+1 on the HAVOC, but the Battle Tank is better than the Mauler I think. Its Z Force green :mrgreen: What about the Wolverine? That should be on there in place of the Night Raven.

I also don't care for the RAM, would have liked to have seen a jeep, either the VAMP or Stinger. Also a big fan of the Whirlwind and Wolverine.

i'd have to agree with ODB on this one, the Mauler is awesome.

A.W.E. should be in there some place, H.A.V.O.C is just a little too far fetched & unrealistic for my tastes.

I can see why the Skystriker made it so high, I think most kids in the States owned one.
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

For playability I'd have the Dragonfly and Vamp somewhere in the list, but that's a damned good set in there already.

Never was that keen on the Tomahawk. But then I didn't own one as a kid.

Rolling Thunder should've been in there.

The best thing about Rolling Thunder is from its tv ad and the line "Cobra's running scraed, is starting to wonder, can they survive the Rolling Thunder"
