Recolored versions were released in Argentina as Redmack and in India as Hawk. Version 2: 1986 regular carded assortment Fig. #0091: G.I. Joe Commander MOS 1: Artillery [14A] MOS 2: Radar [formerly 0140] head: Hawk (86, 97), Breaker (97), Rock 'n Roll (97) arms: Hawk (86, 97) torso: Hawk (86, 97, 05) waist: Hawk (86, 97, 05) legs: Hawk (86, 97), Breaker (97) Accessories: light green helmet (new, with goggles); light green backpack (new, with canteen and several pouches); black pistol (Keel Haul's semi-automatic) Hawk was the original field commander of the Joe Team before he got his General's star and was booted upstairs to honcho the entire G.I. Joe Operation. He's a West Point graduate and has a list of special education credits as long as his arm, but he still managed to get the main body of his experience out there where it counts - on the battle field. "Hawk's the type of commander who goes out and gets shot at like everyone else. Troops respect that. They know he won't ask them to do anything he isn't willing to do himself. And that's why they are willing to do anything Hawk tells them." Variations: Hawk's helmet has black goggles in the 1986 catalog and commercials but was produced with green goggles. Mail-order Hawks came with a gold '91 Cobra Commander' submachine gun instead of the pistol, and no helmet or backpack. Toy Notes: Item #6468. Featured in the Devilfish commercial. Re-releases: Also available by mail in 1992 through the Terror on the Tundra offer. A slightly different version was released in India. Some parts were used to create the India-exclusive figure Super Cop. Version 3: 1991 Wave 1 regular carded assortment Fig. #0282: G.I. Joe Commander (code name: General Hawk) head: Gen. Hawk (91, 93/II) arms: Gen. Hawk (91, 93/II), Roadblock (93/II, 94) torso: Gen. Hawk (91, 93/II), Roadblock (93/II, 94) waist: Gen. Hawk (91, 93/II), Roadblock (93/II, 94) legs: Gen. Hawk (91, 93/II), Roadblock (93/II, 94) Accessories: gold flight helmet (new, dome-shaped) with detachable clear visor; grey backpack (new, jet with missile tabs on folding wings); grey machine gun (new, double-barreled); four gold missiles (new) As a rule, General Officers direct battle from the safety of the rear echelons, but the commander of a tighly coordinated, rapid deployment force like the G.I. Joe Team has to be right on top of the action at all times, ready to make split-second decisions on tactical developments as they happen. The combination of jet pack and communications helmet allows HAWK to survey the progress of battle as well as keep in constant radio contact with all elements of his command! "Some Generals like to come out and give a nice rousing speech before a fight, full of 'go-get-'em' and 'yay team,' and that's the last you see of them until the dust settles and they're back up from the rear again, handing out medals and trying to look as battle-weary as they can in starched fatigues. When Hawk takes you into a hairy situation, he's usually in FRONT of you yelling, 'Follow me!'" Toy Notes: Item #6583. Version 4: 1992 Battle Commanders premium carded assortment Fig. #0313: G.I. Joe Commander (code name: General Hawk) head: Gen. Hawk (92, 00, 02), Zartan (04/IV) arms: Gen.

Stalker (04/II, 05/I, 06), Zartan (04/III, 04/IV), Zap (04), Rock 'n Roll (05), Breaker (05) Accessories: gold talking backpack (new, attached with screws); gold battlefield pistol (new, .45-cal.); gold rifle (new, with large scope); black figure stand One thing the G.I. Joes know for certain, when they hear HAWK give the command to "MOVE OUT!" he'll be giving it from in front of them and not from the rear! As commanding officer of the G.I. Joe Team with the rank of a 2-star General, Hawk could command his unit from an armored bunker or a high-flying aircraft, but that's not his style. He's a West Point graduate who's smart enough to know that 10 minutes with his soldiers on a real battlefield is worth more than a year in the classroom, and such an act will do more for their morale than a regiment of donut dollies ever could - well, almost. Hawk enjoys directing the combat action from the G.I. Joe Patriot or from G.I. Joe's Fort America! Toy Notes: Released before Christmas 1991 in some areas but first listed in the 1992 insert catalog. Yojoe.com lists the figure as a 1991 release. Item #6751. To remove the backpack, unscrew the pack's outer screws. The screws attaching the pack to the figure are inside, along with the batteries.

