>>10640200A lot of those early 90s vehicles were really fun, though none of em seem to ever be as iconic as the late 80s stuff.
Personally, one of my favorite underrated Joe vehicles was the Mudbuster. A chunky armored pickup 4x4 with a huge harpoon launcher, working rear suspension and rubberband loaded ramming bumper. I never had the Vamp, so this was always my main light transport for the Joes (this and the Dino Hunter variant of the Desert Fox).
They went full on with the gimmicks at that point, but unlike the Joes themselves and many other action figure lines, the gimmicks on some of these vehicles were awesome. They had those two jets with hidden water cannons, a Cobra bulldozer with drop and fire missiles or that transforming Joe tank with the quick shot line of missiles. Gliders with pilots, a sub that could actually kind of rise and submerge on it's own, and then there was the Battle Wagon with it's ridiculously oversized rapid fire gatling missile launcher. A lot of these things had play features that were actually features and not toy ruining gimmicks.
Joe and Cobra vehicles were always at their best when they just went crazy with the designs.
