So the gold standard in my opinion is still the original APC.  What, by today's standards, would be considered both a large and boring toy I still see as a classic.

It got me to thinking.  In your opinion what would be a good number of figures for a new transport vehicle to carry?  I figured that a "large" vehicle would probably be cost prohibitive for Hasbro unless it was something closer to a playset/vehicle combo like the republic shuttle from Star Wars.  I know we have had a couple of different transport type vehicles over the years.  The BAT APC, Cobra Ringneck, Rhino even.  However nothing that really captured the old school combo of vehicle and carry case. 

Personally I would think that any new transport would have to have space for at least 12 figures plus 2 "drivers".   Along with at least two small weapons stations or 1 large one.

The DTC Night Ops Humvee can hold 9 figures. 4 in the cab( 1 driver), 1 in the turret, 2 standing and 2 seated in the rear--but its not a carrying-case design at all. The R.H.I.N.O. can hold 13 figures, but the standing ones on the side hatches would be awkward.
My feeling is the ideal number would between 8-12 figures, all seated, one being a driver and one being a gunner-because they thing would need to be armed.

I like small teams, so a Jeep of Humvee that can hold 5 figures is good enough for me.
The APC will always be a classic and I wish they'd reissue it with maybe some control panels in the back for mission controlers.

5 is a good number, like the new vamp.  I wish the Steel Crusher had space in the back for people.

My favourite is the Warthog.  6 in the back.  3 in the cockpit.  Perfect number.

For me, there's no limit but that's me  . I think depending on the size of the transport vehicle, it should carry a propotionally reasonable number of figures. When a vehicle's size can justify carrying five figures and it only allows for two, that's when I could start thinking that it might take too much room on a shelf and even in a collection.

I like the Warthog too. And the APC. No reason for a land vehicle to only carry one or two in my mind.
