Gi Joe: 1998 Personnel and Equipment
Personnel:
Vehicle Operators:
Ace: a gambler through and through, Brad likes nothing more than a good poker game - hence his code name. However, the name is fitting in two aspects, as Brad is also the Joe team's crack fighter pilot, who's downed more Cobra jets than you can shake a stick at! Ace comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Heavy Duty: possessing keen hand-eye coordination, the ability to multitask, veritable ambidexterity, and of course a perfectionist's attention to detail, Heavy Duty is comfortable whether he's composing music or firing his Browning .50 at Cobras - and is equally good at both! Heavy Duty comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Thunderwing: Spencer got his start in the demolition business, and moonlighted as a bouncer. When this lifestyle began to wear on him, Spencer decided to be all he could be, and joined the Army. Excelling in the total destruction of various buildings, he eventually earned a spot on the Gi Joe team. Thunderwing comes in Classic and Saga styles!
Navy Assault Team:
Torpedo: a diving instructor and triple black belt before enlisting, Edward made his way through the Navy with ease, and became a full-fledged S.E.A.L. in no time. As the Joe team's first Navy representative, Edward went out of his way to prove himself - as his performance shows. Torpedo 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!
Equipment:
the Conquest X-30: a highly advanced, foward-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 M.O.B.A.T.: the Motorized Battle Tank combines the best features of the various Gi Joe vehicles into a mobile, heavily armored power house. When the Joes need to assault a heavily fortified position, and the rest of their gear just won't cut the mustard, they roll out the M.O.B.A.T.! Comes in Classic and Saga styles!
