(NO BEASTS, CREATURES or MECHANICAL BEASTS/CREATURES – just for the sake of this discussion, I will be using He-Man.Org's Classification system for this, which means NO Stridor/Night Stalker/Battle Bones/Mantisaur/Turbodactyl/Tyrantisaurus Rex/Bionatops/the meteorbs, etc...) [Note: POP had no vehicles, only creatures]
So first off, I'd like to know...
What were your top 3 "classic" vehicles that were your favorites to actually "play" with as a kid... (any classic vehicle from either "classic" line: MOTU, [NA]He-Man)
Vs.
What are your top 3 "most wanted" vehicles for the MOTUC line. (any vehicle from any line, cartoon, comic, book, or any other media to date: MOTU, [NA]He-Man, 200X, DC/Marvel/200X/mini-comics, etc... that can likely/legally be made.)
My Top 3 most played with:
1] For myself, the Laser Bolt was my absolute favorite vehicle to play with as a kid! I loved racing it around and then springing it up into attack mode! Sooo cool!
2] Bashasaurus would be my second most favorite to play with – I just loved bashing a group of standing figures or building blocks making them all tumble like dominoes!
3] And while I loved the motorization of the Dragon Walker and Spydor, in the end I think they just moved too slow... So the third place is still kind of a toss up: I loved playing with the Blaster Hawk, shooting down enemies with flying discs from afar; I loved the fast-moving rotating blades of the Roton; and then I also loved the "chomping" action of the Land Shark. Hard to choose between the three, but I think I'm going with the Land Shark for third place!
Vs.
My Top 3 most wanted for MOTUC:
1] Wind Raider. Just so iconic, especially in regards to the Filmation series, it's a must have for me.
2] Battle Ram. Again very iconic, plus it has the versatility of splitting in two and taking to the skies!
3] Laser Bolt. With as much fun as I had as a kid with this vehicle, I think it would make just as great of a "compact" vehicle in the MOTUC line, especially if it includes it's classic two-mode action feature!
I was just curious and thought this could be an interesting discussion to find out what all of your favorite vehicles were to "play" with as a kid, versus what vehicles you are most hoping to see in the current MOTUC line, especially if the main focus will be on the vehicle's sculpt and seating-ability as opposed to it's action-features.

Battle ram
Wind raider
Land shark
I had the same problem, I wanted to choose some evil vehicles but the heroic ones won out. There wasn't as many evil vehicles as there were heroic, but then one could argue that at least something like the Battle Ram's front jet could be viewed as neutral since the bad guys were often seen using it in the Filmation toon. As for pure evil vehicles, there was Spydor, Land Shark, Roton, and the Fright Fighter, plus there were some evil NA vehicles as well.Originally Posted by HordeFan
So are these your most played with as a kid? ...Or are they the ones you look forward to the most in MOTUC? ...Or both?

...Land Shark would have been fourth. outside of that, the others didn't see much play. (I didn't own a wind raider or fright fighter or I would have loved them) Attack Trac, Dragon Walker, and Spydor didn't have much play value imo
Want to see made!

I always wanted those three as a kid, Attack Trak would have been fourth place.

On a side note. I remember have a vehicle that was red which had a grey track looped over the entire vehicle. I can't find it anymore or remember the name or if was even a MOTU but I always used it as a MOTU vehicle. Does anyone remember it???
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!
definitely want the Fright Fighter, but it's HUUUUUGE!!! LOL

Most wanted:
Battle Ram
Wind Raider
Battle Chariot (pre-filmation)
Those are the ones that are iconic to me. As far as childhood vehicles go, I only had the Roton as a kid, and only remember playing with a friend's Road Ripper in terms of anything else. But, aside from my three most wanted, I don't really like most of the motu vehicles. A couple of them are okay, but they are not the strong point of this frachise, lol.
Most played as a kid and most wanted in MOTUC:
-Battle Ram
-Wind Raider
-Attack Track
Bring them all!
1. Bashasaurus
2. Spydor
3. Dragon Walker

1. Point Dread/Talon Fighter
2. Battle-Ram
3. Attak-Trak
4. Spydor
5. Mantisaurs
6. Road Ripper
Got carried away.
Unless the two mechanical horses count as vehicles & not beasts? In which case, that one (not two because Nightstrider is just a repaint of Stridor) tops the list.
Would like to see them come with Fisto & Jitsu though.