Hawk (93/I) Accessories: gold space helmet (93/II Duke's) with clear visor; pink machine gun (91 Flint's) In space warfare, there's no such thing as a designated battle perimeter - the whole universe is on the front-line field of fire! Even when replenishing your oxygen supply or recharging a laser pistol, you MUST stay on alert, and no one does that better than GENERAL HAWK. He watches his own back as well as those of his men. "He's just one of those guys you tend to feel safe with," says Rock 'n Roll. "Even those dumb ol' Cobra B.A.A.T.'s aren't lame enough to try a sneak attack with Hawk around!" Hawk has seen plenty of interstellar combat, and was even present during the brutal battle to liberate the moon from Cobra. According to Hawk, "That lunar nightmare was one of [the] toughest fights ever, if I'd only had the Armor Bot then, I could have vaporized B.A.A.T.s by the hundreds!" Motto: "If you can't stand the heat, stay away from the sun!" Variations: Some copies came with a rifle that was black rather than pink. Toy Notes: Item #6186.

Hawk's) with clear gold visor; black Sonic backpack (92 Maj. Bludd's); bright green machine gun (91 Gen. Hawk's); black figure stand As a rule, General Officers direct battle from the safety of the rear echelons, but the commander of a tighly coordinated, rapid deployment force like the G.I. Joe Team has to be right on top of the action at all times, ready to make split-second decisions on tactical developments as they happen. The combination of jet pack and communications helmet allows HAWK to survey the progress of battle as well as keep in constant radio contact with all elements of his command! "Some Generals like to come out and give a nice rousing speech before a fight, full of 'go-get-'em' and 'yay team,' and that's the last you see of them until the dust settles and they're back up from the rear again, handing out medals and trying to look as battle-weary as they can in starched fatigues. When Hawk takes you into a hairy situation, he's usually in FRONT of you yelling, 'Follow me!'" Toy Notes: Available from Hasbro Direct in 1993-94 through the Menace in the Wilderness offer.

Version 7: 1997 boxed A-10 Thunderbolt vehicle Fig. #0512: G.I. Joe Commander General Hawk MOS 1: Strategic Command Operations [USSTRATCOM] MOS 2: Artillery [14A] head: Gen. Hawk (86, 97) arms: Hawk (86, 97) torso: Hawk (86, 97, 05) waist: Hawk (86, 97, 05) legs: Hawk (86, 97), Breaker (97) Accessories: green helmet (small standard, with visor holes); black backpack (86 Hawk's); black figure stand In his childhood, Hawk always looked to the sky. He was fascinated by the man-made objects streaking over his head with such speed and power. He joined the military and graduated from Officers Candidate School at West Point. Served on cadre with the North Atlantic Command and USA ENG COM EVR missile and Radar training station. He held the position of Missile Commander until he received his General's star and was offered command over G.I. Joe operations. His list of credits are as long as his arm, most of his experience comes from where it counts - on the battlefield. General HAWK is the type of commander who goes out and gets shot at like everyone else. Troops respect that. They know he won't ask them to do anything he isn't willing to do himself. When the government closed down the G.I. Joe program, he was forced to work behind a desk. Using this as a forum, all his efforts went to prove terrorist organizations, such as COBRA, were still a threat and required a special unit to combat them. It didn't take long for the results to be shown, as enemy forces were once again on the rise. The call to arms and return of the G.I. Joe Team was all General Hawk needed. You can find him standing on top of the MAULER Battle Tank as it rolls into battle. FILE EXCERPT from the JOINT-CHIEFS-OF-STAFF: "General Hawk is keenly intelligent and perceptive, quite capable of selfless acts in support of his team. An excellent leader!" Motto: "May the wings of freedom, never lose a feather." Toy Notes: Boxed with the Toys 'R Us exclusive A-10 Thunderbolt, which also included Ace (97). Item #28019.

