    I've got a fever, and the only prescription is the addition of The Deuce from Brutal Legend and the Mantis from Halo 4.

    the pelicans in halo are way cool but if we are talking about controllable vehicles then yeah the warthog should always win.

    Honestly thought the Mako from ME1 and the Silverback from Gears 3 were going to make the list. Still a decent list though.

    Wait the normandy at number 1. Didn't the designers once told us they needed a new design and one of them came in with a new pair of shoes and they used the shoebox as design?

    That submersible from GTA V was absolutely horrendous to control. I hated every minute of having to use it. It would have been better suited in the worst 5 vehicles in my opinion.

    Plus no Radio or even ambient music to create atmosphere whilst underwater, so it doubles as the most boring to operate.

    And no Lost Planet VSs or Mechs in general what a joke.

    I knew the Normandy would be #1. Great list!

    Aren't number 5 and number 2 pretty much the same thing? Love halo but the warthog actually sucks. shock

    Light cycle from Tron wins hands down clap

    Mantis from Halo 4.
    I am glad nothing from Halo 4 showed up nowhere near as iconic as the Pelican, Wraith, Warthog (Not an all terrain buggy more like the Hummer used by the American military), Ghost, Falcon, Banshee (One of the best next to the Pelican and Warthog), Orbital Drop-Pod (Does not stack up to the Space Marine's one obviously), Spirit gunship, Prowler, Mongoose, Missile-Warthog, Scarab, Choppers, Phantom and Scorpion (Again up there with the best in-game tanks).

    Personal Favorites -

    Tuk-Tuk Boom - A Tuk-Tuk with a cannon on the back! Just Cause 2

    Dreadnought/Landraider - Space Marine while the Warhammer 40k universe contains any number of memorable and iconic vehicles these 2 were some of my personal favorites one for cheap heavy-lifting and one for when the job requires the big guns.

    SU-27 Flanker/Nighthawk/MIG/F-22 Raptor - Aircraft are a matter of opinion however these 3 have had the pleasure of showing in just about every game ever with jets and remain the height of their respective countries ingenuity.

    Bullfrog - A man-cannon what more could you ask for? A troop transport vehicle with a twist to deploy men across the battlefield and war-bears with speed it uses a cannon to fire people across land. Red Alert 3

    skateboard - An odd choice considering all that is mentioned it is more about the journey with skateboarding and finding those sweet trick spots. skate. and Tony Hawk's

    Abrams - More an iconic choice with it's appearance showing up in most every modern-game with guns it is without a doubt one of the most used vehicles in games.

    Dragon - Well of course a fire-breathing ride will beat a horse any other day of the week not to mention it's ability to terrorise villagers at the mere mention of it. Divinity II DKS

    Vertibird/Orca - Between Fallout and Tiberium series they have managed to make VTOL aircraft a popular vehicle. The iconic Vertibird has been seen many a time in Fallout assisting the Enclave in their take-over of the Capitol Wastes. Orcas have been around since the early days of RTS inception a bird that uses VTOL lift to power across the map to terrorise NOD power-facilities and harass undefended units allowing it to become as memorable as the Mammoth tank.

    You do know there was an easter egg in Halo Reach where you could fly the pelican (and also a phantom)
