my AF2 will feature a Q-Force 'Sawfish'. basically, it's a bigger Swordfish with torpedoes instead of SSMs and 2 pintle-mounted guns on the sides.

Getting back to Chopper's original point, I hadn't actually twigged that the straight-limbed drivers were all sold with UK vehicle designs and the jointed figures all came with Joe repaints, but he's absolutely right.

Joes
:laser: Laser Exterminator [HAL]
:jackal: Hyena [HISS]
:stalker: Panther [VAMP]
:hunter: Wolverine [Wolverine]
:blades: Hawk [FANG]
:quarrel: Rapid Fire Motorcycle [RAM]
:steeler: Battle Tank [MOBAT]
:jammer: :gaucho: Command Centre [Headquarters]

AF
:vulture: Shadowtrak
:wolf: Roboskull
:stake: Boat Patrol
:beaver: Silent Attack
:sparrow: Para Attack
:wheels: Jeep
:shark: Stingray
:dolphin: Sealion
:hotjets: Cosmic Cruiser
:hawkwind: Satellite Defence
:moondancer: Triad Fighter

Of course, we had Joe repaints without drivers, being:
:sas: MMS [MMS]
:zforce: ATC [APC]
:zforce: Attack Cannon [FLAK]
:zforce: Dart, Lance & Shaft [PACRATS]
:zforce: Whirlwind [Whirlwind]

And UK vehicles without drivers:
:qforce: Swordfish

And, as always, the exception to the rule!
:shadow: Escape Armour [SNAKE]

Stepping out of my comfort zone now, so guaranteed to be wrong, but did the VAMP come with Clutch in the States?

If so wonder how they decided to use :stalker: instead.

how can i prove it?

it was about four or five years ago, i was looking at yojoe and noticed that the VAMP and FANG were reused as the Panther and Hawk and the Rapid-fire Bike was the RAM and i noticed they all came with Joe figures and i just thought, 'huh, the Joe vehicles had Joe drivers'. that was before I knew about the Laser Exterminator and Hyena having Cobra Commander and Destro drivers.

Don't you keep detailed records? This'll never stand up in court, I'm sorry to say.
