If you could travel back, and add one figure and one vehicle to any of the Forces what would they be? :?:

For myself I would have love to seen a Red Shadow APC, and a proper Red Vulture with straight arms and removable helmet to drive it. :lol:

They could have done a Shadow Sea craft so easily:

Remove the little wings and wheels from a Shadowtrack, and add A red coloured version of the AF-5 flotation collar and youve got the start of a Shadow Boat!

Well l would have liked to have seen a Z Force APC Tracked or even better,Scorpion tank type,for light support & recce.

Also SAS force SHOULD have had a 2 person Canoe.

Though yes l agree with above,a Shadow Boat & Divers, "Crimson Tide"??

That Code Name is so good it has to be used!

Also could also have Red October as Red Shadow Sub pilot!

I can see a whole Q Force story, the hunt for Red October, catchy name for a book that! :wink:

Seeing as we've meandered onto Q Force, what about a Seaplane? Actually, what they needed was a boat!

Definately an APC and a sea craft of some sort for the Shadows.

For Z Force I'd go with a mobile howitzer, some really big tracked gun like the british AS 90.

SAS Force could use a transport chopper (like the later GI Joe Tomahawk).

Q Force could use a boat of some kind (maybe a re-do of the Cobra Hydrofoil).

Not really a fan of Space Force, so not got an opinion on what they could use.

i was tempted to do this very thing one day. i saw the flotation collar in a lot on eBay and i had a Shadowtrack w/o wheels and i thought that would be pretty neat. for the pilot, take a Muton and remove the pegs and put a face inside, like the diver. hmmm, just might do this after all :)

as for things id like to see.... hard to say. since ive only been involved in the AF community for about a year now i dont know. all of the ideas mentioned so far are great though!

The AF5/Cosmic Cruiser/Shadowtrak possibilities are great. I've recently done a wheeled Cosmic Cruiser ('Lunar Cruiser') based on an incomplete Cosmic Cruiser with Shadowtrak wheels.

I'll post some pictures eventually (the first lot I did aren't very clear).

Your idea for a shadow diver based on the Muton sounds great, needs to have a catchy name though!
