Skystriker (G.I. Joe)
- Skystrikers are aircraft from the Generation 1 continuity family.
As lethal as it is elegant, the Combat Jet XP-14F Skystriker - a modified version of the famous F-14 Tomcat - was the Joe team's first air combat vehicle and served alongside a host of would-be successors such as the Conquest X-30. The primary operator is Ace, although other Joes have been known to fly it on occasion.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel US
After Power Station Alpha was hijacked, several Skystrikers—including one piloted by Ace—were among the units tasked with intercepting it. In typical form, they had the Cobra Rattlers dropping like Waspinator... err, flies. Power Struggle A number of Skystrikers were also used for the assault on the Decepticon base in Florida, where they teamed up with both Rattlers and Aerialbots to fight off Decepticon planes. ...All Fall Down!
Marvel UK
When neither Action Force's artillery nor the Autobots could stop Megatron, Flint ordered in the Skystrikers: by bombing the gas refinery Megatron was in, he hoped they'd take out the robot before he entered London. And they did! Ancient Relics!
Notes
- The XP-14F Skystriker should not be confused with the Tiger Force pilot of the same name.
