Second wave.
In the months following Cobra Commanders disappearance, the G.I. Joe team was ordered to give up active searching and wait for the organization to reveal itself. What they could do was receive new funding and vehicles.
Duke and the Joes watched as the last transports left before leaving the describing to Steeler and Clutch. "If i may have your attention please; this, as most of us know, is the Mauler. Aside from the earlier flaw, it's turret rotation rate has increased, and it now has side armor for the tracks." Steeler said while tapping the side plate with a heel, then pointed to a white half-track.
"And this is the Snowcat, a medium to long range arctic support vehicle. Armed with the latest thermal imagery cameras, a quad missile launcher, and two additional rockets dubbed "snowpedoes". It will show Cobra that not even the antarctic is safe." He tells them before leading them to the third machine.
"Over here is the Bridgelayer, it's purpose is obvious, and is only lightly armed with two medium cannons, but, it will be one of the most vital parts of our arsenal."
Steeler then joined the crowd as Clutch took over. "This is the Silver Mirage. Unlike the R.A.M., it has an optional sidecar which can be armed with a ten round mortar, or a chaingun*, as well as auto guided AXL-10 micro-missiles. It can also carry three people. And remember this; if you ever get a little jolt, that's just it's way of saying good luck."
When that was over, the female Joes were looking the new machines over. "Isn't this a beaut?" Cover-Girl asks while taking a seat on one of the Mirages.
"Says here it has a 6.5 gallon fuel tank, which feeds a 1200CC liquid cooled engine." Lady-Jaye says, looking at a printout tied to the handle bars.
"Oh yeah, what else does this baby have?" Cover-Girl asked next as she glided a hand across the gauges.
"Um, urethane body panels, carbon fiber reinforced tubular frame, molded plastic composite wheels, and trailing mono-arm rear suspension." Lady-Jaye replied, and watched as the driver gasped. "Something wrong...why is your face like that?" She asked.
"Sorry, just hearing things like that just-just get me revved up way too much." Cover-Girl replied as she wiped her mouth.
"Does that mean what i think it does?" She asks Scarlett, who nodded.
"Fraid so, should have been there when we first got the M.O.B.A.T.'s, she found out sometimes if you take a hammer to the barrel at the 2 foot mark an-" Scarlett explained.
"Did not need to know that." Lady-Jaye told her.
"How about this one Wolvy i had; where every time it started, the vibra-"
"Eww!"
