The R.T.V., or Rough Terrain Vehicle, is an odd vehicle that the Joe team had at least one occasion to test out. Basically, it's an all-terrain freight hauler (like an off-road Mack truck), that is prefabricated and designed to be constructed on-site by a minimum crew of six - who can assemble it in about a half hour.

The R.T.V. is made of little actual steel, being constructed from plastic, aluminum, and foam composites. It looks like a bizarre, futuristic moon-rover, having six extra-large tires, a telescoping cab, and a built-in crane used to load up cargo of any type. The R.T.V. has these vehicular statistics:

C Ty 6

S Gd 10

B In 40

P Ex 20

The R.T.V.'s operation is further enhanced by these features:

.30 Cal Turrets: the forward cab of the R.T.V. is armed with four powerful gun mounts, each of which can be fired to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage in a semi-auto burst, +1 CS in a full-auto volley. They're also supplemented with an ample supply of rounds, so they can fire for some time.

Cabin Pivot: the R.T.V.'s driver compartment is mounted on a telescoping arm mechanism, allowing it to elevate up to ten feet over the body of the R.T.V. itself, and twenty feet over the ground in general (assuming a level surface). This gives it exceptional fire superiority in a pinch.

Communications Suite: the R.T.V. is armed with a fully functional, multi-frequency radio transceiver. This device can radio another system anywhere within 1000 miles, granting it an effective Good (10) rank. It also has at least Remarkable (30) comm scrambling technology.

Crane: the R.T.V. can likely carry at least ten tons worth of cargo, and the crane that loads it has to be able to manipulate a like amount of weight. As such, this crane can be assumed to have at least Incredible (40) lifting strength for these purposes.

Off-Road Tires: these massive tires, about ten feet in diameter, are built to withstand the roughest terrain, and can drive the R.T.V. just about anywhere. Filled with self-sealing foam, these tires are of Remarkable (30) m.s., and can withstand a like amount of damage before being destroyed.
