G.I. Joe Classified Beamish-Style Weekend Vehicle Poll - #61 - Mudfighter (RAH)

[Damien]

Chonky is exactly the right word, thank you. I was definitely out of Joe vehicles by this point, but I was still kinda aware of the line until it ended, but I also have no memory of this.

One of my childhood favorites actually comes from this era - the Battle Wagon. I fucking LOVED that thing. It would be hard to stop me from getting a Classified version short of making it literally impossible for me to afford.

I don’t remember the Battle Wagon, but I’m picturing the wagon the Griswolds drove cross country in Vacation, and I could totally understand loving that thing.

I love that it's a military vehicle while all the characters in the pic look like they're on a fishing trip to complain about their wives.

Wouldn't be the fist dual purpose vehicle. The Ferret was ostensibly built for battle, but 95% of the usage was the Dreadnoks getting it stuck in the mud.

The Mudbuster looks more like a Dreadnok vehicle with a sort of Mad Max vibe.

Either way I am good without this getting made in Classified.

How is the same guy driving, AND firing that impossibly large missile that is for sure boiling Beachheads brain in his skull?

I’m wondering how it is anyone in that vehicle has any hearing left with that thing going off right next to them.
And that’s supposed to be Leatherneck shooting? Here I was thinking it was a later version of Recondo.
What’s the difference I guess. None of them are going to be able to hear anyone calling their names anyway.

Jesus Christ, probably the second funniest thing I've seen you say today. If they do a Classified version of that Beach Head, I will never look at him and not think "fishing outfit". That is TOTALLY how Beach Head dresses for a day at the lake.

I fell into a rabbit hole on tactical clothes and gear. Some of the first vest special ops guys used where fishing vest because they had all those pockets to hold cool stuff. Full circle man.

Day 61 - Mudfighter (RAH) (4/3/26)

The only way to follow a Mudbuster is with the Mudfighter, even though this 1989 aircraft lacks weapons that shoot.

 

[canprime]

Never a fan of the idea of the Mudfighter, but I have a soft spot for it so I would definitely pick it up if they made it for Classified.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

The scale (and presumable cost) is better suited for Classified. Wouldn’t mind seeing it done.

 

[Chooch555]

I'd probably get it, but not something I'm dying for.

 

[Damien]

I do like the Mudfighter and I like Dogfight as well. As I often say here; my big considerations are really cost and space over not liking the vehicles. I just don't think I'd have anywhere to put this and the cost would be prohibitive for something I'm not a huge fan of. As I've also said before; I think my 'G.I. Joe Plane Money' just has to wait for a Conquest.

 

[AceofKnaves]

This is a weird, fun little jet.

I’d consider it.

 

[Spongyblue]

I like the Mudfighter, always have. I have a soft spot for turboprop planes in the age of jet fighters. I actually think it would look a lot better if it has some retro paint schemes on it.
