the Gi Joe Motorized Micro-accessories

The Gi Joe team began to make use of several small, motorized miniature accessories in 1987, equipment which can be hauled into place and put to use by any Joe on the go. While they are versatile, they come in pieces; in other words, 'some assembly required'.

Anti-aircraft Gun:

This small, motorized cannon can either be strapped onto the back of a Joe like a back pack, or instead be set up on secure ground thanks to its four support legs. It is built with a recoilless design, so that it can fire in either mode without significant kickback.

The anti-aircraft gun can be fired to inflict Good (10) Shooting damage in a single shot, Excellent (20) Shooting damage when fired semi-auto, and Remarkable (30) Shooting damage when fired fully automatic. It offers no inherent bonus to hit its targets.

Helicopter:

This thing consists of a miniature rotor powered by a large backpack unit. A Joe can strap it on, fire it up, and provide instant air support (or escape an untenable situation) with just a few turns of preparation. It has these vehicular statistics:

Radar Station:

This man-portable radar station can be set up in a stationary position, thanks to its four support legs, or carried by a Joe on the go as a backpack. When carried by a Joe, it can be utilized by another Joe walking behind him if necessary.

This station blankets an area with Excellent (20) ranked radar pulses, which it can use to track targets on the surface or in the air at like rank. The data it collects is displayed on a small, oscilloscope-type display on the back of the unit for all to see.

Rope Walker:

This curious vehicle is strapped onto a Joe like a backpack when not in use. When deployed, it can be used to 'walk' its way up or down any rope bridge, carrying a Joe and his gear without relying on their strength alone to cross said rope. It has these characteristics:
