The Warthog is a medium sized, armored infantry fighting vehicle. It is like the team's old A.P.C.s, in that it acts as a troop transport, but this mean green machine is about half the size, and has at least twice the offensive capability. The Warthog is equipped with the following vehicular capabilities:

C Ex 20

S Gd 10

B In 40

P Am 50

Amphibious Jet Propulsion System: the Warthog is built to function on land and water, making it truly an all-terrain vehicle. Thanks to a powerful water intake / output propulsion system, this heavy, bulky hunk of pig-iron can achieve Feeble (2) speeds (15 mph) on the water - instead of sinking, at least.

Armored Hull: the Warthog's advanced hull is built to last. It is comprised of a welded, specially hardened aluminum frame (accounting for its high Body score), with impact diffusive foam inserts placed around personnel areas (accounting for its high Protection score).

Diversion Smoke Grenade Launchers: on the front of the Warthog are twelve (six on both the left and right sides) launchers that can fire a volley of smoke grenades to provide visual cover for the vehicle or its troops (when boarding or disembarking). This is Remarkable (30) visual obfuscation.

MK-29 Power-Operated 20mm Cannon: the driver of the Warthog is assisted by a gunner to ward off smaller, infantry-style opposition to its movements. The gunner can fire this gun to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage in a small burst, or Remarkable (30) Shooting damage in a full-auto spread.

MGM-59 Lance Missiles: the Warthog's driver also has the assistance of a missile operator while on missions. This fellow can fire the Warthog's two surface to surface / surface to air, two stage, dual thrust liquid propellant missiles at a foe, missiles that have these vehicular statistics:

C In 40

S Mn 75

B Rm 30

Damage In 40 Edged Attack

Night Sight Infrared Driving Lights: the Warthog is equipped with two infra-red light emitting bulbs on the front, allowing it to drive (thanks to an infra-red camera on front) in night-time conditions as though it were producing Excellent (20) illumination, illumination that's invisible to the naked eye.

Tool Kits: the Warthog has plenty of accessories to help its many passengers out on a mission, hopefully to handle any normal contingency. It has digging tools in the event that the Warthog gets stuck, first aid kits in case its passengers are wounded, and handy fire extinguishing gear as well.

A short time after he rejoined the G.I. Joe team, Dusty refurbished one of the old Warthogs, and started using it to haul his fellows around in their fight against Cobra. This vehicle, repainted in a matte black color scheme, is otherwise identical to the old Warthog - if modernized with current electronics.
