the Air Assault Glider

The Air Assault glider is the single most advanced glider in the Gi Joe arsenal. It is a lightweight flying wing that can be transformed between its standard 'gliding' mode and its advanced, Cobra-mimicking jet pack mode.

When in the latter, the Air Assault shows Cobra colors and appears to be a piece of that organization's hardware. The 'jet' aspect is fully functional, and the Air Assault lives up to its name with multiple weapon systems. It has a m.s. of 6, and these vehicular characteristics:

Air to Air Missiles (i): the Air Assault has two lightweight missiles attached, with which it can duel with Cobra gliders or other small aircraft. These missiles can inflict intensity 9 damage, +1 if both hit a single target at the same time.

Air to Ground Missiles (i): the Air Assault also has four much smaller air to ground missiles attached, mostly to attack enemy vehicles or even fortifications in a pinch. These missiles can inflict intensity 7 damage, +1 if both hit a single target at the same time.

Flight / Gliding (a): in its 'Gi Joe' mode, the Air Assault can glide per a regular glider, maintaining altitude with average difficulty, gaining height with challenging difficulty. In its 'Cobra' mode the Air Assault can fly at intensity 4 thanks to its built in jet (120 m.p.h.).

Gatling Cannon (a): either mode of the Air Assault has access to a top-mounted Gatling cannon. This rotary-barreled weapon can fire a short burst of lead to inflict the pilot's Agility +5 damage, raised to the pilot's Agility +6 damage in a fully automatic spread.
