1989.
Vehicles from Tiger and Night Force, Slaughters Marauders and Battleforce 2000 will get a separate poll.
Let us know which vehicle you like best and please explain why!

I voted for the Crusader, because (a) it's a cool vehicle and (b) it was a good way to get the core Shuttle from the Defiant system for those that missed out on or couldn't afford the Defiant. And I've always been impressed with Payload, as well.

1989 was a weird year in my opinion. The Mudfighter is cool, but peculiar. The Raider is impressive, but doesn't really look like anything even remotely military.

Last weekend I obtained the Crusader for the first time, and I gotta say I love it! Cool design, hidden lasers, nice landing gear, and it even comes with a white Night Raven Drone....err, I mean Scout Craft. The believability is a little bit on the low side considering it doesn't have enough wingspan to support an atmospheric landing, but for a vehicle this cool I'm willing to let it slide.

I was never a fan of the Arctic Blast, it looked like a big lawn airator to me.

I find the Mudfighter to be surprisingly cool looking, even though it has all the elements of a dud. Having a cool driver doesn't hurt either.

I've never had or seen a Raider. Not being a fan of the two-vehicles-iin-one concept, I can't imagine it would be a favorite of mine, though I do think the elevated missile launcher looks pretty cool in photos.

As an artillary piece, Thunderclap was huge and intimidating. Again, the three-vehicles-in-one thing kills it for me, as the tractor & trailor pieces attempting to be some sort of tank/assault vehicle pieces just didn't work.

The Tri-Blaster and Radar Rat are cheap junk in the same line as the Cobra Devastator and Hovercraft, they have no place in my GI Joe motor pool.

The Crusader is very good, I may have purchased my incomplete one for around $5. So I am happy with that.

Have not seen a Thunderclap but voted for it. That is a big gun.

the raider is awesome; it's the closest thing to a scorpion tank for master chief to ride around on.

Mudfighter.
Woohoo, finally a bomber! I like the Gatling guns under the nose, too bad those weren't highlighted somehow.
