- The Tomahawk is a vehicle used by G.I. Joe from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A somewhat unusual hybridization of a CH-47 Chinook and a Sikorsky MH-53 "Jolly Green Giant", 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.
