Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

This article is about the vehicle. For the character, see Vamp.
VAMPs are vehicles from the G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The VAMP is a ground vehicle in G.I. Joe's extensive arsenal. It's a jeep-like Multi-Purpose Attack Vehicle outfitted with a double-barrelled machine gun in the back, and is usually found in the hands of Clutch. Despite appearances, the name doesn't appear to be an acronym for anything.
