| CHAMELEON SWAMP SKIER. A
small, one-man water craft sometimes used by Zartan in the swamps
around his hideout in the Florida Everglades. The Chameleon sped along
the surface of the water on four skis. (GI

| CHRISTINA. A Swedish trawler (fishing boat) based in Karlskrona. The ship was loaned to the G.I. Joe team by the Swedish government so that the Joes could stage a fake undercover rescue mission to recover a downed American submarine in the Baltic Sea. In reality, the mission was a diversion that allowed the Joes to help pick up Captain Bulgakov, a defector from the Soviet navy. (SM 1) |
 C.L.A.W. A
one-man rocket-powered hang glider used by Cobra. The CLAW could also
be
used as a unmanned drone. The small vehicle carried two Venom missiles
and a single Flashfire bomb. The name stands for "Covert Light
Aerial Weapon".
The Joes first encountered the CLAW when Storm Shadow kidnapped
Scarlett
while working for Cobra. Storm Shadow later used a CLAW to rescue Cobra
Commander from G.I. Joe custody and then let the Commander use it to
escape. Cobra agent Tomax used a CLAW to escape from the Joe team at
Cobra's illegal oil drilling operation in the Antarctic. (GI

 CONDOR. A
high altitude fighter/bomber used by Cobra. The Condor Z-25's forward
fuselage could separate from the rear of the plane, splitting it into
two separate
aircraft. Its armaments included two electron-pulsating, no thrust
air-to-surface missiles, two low-drop terrain-hugging "Smacker"
missiles, seven SK-44m wide-concussion , incendiary bombs and dual
laser support cannons armed with 3700 laser rounds. Cobra's Aero-Vipers
piloted these jets. The Joes first
encountered
a Condor flying high over the tiny nation of Punta del Mucosa. (GI

 CONQUEST
X-30. A fighter jet used by the G.I. Joe team, the Conquest
includes state-of-the-art computer control systems. It was one of the
most
advanced fighters of its time. It's capable of reaching speeds up to
Mach
2.42 and is typically armed with two 20mm Vulcan cannons and 4
laser-guided
cluster bombs. The Joe team's designated pilot of the Conquest was
Slip-Stream.
The fighter first saw action over the war-torn nation of Sierra Gordo
and flew in a number of operations.
After the Army discontinued widespread use of the fighter jet, surplus
vehicles appeared in Europe, where Cobra turned a number of them into
Python
Patrol vehicles. A small number of Python Conquests were being used by
Cobra as recently as 2001. (GI 54, 73, 88; YB 3; SM 5, 12, 16, 27; GIv2 4) |
 CROSSFIRE. A
light, fast ground vehicle used by G.I. Joe, the Crossfire could be
remotely-controlled.
Its armaments included top-mounted "Pumper" twin 20mm cannons,
"Spinner" side- mounted auto-load 9mm cannons and two "Live Wire"
SAM-19 missiles. Duke used two remotely-operated Crossfires to distract
a force of
Cobras
invading the Pit in Utah. Hasbro's
real Crossfire toy was actually a remote- controlled car. (GI
131) |
| CUBE-CAM. A
tiny device
equipped with a
360-degree camera feed. The cube-cam allowed the reinstated Joe team to see into
potentially
dangerous areas before actually entering them. New cube-cams are being
fitted with mechanical legs that will allow them to be remote
controlled. (GIv2
