Much of the technology for the V.A.M.P. is taken from conventional 4-WD military vehicles but it has more than proven itself to be tough. It has since been one of the most oft-used vehicles in the G.I. Joe arsenal of vehicles.

Features

VAMP MK 1

The VAMP is powered by a 4.8 liter V-12 fuel injected twin turbo engine that enables it to reach speeds of 140mph and a range of 550 miles. The engine is powerful enough to tow to battle a larger weapons system such a HAL or a FLAK. Its primary offensive weaponry is a pair of 7.62mm machine guns mounted on its ventilator intakes right at the back. The guns can be operated with a computer by the driver's seat. The computer is smart enough to choose its targets via pre-programming thus allowing the driver to concentrate on maneuvering.

History

Comics continuity

Clutch drove a V.A.M.P. to battle Cobra forces on a Caribbean island top nuclear scientist Dr. Adele Burkhart was being held. It also towed the H.A.L. to provide additional firepower support. He had to leave it on the exploding island after rescuing Burkhart and flying away to safety.[1] While initially distressed, he was more than happy to be issued another one which he used to shoot down an enemy plane in the Middle East to rescue his teammates from Colonel Sharif's men.[2]
