Eco-Striker

The Eco-Striker is a modified A.W.E. Striker - a small, lightweight assault vehicle that the Gi Joe team put through its paces beginning in 1992. A bright blue off-road vehicle, this two-man ride (four, counting the extra 'battle platforms' on the side) is possessed of these vehicular statistics and capabilities:

* This is +3 CS when the Eco-Striker is actually on a flat, road-like surface.

Communications Gear: the Striker is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system (and dual transceiver antennas). This makes for Typical (6) communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Off-Road Capability: the Eco-Striker looks pretty on parade, but it is equally maneuverable in just about any terrain. Its 175-70-VR15 off-road tires account for the vehicle's high Control rating (no matter the surface they traverse), and the Nitrogen dampened suspension makes for a smooth ride anywhere.

Quartz-Halogen Lamps: these twin lamps, mounted on the Striker's brushbar, are powerful light casting implements capable of producing Remarkable (30) illumination. This helps to deal with night conditions, and can provide an improvised blinding attack under certain (surprise) conditions.

Roll Cage: while it is an unarmored vehicle, per se, the Eco-Striker is equipped with an extended spaceframe roll cage, and a front-mounted brushbar to keep bits of plant and such from striking the vehicle's occupants. This offers Excellent (20) protection from crash / roll induced damage.

Targeting System: the Eco-Striker's 70mm cannon is trained on a foe with two electronic systems. The first is an infrared targeting beam the passenger can train on a foe, while the second is a gun-mounted override camera that the driver can position; both offer a +1 CS to attacks made with this weapon.

Water Cannon: used to wash away and/or dilute simple chemical spills, this pressurized water spraying cannon also has more or less non-lethal applications in combat. This cannon can be fired at an opponent to inflict Remarkable (30) Force damage per pelting, which'll subdue most ordinary foes.
