The Conquest X-30 is a vehicle used by G.I. Joe from the Generation 1 continuity family.

A nimble multi-role fighter, the Conquest X-30 was introduced to the Joe team ranks in 1986 as a supplement for and would-be replacement of the XP-14F Skystriker. Instead, the two wound up working alongside one another at least through the rest of the decade. The primary pilot is Slip-Stream, although other Joes, such as Ace, have been known to pilot them on occasion.

Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity

After Power Station Alpha was hijacked, Slip-Stream led a flight of Conquest X-30 units as part of an effort to intercept the unit. The Cobra Rattlers they engaged along the way were cannon fodder against them. Power Struggle Together with planes from both Cobra and the Autobot faction, Slip-Stream and his Conquest X-30 later attacked the Decepticon base in Florida. ...All Fall Down!

Notes

  • As with the Mauler MBT, there is at least some degree of disagreement among G. I. Joe fans as to whether or not the Conquest X-30 is an original design or derived from an existing unit. For those who regard it as a derivative, the F/A-18 Hornet is regarded as the most likely unit.
