Wow, a lot of thought gone into those lists, good work.

Picking one item from the lists, Firebat is definitely a Shadow vehicle that could and perhaps should have been. RIght colour to start with, but more importantly the design was a bit out of the ordinary and fills one gap in their inventory (although admittedly the Roboskull had atmospheric capabilities). These things can be had brand new for $6 on ebay in the US so I'm going to have to get one and a sheet of Enemy stickers sometime.

My kid has a tactical battle platform but we've left the AF specific stickers off 'cos it still works really well in its original colours as both a Q and Enemy base, so he swaps them in and out depending on the game. Perhaps a modded version of the platform (with some outlandish features) and space for the Laser Exterminator might have worked as a release for the Enemy.

Phantom X-19 - something for :chopper: to fiddle with until the Herc (which obviously must be part Spectre gunship) and Harrier turn up.
AWE Striker - interesting idea. It is an SF vehicle originally. But would be great in :zforce:

:zforce:
WHALE s'pose. But it's also a great bit of kit for :enemy: as several customs already showed.
Skystriker - :zforce: kit all the way.

Doesn't cut it:
Dragonfly - too flaky a bit of kit. Kraken Wakes did come up with an interesting airmobile solution though.

Mauler - :steeler: kit is much more pitch perfect. The Mauler would really work as :enemy: , lacking the elegance of the Shadowtrak and Laser Exterminator.

While we have the chance, why not move another bit of kit to :zforce:

Image

:qforce:
Moray - it does work in :qforce: But :enemy: need first dibs.

Image

Transportable Battle Platform - Yeah, this is a sweet fit.

:space:

Still looking. Skystriker is :zforce: and Conquest X-30 would be more of an :enemy: or even :sas: bit of kit.
Basically, they have plenty of kit. All we need after 30 years is the goddamn :space: base.

:enemy:
Moccasin - pure :enemy:
Moray - 'nuff said.
Night Raven - Awesome bit of kit :baron: obviously stole from :AFLogo: at the blueprint stage.
Rattler - It's gonna work in red & black and make up the numbers.
ASP - Borderline. If :vulture: can tow it, then maybe.

And what about CLAW? And what about bringing the FANG to :enemy:? And the Mauler issue?
