Tomahawk (G.I. Joe)
- 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.

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
