the Humvee

As did the rest of the military for the most part, the Gi Joe team adopted the Humvee for a variety of purposes in this particular year against Cobra. Sure, they wielded the Hammer and the Brawler II, both enhanced versions of the Humvee, but... the regular Humvee is somewhat cheaper.

And, of course, a lot easier to replace parts for. The Joes' Humvees are nonetheless rather versatile, as their model has interchangeable weaponry as well as variable color schemes. The Humvee the Joes used in 2004 had a jungle camouflage theme, and have these abilities:

Armored Construction: the Humvee is built with a hardened, solid steel frame, a shrapnel-resistant passenger cover, and all-terrain, self-sealing tires, providing it the Body score listed above, and the indicated Protection for passengers riding within.

Communications Array: the Gi Joe Humvee is equipped with an extremely powerful, gigahertz-frequency, frequency-wobbler radio system. This makes for Typical (6) communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption - not bad at all, that.

Halogen Lamps: these twin lamps, mounted on front of the Humvee, 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.

Machine Guns: two of the weapons that can be mounted in the Humvee's roof are machine guns. Both may be fired to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage in a short, controlled burst, or Remarkable (30) Shooting damage in a fully automatic spread of lead.

T.O.W. Launcher: for heavier opponents, the Humvee can be equipped with a T.O.W. (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire data link guided missile) launcher. This projectile is powerful enough to penetrate tank armor, and has these characteristics:
