Gi Joe: 1986 Personnel and Equipment

Beach-Head: one of the hardest, meanest Rangers ever to come out of Fort Benning, Wayne is a perfect addition to the Gi Joe team, as his never-ending quest for personal perfection tends to rub off on others - even if it does so in a somewhat abrasive fashion...! Beach-Head comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Claymore: a highly motivated and intelligent part-time Joe, John was inducted onto the team under the condition that he only get pulled in for the most special of missions. When this was accepted, the man began to sporadically appear on Joe operations, and continues to do so to this very day! Claymore comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Cross-Country: born to parents who both worked with large, heavy vehicles for a living, one could say it was almost a genetic imperative for Robert to do the same. It sure looks like it when the man is behind the wheel of his H.A.V.O.C. - or any other ride, really! Cross-Country comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Dial-Tone: an electronics whiz and ham radio expert before he got out of high school, Jack enlisted in the Army to further his knowledge - but found the military life an end unto itself. His sheer joy in working with his hobby helped him excel - and become the best R.T.O. out there! Dial-Tone comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Fridge: Super Bowl champion, professional wrestler, television star, and even barbecue salesman. While there are many ways that people know William 'the Refrigerator' Perry, few realize he has one more job he can't put on his resume: that of a Gi Joe physical training instructor! the Fridge comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Hawk: head of the Gi Joe team since its inception in '82, good ol' Clayton has proven time and time again that he's a capable leader, tactician, and victor in the seemingly eternal war against terrorism, especially versus the group (and occasional sovereign state) known to the world as Cobra. Hawk comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Iceberg: growing up amidst the intense heat of the Brownsville, Texas summers, Clifton decided that he wanted to serve in a much colder climate upon enlisting in the Army. He found his element once he was assigned to Alaska, and quickly became one with his frozen environs. Iceberg comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Leatherneck: Wendell has a long history in the Marines - he's about as intense a 'Jar Head' as you can get. He's so hard core that he attracted the attention of the Joe team, who snapped him up as soon as they could, and put him to work against the forces of Cobra immediately. Leatherneck comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Lifeline: though some of the more... gung-ho members of the Joe team (such as Leatherneck) may believe otherwise, Edwin is one of the group's most valuable members. An avowed pacifist, he will go out of his way to save another's life - even risking his own! Lifeline comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Lift-Ticket: Victor was more than qualified for a bevy of prestigious Army schools - but chose the one that was most applicable to civilian life. As such, he has become quite a proficient helicopter pilot both in and out of combat, and his ample ability easily scored him a team on the Joe team! Lift-Ticket comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Low-Light: lost in the woods for three weeks during a hunting trip gone wrong, Cooper overcame his fear of the dark, of animals, and of loud noises - and how! He grew up to become one with the night, and he's an expert tracker, night spotter and sniper! Low-Light comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Mainframe: a former Army man who was a Vietnam Veteran, Blaine left the halls of Silicon Valley out of sheer boredom and re-enlisted - this time as a Marine! With his extensive combat experience and out of this world computer know-how, Blaine was a shoe-in for Gi Joe membership! Mainframe comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Roadblock: aspiring to be one of the world's greatest chefs since he was a child, Marvin put himself through the Escoffier School in France - and then joined the Army to learn from their chefs. Little did anybody know he'd become one heck of a heavy machine gunner, too! Roadblock comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Sci-Fi: Seymour excels as a laser operator in that he does everything slow; no matter how hard you try, you simply can't get the man to hurry anything along. Of course that's what you want in someone who has to focus a beam of light onto a target miles away... Sci-Fi comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Sgt. Slaughter: a veritable force of nature, the Sarge was born on Parris Island, and raised to become about as tough and as mean as is humanly possibly - a perfect Marine! The ultimate drill instructor, the Sarge is who the Joes rely upon to keep themselves on their toes! Sgt. Slaughter comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Slipstream: computer hacker and video game addict extraordinare, Gregory also developed a love of flying as a youth. As airplanes became more computerized, this only helped Gregory, as all of his loves converged into a single whole, and he proved more than adept with most futuristic aircraft. Slipstream comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Wet-Suit: loud, arrogant, and seething with attitude, Brian basically forced his way through Navy basic, and even his S.E.A.L. training. He then performed his saboteur duties with a gleeful passion, which got him a job on the Joe team - his destructive joy made him very good at his job! Wet-Suit comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Conquest X-30: a highly advanced, forward-swept wing aircraft, the Conquest X-30 is one of those aeronautical marvels that shouldn't technically fly - but manages to do so thanks to highly advanced, computer-assisted control mechanisms, which let its pilot pull otherwise impossible maneuvers! The Conquest X-30 comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Devilfish: a small, high speed riverine assault craft, the Devilfish is built to get the Joes in and out of Cobra territory as fast as possible - preferrably doing a serious amount of damage in that time, thanks to the astounding amount of firepower it possesses for a craft its size. The Devilfish comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Gi Joe Battle Field Kits: the Gi Joe team maintains a large supply of ready-made, prefabricated kits that are packed and able to be put into action at a moment's notice. Though not as versatile as their vehicles, this equipment is nonetheless vital to the defense of their territory. The Gi Joe Battle Field Kits come in Classic and Saga styles!

the H.A.V.O.C.: durable despite what you may at first believe, the H.A.V.O.C. - or Heavy Articulated Vehicle Ordnance Carrier - is one of the most heavily armed vehicles in the Gi Joe arsenal. Naturally Cross-Country loves to point this out as he's smashes Cobra up with the thing... The H.A.V.O.C. comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the L.C.V. Recon Sled: designed to function like a kind of armored motorcycle, the Low Crawl Vehicle Recon Sled protects its driver in a semi-armored shell while holding him very close to the ground while operating it, giving him much more survivability in the field. The L.C.V. Recon Sled comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Pit 3: going mobile for a short period of time after the destruction of the second Pit, the Joes eventually built a third, final Pit complex hidden deep in the Utah desert, one which has proven durable secure enough to last through several Cobra assaults, until the team was finally shut down in '94. The Pit 3 comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Tomahawk: a versatile helicopter, the Tomahawk can serve as both a rescue craft (in any terrain) or even as an assault craft when necessary. Heavily armed and armored, the Tomahawk can take a beating and dish one out, and Lift-Ticket is usually working on new ways to show its capabilities off. The Tomahawk comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Triple T: a powerful, yet small treaded vehicle that Sgt. Slaughter prefers to use in his personal war against Cobra, the Triple T (Tag Team Terminator) is more than a mere conveyance for the Sarge. It is armed with two side-mounted cannons and two high explosive anti-tank missiles - and can easily ram other vehicles! Comes in Classic and Saga styles!
