the Attack Cruiser
The Attack Cruiser is a small, off-road vehicle that the Gi Joe team can use to scout out the enemy - and obliterate them! It is armed with numerous guns, as well as a missile launcher and a versatile 'glider bomb' unmanned aerial vehicle.
The Attack Cruiser's operators can use it to fly over enemy positions and scout them out - or if necessary, crash it into them in order to eliminate them spectacularly! The Attack Cruiser is mighty indeed, and possesses these vehicular characteristics:
