The Tomahawk is a vehicle used by G.I. Joe from the G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
There, behind the speech bubbles...

A somewhat unusual hybridization of a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Chinook (helicopter)|{{#if:CH-47 Chinook|CH-47 Chinook|Chinook (helicopter)}}]] and a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Pave Low|{{#if:Sikorsky MH-53 "Jolly Green Giant"|Sikorsky MH-53 "Jolly Green Giant"|Pave Low}}]], the Tomahawk serves as the Joe team's primary lift helicopter. Lift-Ticket is the primary pilot, but other Joes have been depicted in the cockpit over the years.

While meant to be a lift aircraft, the Tomahawk is surprisingly well-armed. According to the blueprints, it boasts a six-barreled 20mm gun in a chin turret mount, twin .50 machine guns mounted on the sides, six bombs, and two guided missiles... thus potentially making it better at air-to-air combat than your average Rattler.

G.I. Joe and the Transformers

[edit]

When Power Station Alpha was hijacked, Lift-Ticket and a Tomahawk were among those units dispatched to intercept it. In what was likely the most embarrassing incident in the opposing pilot's career, the Tomahawk succeeded in shooting down at least one Rattler. Power Struggle A Tomahawk later participated in the attack on the Decepticon headquarters in Florida alongside several Cobra and Autobot aircraft. During the battle with the airborne Decepticons, it made use of its nose-mounted guns as well as Joes firing guns from its storage area. ...All Fall Down!
