the Silver Mirage

The Silver Mirage fills the role of an earlier, slightly antiquated piece of G.I. Joe equipment, the R.A.M. A bit faster, and possessing more armaments, the Silver Mirage is a primarily silver motorcycle, with a green mortar launcher (on the side car) and green missiles scattered across the thing.

The Silver Mirage has an effective material strength of 10, and possesses these vehicular capabilities:

AXJ-10 Ground Launch Missiles: these self-guided, 'fire and forget' miniature missiles are mounted on both sides of the Silver Mirage. Either the driver or passenger can fire them if need be, since you never know when you won't have someone in the sidecar... These rockets inflict intensity 10 each.

Doing like damage to everybody within striking (near missile) distance of where they hit.

Bullet-Resistant Molded Windshield: while the Silver Mirage offers its driver and passenger no overall protection, per se, it does have at least a small amount of defense against attack - if you're the driver. This windshield offers the driver +2 protection from frontal attacks only.

Lightning Speed: the Silver Mirage has the ability to drive at speeds upwards of 135 miles on the road, which is approximated by giving it this 'power' at intensity 5. Of course, when driving off-road, moving at such speeds would likely wreck the Mirage (and cause oneself considerable damage...).

Mortar Launcher: the primary armament on the Silver Mirage, this front-facing weapon is an actual self-loading mortar, having a ten round ammunition drum. These impressive rounds can be fired to inflict damage as would a +7 weapon per shot - though they can only hit what's right in front of the cycle.

Passengers: in addition to being able to carry its driver, the Silver Mirage is also capable of carrying one passenger comfortably, thanks to its stylized side car - which also holds the Mirage's mortar launcher. Of course, a second passenger could ride behind the driver in a pinch...

Quartz-Halogen Heated Lights: these are heavy duty, impressively warm bulbs that can be used to light up an area in front of the Silver Mirage with intensity 8 illumination. Furthermore, the heat they generate is enough to quickly burn off mud and other impediments to forward vision.

Silver Mirage (second issue)

When the G.I. Joe team was restored after years of Cobra build-up, they pulled lots of their old equipment out of mothballs, including a small fleet of Silver Mirage motorcycles. With the exception of minor color changes (the green bits were repainted black), this is the same vehicle.
