots of great play... dreamed of others... the great play that could've been... good times! In my opinion, the post 2000 'RHINO' belongs on any GI Joe top ten vehicle list (I'm aware this is a vintage list so it wouldn't be here). It's one of the toys from recent years I found genuinely impressive, and it works as a tank, troop carrier _and_ helicopter! Limitless play value! On a related note, the recent (ish) re-release of the Tomahawk tops the original in one little way: It allows Roadblock's gun (the big one that comes with a more recent issue of him) to clip inside, and it looks amazing!

Great List Tony! The top three especially were favorites of mine. I always thought the Tomahawk was one of the coolest vehicles from any toy line ever. Cheers!🍻

Hello Tony, I really enjoy your videos. I have recently been buying shells and parts of vintage GI vehicles like the whale, skystriker and dragonfly to fix up for my son's to get for Christmas this year. It's been a lot of fun. I'm not going full restoration just good enough to play with, it will be Christmas 1983 all over again for us this year.

To me, the G.I.Joe General was the absolute best vehicle of the entire line. I am always a fan of a mobile base. The Defiant Complex and the Mobile Command Center were pretty good as well.

Watching that ad for the snowcat I imagine with many of the movies I watched and if I live somewhere where it snowed in the winter I'd probably have an avalanche chase every time I played with the Snowcat.
