JUMP JET PACK. The G.I. Joe team's Jet Mobile Propulsion Unit was a jet pack used on some of the team's earliest missions. The JUMP came equipped with a laser blaster that was built into the handheld control unit. The jet pack was worn on the pilot's back, held enough fuel for two hours, and could attain a maximum speed of 150 miles per hour. The unit was mostly used for reconnaissance but could also be used for a quick surprise strike on enemy targets. The JUMP was usually flown by qualified expert Grand Slam, but was also a favorite of Stalker's. Stalker used the JUMP to scout out Cobra forces on the beach of the Caribbean island where Dr. Adele Burkhart was held, and also to get an aerial view of a Cobra bunker while the Joes were teamed up with the October Guard.
