I love the STUN as a vehicle but the python pattern on the Conquest is way too cool.

This polll raises the question, why wasn't there a python stinger or hiss? The stun is too goofy to win. The asp is rendered useless without something to tow it. Therefore conquest wins by default.

I agree completely with this. While I truly loved the figures, the vehcile selection always seemed off to me.

I'm not a fan of the Conquest as a Joe vehicle. It is neat and all but it never stacks up compared to the Sky Striker. As a Cobra jet however, it fits a role perfectly. At the time, Cobra didn't really have a interceptor fighter. The comics and cartoon tried to push the Night Raven and the Rattler for this role but I just couldn't get behind it. Then the Python Conquest came at just the right time where it made sense for Cobra to have it.

I figure they had more in mind to do, but the concept just didn't pan out well enough to carry on. I know as a kid I didn't care for most of any repaints unless they just looked cool. As a result I never did get several of the off shoot ideas. I later picked up some as a collector, but I still don't have a large portion of the repaints.

Python Defiant, by far ;)

And yeah I was also figuring that they had more planned to do for this line

Had to go with the Conquest, although I don't have a problem with the other two vehicles. I've only ever seen a very small and rather blurry picture of the Naja Hidro-Helicoptero, so I can't really comment on that.

I'd like to think there was more in the works. A Python HISS or Stinger would've been awesome. Heck, still WOULD be. We know they have the molds to both, and we know from the new Conquest they can still pull off the paint pattern...!

A.S.P. - What would have really worked is if the Stun could tow the A.S.P., but alas, no tow hook. And the A.S.P. just looked too good in dark blue.

Conquest - I voted for this one too, but even so I really never liked the idea of Joe vehicles becomming Cobra ones, especially high-tech ones like the Conquest.

Stun - No Python Patrol Moto-Viper??? What a rip! The one thing this vehicle is good for is donating hub caps to dioramma sets.

Naja Hidro-Helicoptero - I didn't know this vehicle existed until just now. Can't say I was missing out on much.

I went with the ASP just because I really like the ASP. I really like that Python Swampfire but I will never own it. Too hard to find.

I voted for the Conquest, but it was a really hard choice.

ASP - I've always thought that the PP ASP looked great. The ASP is a fun vehicle, but like most people have said, it's only flaw is that it requires another vehicle for it to be mobile.

Conquest - This works so well for Cobra and in the PP color scheme, it looks like a completely different vehicle.

STUN - Most people don't like the STUN, but I find it to be a fun vehicle (the original and the PP version). The only probably with this version is there isnt' a really good driver for it.

PP Dragonfly - This one conceptually makes sense. A radar invisible boat that can fly. I like the idea. I can't really imagine having an entire fleet of these, but a few would be cool.

The Helicoptero.
I alway imagined the PP was a jungle force, just like the TF. The Helicoptero therefore is most suitable for that job.
