| When the heat is on, the G.I. Joe team calls in Double Blast to add just the right amount of firepower to leave COBRA shell-shocked! This guy is so knowledgeable of handheld weapons that he can take apart, repair, and reassemble a jammed M-60 machine gun in less than 60 seconds—in the dark. Incredible? Yes, but that's why he's a G.I. Joe! A jack-of-all-trades, Double Blast can fix anything with whatever is in his reach. As a kid, he once repaired his mother's broken vacuum cleaner with a rubber band that someone shot at him in school that day. It never worked better and hasn't broken down since. In college, a professor's botched electrical experiment had everyone baffled, except Double Blast. He corrected the error with nothing more than a ballpoint pen and a thumbtack. That got him an A in the class—and a visit from a G.I. Joe recruiter. Leading his squad of gunners against advancing Cobra forces, Double Blast often relies on the element of surprise in his attack strategy. And Cobra never knows what hit them—only that Double Blast called the shots! | |

| When the heat is on, the G.I. JOE team calls in ROADBLOCK to man the machine gun against COBRA enemies! He's an expert with handheld weapons and can take apart, repair, and reassemble a jammed M-60 machine gun in less than 60 seconds—in the dark. He can fix anything. When he was a kid, he repaired his mother's broken vacuum cleaner with just a rubber band. In college, he fixed a professor's botched electrical experiment with a ballpoint pen and a thumbtack. Leading his squad of gunners against the advancing enemy, ROADBLOCK often relies on the element of surprise in his attack strategy. COBRA never knows what hit them—only that ROADBLOCK called the shots! "I'll pour on the firepower until the enemy retreats!" | |
