The latest G.I. Joe Resolute trailer reveals new vehicles taking off of the USS Flagg, the Tomahawk, Skystriker(XP-23F), and a cargo plane! The new Tomahawk and Skystriker are significantly different from the A Real American Hero versions, and here is how they break down.

The new Skystriker is based on the YF-23, and going with designations typically used by Hasbro, could be designated XP-23F. last year, it was reported that this plane is a 2-seater. Yet there are more differences from the actual YF-23 and the YF-23 based Skystriker shown in G.I. Joe Resolute. The designers added small canards aft of the cockpit, as well as winglets.

There is a lot of love for the classic A Real American Hero Skystriker XP-14F here at HISS Tank.com, and many of you wanted to see how a successor to it would look like. This is it. Coincidentally enough, the companies that made the aircraft that these Skystrikers were based on are now one and the same. A poll we ran a while back shows that fans would want toys of both, as they only share Skystriker designation in name, and are unique enough to differentiate from each other and appreciate on their own. One is a classic, one is the future, both are in demand.

The new Tomahawk comes off more as an assault copter now. It is heavily armed just like it's predecessor, and looks like it has enough room for troop carrying capability. As with the classic Skystriker, there is a lot of love here for the A Real American Hero version of the Tomahawk as well. Of any helicopter from ARAH it is arguably the highest in demand for re-release in the modern era G.I. Joe line.

Today marks the premiere of G.I. Joe Resolute, and we may possibly see these aircraft in action, so stay tuned! In the mean time, click on the title bar to take a closer look at these vehicles. Yo joe!
