1991, bright colors, but with a repaint job these vehicles aren't that bad. Battle Copters not included.
Let us know which vehicle you like best and please explain why!

Battle Wagon. This wasn't easy. Most of the stuff from 1991 was just so -- strange. The Attack Cruiser's not bad, but I had to give the advantage to the Battle Wagon because of the rapid-fire battery-operated missile launcher. It really IS fun to line up a bunch of Cobras and open fire on them with this thing! :-D

Battle Wagon. I can't justify why I love the darn thing. I won't try.

For me, 1991 signalled the end of my interest in vehicles. There were still some decent figures floating around, but there wasn't a single vehicle issued this year that interested me.

Attack Cruiser - Never seen one in person. The color scheme reminds me of Night Force. Hate the gimmicky glider.

Badger - Lime green and ugly.

Battle Wagon - My brother had this huge monstrosity of a vehicle. It was like BigFoot with a gattling missile launcher. My problem with this vehicle is the scale seems way too big.

Brawler - Also never seen one, but if I had to pick one in this grouping, I'm gonna go with this one. At least it looks like a semi-believable tank with a lot of firepower.

Cloudburst's Glider - Don't understand why the gliders get into this poll but the battle copters don't. I remember these taking up a lot of space on the pegs. The figures would be the only real reason to buy these...hence they warmed those pegs for quite a while.

Skymate's Glider - See Cloudburst's Glider.

I have all these vehicles....:

Attack Cruiser - Im still trying to figure out what purpose, if any, this vehicle has. finally I sad screw it, and gave one away as a secret santa gift and the other to my son.

Badger - It has its merits, but its too small to use effectively as anyhing except a command vehicle. Plus, the fact it only holds one figure is lacking...

Brawler: This was the focus of one of my Crappy Figure Brigade discussions awhile back... it had the potential to be a pretty decent vehicle except, the turrent doesnt turn, thers no canopy for the cockpits, and they is WAY too much wasted space inside the vehicle that could have been adapted to hold figures as a troop carrier in the back.

Gliders I consider these more an extension of the pilots than actual vehicles (like Geneeral Hawk's jetpack) so I will skip these.

Battle Wagon: now if you can get past the scale of this vehicle (how the hell do joes even climb into the thing?) The Battle wagon is actually pretty awesome.... aside fromt he obvious cool rapid fire missile launcher, that can function as a stationary artillary piece, the Battle wagon has a cool computer station in the back (hidden by the missile turrent, two side guns, a huge gun in the front, and a double cockpit. Tons of play value !!!

I use mine as an independent forward strike battery.

I guess I'm one of the few people who liked the gliders. Getting Skymate's glider brought back a flood of fond memories of crashing the styrofoam Falcon glider into the ground. Only this glider could and still does take a beating. Night Vulture's glider is pretty sweet too.

Same.

And the Battle Copters really should be on here.

Badger. Great vehicle if painted as:
- a Dreadnok vehicle
- a Tiger Force vehicle (and I would replace the springloaded launcher with something else)

The 1991 Joe lineup was phraught with much phail.

The Attack Cruiser is one of the worst vehicles ever. The gimmick sucks and the design is impractical.

The Brawler is loaded but has a turret that cannot be rotated horizontally.

The Battle Wagon is a cool concept that suffers from being WAY overscale.

I like the Badger as a small assault vehicle, so it wins.
