the Patriot Grizzly

Another in a long line of powerful Gi Joe tanks, the Patriot Grizzly is a modern fighting vehicle from top to bottom. The original model of this mighty ground combat vehicle is equipped with a bevy of enemy-crushing weaponry, and has the following vehicular characteristics:

Autocannon: on the front of the Patriot Grizzly is a fixed autocannon, a rotary-barreled machine gun that can only hit whatever is in front of the vehicle. It inflicts rank value 20 Piercing damage in a short burst, raised +1 RS when firing a sustained burst of ammunition.

Communications Array: the Patriot Grizzly is equipped with an extremely powerful, gigahertz-frequency, frequency-wobbler radio system. This makes for rank value 20 communications power (with a 100 mile range) that has rank value 30 signal encryption - not bad at all, that.

Gear Cases: the Patriot Grizzly has, spread about it, various cases filled with useful gear. It has a fully stocked first aid kit, tool kit, and a small case for its pilots' arms and ammo, should the Patriot Grizzly get disabled and its occupants have to fight it out directly.

Headlights: there are two lamps on the front of the Patriot Grizzly tank. Combined they can be used to cast rank value 20 illumination over a sector, lighting it up quite nicely, and in ambush situations can be used to blind an opponent for 1d10 turns (though usually just once).

Machine Gun Mount: mounted on a cupola atop the Patriot Grizzly's main tank turret, this secondary gun can be swiveled in a 360 degree arc to provide support to the vehicle's operation. It can inflict rank value 20 Piercing damage in a short burst, raised +1 RS when fired fully automatic.

Radar Array: the Patriot Grizzly is equipped with a powerful ground radar unit, which lets it track objects in its vicinity. This vicinity is defined as everything within its line of sight inside a mile diameter of its location, thus functioning at rank value 2.

Side Turrets: atop the Patriot Grizzly's turret lies two small guns, one to each side, which are controlled by its internal occupants. These guns can be fired to inflict rank value 10 Piercing damage in a short burst, raised to rank value 20 when they're opened up wide.

Tank Cannon: the Patriot Grizzly's main weapon is its massive cannon. It can fire incredibly large shells that will inflict rank value 50 Piercing damage to their target, along with -1 RS Slashing (fragmentary) damage to all uncovered targets in the sector struck. It has a five mile range.

Thermal Imaging: in addition to its standard visual detection methods, the Patriot Grizzly has the ability to spy upon its environment where the infrared spectrum is concerned. It can see radiant IR objects and heat sources with rank value 10 ability.
