The A.W.E. (All Weather Environment) Striker is a small, lightweight assault vehicle that the G.I. Joe team put through its paces beginning in 1985. A grass-green, off-road vehicle, this two-man ride (four, counting the extra 'battle platforms' on the side) is possessed of these vehicular statistics and capabilities:

C Rm 30

S Gd 10 *

B Rm 30

P Sh 0

* This is +3 CS when the A.W.E. Striker is actually on a flat, road-like surface.

70mm Recoil-less Rifle: the A.W.E. Striker's single armament is this large, top-mounted monster. Having ten rounds when fully loaded, this beast can fire shells capable of inflicting Remarkable (30) Shooting damage per blast - more than enough to take out small vehicles in combat - if not enemy infantry!

Communications Gear: the Striker is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system (and dual transceiver antennas). This makes for Typical (6) communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Off-Road Capability: the A.W.E. Striker looks pretty on parade, but it is equally maneuverable in just about any terrain. Its 175-70-VR15 off-road tires account for the vehicle's high Control rating (no matter the surface they traverse), and the Nitrogen dampened suspension makes for a smooth ride anywhere.

Quartz-Halogen Lamps: these twin lamps, mounted on the Striker's brushbar, 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.

Roll Cage: while it is an unarmored vehicle, per se, the A.W.E. Striker is equipped with an extended spaceframe roll cage, and a front-mounted brushbar to keep bits of plant and such from striking the vehicle's occupants. This offers Excellent (20) protection from crash / roll induced damage.

Targeting System: the A.W.E. Striker's 70mm cannon is trained on a foe with two electronic systems. The first is an infrared targeting beam the passenger can train on a foe, while the second is a gun-mounted override camera that the driver can position; both offer a +1 CS to attacks made with this weapon.

When the Eco-Warriors arm of the G.I. Joe team was founded, it was determined that they needed a few vehicles; but why design all new vehicles when you have some perfectly fine ones at hand? Keeping this in mind, a few old A.W.E. Strikers were converted into these blue and orange beasties.

Though the color scheme for this revamped off-road vehicle is rather outrageous (in military terms, at least), the Eco-Striker is nonetheless just as effective as its forebear. It has all of its ancestor's capabilities, too, with one exception - the 70mm recoil-less cannon was swapped with this device:

Water Cannon: used to wash away and/or dilute simple chemical spills, this pressurized water spraying cannon also has more or less non-lethal applications in combat. This cannon can be fired at an opponent to inflict Remarkable (30) Force damage per pelting, which'll subdue most ordinary foes.

A few years after the G.I. Joe team was reinstated, they re-continued the use of their old stand-by off-road vehicle, the A.W.E. Striker. Of course, the vehicle was generally modernized, and given a matte black coat of paint for a new, stealthier look, but this is basically the same ol' Striker as before.
