Are you kidding me? This has got nothing to do with good old Action Force. Even to GI Joe standards it sucks. This vehicle might look nice in an Alien movie to transport Ripley and Co. but other than that I would not know a single use for it.
Normally on this forum Lady Jaye upsets people and the Baron talks sense. :doc: :doc:

In this case, I've gotta side with Lady Jaye, this 'vehicle' is just nothing to do with old action force - its some modern Batman Begins-type thing that just doesn't have the retro-80's-naff-futuristic-cool of the old action force vehicles.

Have to agree with Lady Jaye, I wouldn't swap a Muton for it, sorry. Leave it in the bargain bins....

Muchos Regardos,

Paul :doc: :doc: :doc:

But on the other hand, paint it in :space: colours and you have a retro moon buggy.

Or in my case, light up the fire place and you will have a cool lump of plastic!

Seriously chaps, I've got both the RHINO and the ROCC and they are both well cool toys. Lots of places to sit figures in or have them poking out of hatches and the like. THe little two seater helicopter with the RHINO is especially nifty, and would make a great ride for the SAS Helicopter pilot (ie not Blades who has his own ride).

Okay, maybe it doesn't fit in 100% with the 1980's. Depends on which era you want your Action Force stories set in. It fits in very nicely with some of the modern ATVs and AFVs. I would suggest watching a programme called Future Weapons on Discovery Channel. Look at teh current range of military humvees. There is military hardware currently in the field and in development that has already made the technology in films like Aliens look obselete. The corridor gun actually exists. So do smart weapons.

Got my new Rhino today :)
Seriously this is a cool toy !
Always loved the Aliens troop transport, this is a close match.
Got lots of nice buttons to press and Space Force potential.

Baron if you are still looking for one of these, I'd be willing to ship mine (MIB) across the pond in exchange for a complete ShadowTrak and maybe a junky Shadowtrak or something.

I may be sorted thanks, but I'll let you know if I'm not. I appreciate it, thank you.