Hawk (92, 00, 02), Zartan (04/IV) arms: Gen. Hawk (92, 00, 02, 05), Big Ben (03), Zartan (04/III, 04/IV) torso: Gen. Hawk (92) - screw holes removed: Gen. Hawk (00, 02), Big Ben (03), Zartan (04/III, 04/IV) waist: Gen. Hawk (92, 00, 02), Big Ben (03), Zartan (04/III, 04/IV) legs: Gen. Hawk (92, 00, 02, 04/I, 05), Big Ben (03), Sgt. Stalker (04/II, 05/I, 06), Zartan (04/III, 04/IV), Zap (04), Rock 'n Roll (05), Breaker (05) Accessories: silver battlefield pistol (92 Hawk's .45-cal.); silver assault rifle (86 Dial-Tone's HK 53); silver rifle (92 Hawk's); black figure stand He's the same superb, spirited leader with a different name and a new mission. A recent unprecedented collapse in G.I. Joe's top secret, personnel data system forced the issuance of new code names to several top G.I. Joe brass. Hawk was one of them. Known for his distinguished and exemplary military service and leadership qualities, Gen. Tomahawk now commands a highly trained, undercover special ops unit whose mission is to penetrate COBRA's sophisticated defense network and sabotage their efforts to control the world wide web. Clicking and dragging may be new battlefield strategies, but Gen. Tomahawk is up for the challenge. Anything to make that serpent's evil existence as miserable as possible. Gen. Tomahawk's career spans over three decades. Guts and glory are synonymous with his name, no matter what he's called. His unique brand of leadership mixes battlefield instincts with a dash of cunning that keeps COBRA dazed and defeated, even beyond the peripheral bounds of cyberspace. Toy Notes: Carded in a two-pack with Dial Tone (00). Item #57730. A recolored version was released in India. Copyright issues are believed responsible for the name changes from this point forward, since competing The Corps! figures by Lanard have a figure named "Hawk." Version 9: 2002 Joe vs. Cobra Wave 1.5 two-pack assortment Fig. #0620: G.I. Joe Commander General Tomahawk MOS 1: Ranger [prob. 18A] MOS 2: Military Intelligence [35B] head: Gen.

He believes that a general should be among his men, showing them how to fight and how to win. Under his command, soldiers learn to be courageous defenders of peace. A West Point graduate and two-star general, he has seen plenty of action in conflicts around the world. The United States Army relies on men like GENERAL TOMAHAWK to carry on the proud, tough tradition of America's fighting forces. He has been after the elusive HEADMAN for some time. He wants to stop the smuggler and thief from his corrupt undertakings, which have threatened the peace of many nations.

He's gifted with superior coordination to handle flight control and aerial combat at the same time. These special skills come in handy when he works with STARDUSTER on their combined recon missions. If the enemy spots them, he'll need to follow his counterpart's crazy stunt maneuvers to escape. . . or else he's a sitting duck waiting for target practice.

The street racer in him really becomes apparent when COBRA forces are closing in on all sides. That's when DOUBLE CLUTCH slams down the loud pedal, and suddenly the enemy is eating dust ten miles back, wondering what happened.

His interest in seeing what vehicles the military had available to "play with" led him to an impressive Army career, as well as being hand-picked for assignment to the G.I. JOE team. With his promotion to Sergeant, he became the chief vehicle technician for the entire G.I. JOE motor pool. While famous for driving and tricking out VAMPs (Multi-Purpose Attack Vehicles), he is adept with all jeeps, quads, APCs, and any other four-wheeled vehicles he can get his hands on. He even retools captured COBRA vehicles just to see how they tick, and how he can improve them. CLUTCH has a great deal of specialist training under his belt, including Advanced Infantry Training, Covert Ops School, Ranger School, and even Executive Bodyguard School. However, the only things he really cares about are fast cars and women, which he still refers to as 'chicks.' Some time ago his teammates convinced SPARKS to hack the official database and change his codename, but he only took it as a compliment, knowing how difficult it is to master that gear-changing technique. His knowledge of cold weather driving will come in handy during LT. STEELER's current training mission, and he expects to complete his qualifications in record time, so that it doesn't interfere with his racing schedule.
