G.I. Joe Classified Beamish-Style Weekend Vehicle Poll - #3 - Cobra Pogo Ballistic Battle Ball

[Ru1977]

That's right, I looked at the G.I. Joe Toys section of this forum and felt there still wasn't enough damned threads. Like the figure poll, we're doing a weekend version just for vehicles.

1. Armadillo (11/21/25): 5
2. Amphibious Personnel Carrier (11/22/25): 3
3. Cobra Pogo Ballistic Battle Ball (11/23/25): 4

Day 1 - Armadillo (RAH) (11/21/25)

First up, 1985's wee tank, the Armadillo! This was also mostly reused in 1989 for the Marauders version.

 

[NORM]

Yes to the Armadillo. I like smaller vehicles, as unrealistic as they might be.

 

[Chooch555]

Hell yes! I'd actually get both.

 

[Spongyblue]

Damn right, that bobcat on steroids is awesome and my fave. Give me a Tiger Force and Eco Warriors version.

 

[docsilence]

Armadillo is probably the only way I'd get a tank and have room to display it. Unrealistic, sure, but still fun.

 

[Ru1977]

As far as Joe vehicles go, it's far from the least realistic. Little tanks are a thing.

 

[docsilence]

Are you saying the Buzz Boar is more unrealistic???

 

[Ru1977]

I'm no engineer but... I think so? How about the Pogo?

Whenever I think of "GI Joe peak ridiculousness," it's always those two vehicles that come to mind. Those were made the week Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender were on a Hunter S. Thompson level drug bender driving around the desert in a convertable with a trunk full of home-brewed PCP, Ayahuasca, and coke.

Day 2 - Amphibious Personnel Carrier (RAH) (11/22/25)

1983's APC is simple but awesome, with some repaint options! And maybe they'd Classified it up some.

 

[docsilence]

I love that. I think it might be too big for Classified but I'd consider it.

 

[Ru1977]

If they skewed it closer to the Aliens APC, it would incredibly difficult for me to not sell an organ for it.

 

[Chooch555]

The 28 capacity version would be insane at Classified scale. I'd rather a smaller vehicle that carries fewer.

 

[Ru1977]

fewer
