the Tiger Paw

The Ferret is a small, four wheeled all-terrain vehicle used by the criminal Cobra organization. They are lightweight and heavily armed, and can be used for a variety of purposes, from high speed raids to simple sentry work. They're handy, which is why the Gi Joe team put some to use.

You see, on occasion the Joes capture some Cobra gear intact, and instead of just destroying the stuff, they de-engineer and refurbish the stuff. The Tiger Paw is an example of this, where captured Ferrets are concerned, and the Joes have several. The Tiger Paw has a m.s. of 8, and these vehicular characteristics:

Communications Array (i): the Tiger Paw is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system. This makes for intensity 6 communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has intensity 10 signal encryption.

Feline Rockets (i): the Tiger Paw has two small rockets mounted between its off-road tires. These rockets are 'laser seeking' projectiles, meaning they fly towards any target highlighted with a targeting beam. They inflict intensity 9 damage, raised by +1 if both hit their target.

Lightning Speed (a): making up for what it lacks in durability and protection, the Tiger Paw has plenty of speed to spare. It possesses this ability at intensity 3, which allows it to zip along on relatively level terrain at 90 m.p.h., though it must go slower on rougher terrain.

Machine Guns (a): the Tiger Paw has twinned 20mm machine guns mounted on the front, which are aimed by the steering wheel; it points at whatever the wheel is. It can be fired to inflict the driver's Agility +6 damage in a short burst, raised to +7 damage full-auto.

Side Slug Cannon (a): this long-barreled cannon is mounted on the side of the Tiger Paw, resting to the driver's left. It can be loaded with up to ten 50mm shells, each of which can be fired to inflict the driver's Agility +7 damage, but can only hit whatever is in front of the Tiger Paw.
