RAM


 * The R.A.M. is a G.I. Joe vehicle.

If ever there was a G.I. Joe land vehicle that could be appreciated for its inherent simplicity, it would have to be the R.A.M. From all appearances, it aspires to be no more than a motorcycle until you notice the Gatling gun mounted on its side. In the hands of a capable G.I. Joe driver, the RAM is a truly dangerous weapon.

Features
The R.A.M.'s motorcycle unit has a weight of 390 lbs. while the gun pod takes a whopping 870 lbs. full load. The 1000cc twin cam engine with turbo fuel injector enables it to reach speeds up to 95mph on full load and a range of 450 miles. Not to be outdone by the unknown, the driver is provided with a electronic radar unit built in to the front chassis. The 20mm Gatling gun is a Vulcan series provided with 1,200 rounds of ammunition.

A Real American Hero comics continuity - Marvel Comics
The R.A.M. was deployed as part of the original lineup of G.I. Joe vehicles in 1982. A R.A.M. was used by Rock 'n Roll to deal with the Cobra forces in a Caribbean island where a nuclear scientist was being held against her will. He had to leave it upon escaping the exploding island when Cobra lost. He was issued a replacement in a mission in the Middle East to retrieve an object they dubbed a "Hot Potato".
