the Forest Fox

The Forest Fox is a relatively small Gi Joe vehicle that is a member of its B.T.R. (Built To Rule) equipment family. This means that it can be assembled in one of two different configurations in the field, usually only requiring a few minutes of work, and minimum tools.

Though plan on a hex key being one of them.

The Forest Fox is a forest-colored (green and tan) vehicle that can be configured as either a Jeep ™ or a troop transport, depending on how many Joes you need to move through the woods. It is designed to have these vehicular characteristics in either mode:

Autocannons (a): the Forest Fox has four (count 'em) rotary-barreled machine guns. Individually, these guns will inflict the gunner's Agility +6 damage in a short burst of ammunition, raised to the gunner's Agility +7 damage in a continuous stream of fire.

However, this can be increased. In its Transport mode, the Forest Fox can train two guns on a single target, either through the front or the rear of the vehicle. This increases the net damage inflicted by +1, regardless of which mode of fire is being used.

In its Jeep ™ mode, the Forest Fox has four front-facing autocannons! Two are mounted in the center and two are usable by each occupant of the vehicle. If two guns are trained on a foe, add +1 to the damage, and if all four are, increase it by +2!

Body Armor (s): the Forest Fox is built from durable components, despite being easily reconfigured in the field. The vehicle itself has an effective m.s. of 10 - assuming it is assembled correctly - and offers its occupants a +2 protection rating.

Communications Array (i): the Forest Fox is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This provides intensity 4 comm power (a 50 mile range) with intensity 10 signal encryption.

Lightning Speed (a): the Forest Fox can move pretty darn fast. It has a top speed of 90 miles per hour in either of its modes, which is intensity 3 movement. It is reduced to intensity 2 (about 60 miles per hour) when going off-road, as its drivers are wont to do.

Missile Launchers (i): the Forest Fox is armed with two missile launchers, in Jeep ™ mode they're both front facing, while in Transport mode there's one pointing forward and one pointing backwards. The projectiles it launches inflict intensity 11 damage, +1 if both are used at once.

Passengers: the Forest Fox can carry more than one Joe into battle. In its Jeep ™ mode, it has two front-facing seats, which lets the driver carry a spare Joe with him. In its Transport mode, the Forest Fox has one front and one rear-facing seat.

Shape Change (a): the primary design feature of all B.T.R. items, the Forest Fox can serve as one of two different vehicles, depending on its operator's needs. With just a few moments of work in the field, said operator can convert it between its Jeep ™ and Transport modes (and back again).
