Hardware

Here's an interesting question- what's your favorite piece of
hardware? For me, UFO has always been about the machines. Some of
the stories are a bit trippy for me, and some of the acting could be
better in spots, but I will tell you that the vehicles always did it
for me. Skydiver- what a great name! Skydiver for me has always
been the coolest deal, tho I wondered when the show was originally
on, 'how does it blast off from the front without shaking and
torching the sub to pieces?'
And even tho I was only 13 when it aired, I thought, 'One missle per
Interceptor? Who designed these things? Won't the aliens just
send, say, FOUR UFOs? FOUR bad guys..THREE missles..' Hmmmm.

Anyway, my diecast 12" Skydiver just arrived- too bad I hafta wait
til Valentines for it. Next up..(hopefully!)..the Inteceptor/UFO
set..

For me it was always the Inteceptor. I was too young to even care about the one missile issue. It has been addressed that G. Anderson thought it was understood that the one missile would fragment to several missiles because of the special effects.

Now there's a good question. For my part, the equipment that caught my attention the most would be the Shado Mobiles.

I must say I do like the stories and the characters; the hardware
was a bonus! My favourite gadget were the SHADO mobiles. They just
looked cool and I think it would be great to modify an APC to look
like one.
