the Retaliator The Retaliator is a highly advanced - and somewhat customized - G.I. Joe helicopter that was in part designed by one of their own - Updraft. He essentially molded the thing to conform to his own unique flying style, creating a design that has served the team well whether he's flying it or someone else is. The Retaliator has these vehicular statistics: 60 mm Machine Gun (a): Mounted under the cockpit of the Retaliator, this single - yet very powerful - machine gun is capable of inflicting serious damage to vehicles or personnel when necessary. This weapon can be fired to inflict the pilot's Agility +6 damage with every deadly, fully automatic volley of lead. Armored Construction (s): the Retaliator is made of sturdy, lightweight materials, giving it an effective material strength of 10. This translates into the pilot's Strength +2 for the purpose of protection from attacks - protection which includes the canopy, which is a reinforced, protective canopy with a UV filter (prevents glare and such). Bomb Bay (i): in addition to its machine gun and missile launchers, the Retaliator has a bomb bay that can be equipped with up to three, well, bombs. These bombs will inflict intensity 12 fragmentary (physical) damage to everything within striking (near missile) range of where they hit - which is good, as they lack pinpoint accuracy. Capture Claw (s): this frightening device can be used to display the Retaliator pilot's true flight skills. Consisting of the entire tail section of the Retaliator, this implement can fold down into a bottom-mounted claw that can be used to grapple single targets, such as Cobra troops - with a Strength of 12 (Wrestling attack). Flight (s): the basic function of the Retaliator, the vehicle can use this power to fly, at anywhere from intensity 0 speed (hovering in place) to intensity 7 speed in a forward direction; this assumes the Retaliator has no serious cargo load. If it does, this speed is reduced by 2 - even the Retaliator's maneuverability has limits. Magna-Torque Quick Elevation Tow Hook (s): while its primary function is as a combat helicopter, the Retaliator can also haul a significant amount of cargo when necessary. Treat the Retaliator as having intensity 11 Strength for such purposes, though any load over one ton applies a -2 penalty to all maneuvers it makes. Missile Launchers (i): the Retaliator is equipped with two computer enhanced launch bays - one on each side of the cockpit. These launchers each have two missiles, and the Retaliator's pilot can fire one to inflict intensity 10 damage to a target, two to inflict intensity 11 damage, or all four to inflict intensity 12 damage. Radar (w): allowing both offensive and defensive functions, this unit lets the Retaliator's pilot to track objects within its air space with intensity 10 ability. Furthermore, it assists in acquiring 'target locks' on enemy aircraft that the pilot can use for a +1 to hit with missile attacks - not too shabby, that.
