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.

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!

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!
