Skystorm

Any similarities to the Switchblade are purely coincidental.

The Skystorm is an "X-Wing Chopper" and troop transport used by G.I. Joe with the ability to convert from a jet mode for speedy transportation to a helicopter-like VTOL mode for maneuverability and landing.

Fiction

Windmill piloted a Skystorm as he transported the new, public facing G.I. Joe team from their base on Governor's Island to Warrenton, Ohio. After arriving, Windmill activated the Skystorm's VTOL mode before suddenly being shot down by a Cobra Maggot. Homefront, Part 1

Notes

• The original Skystorm toy was a somewhat odd looking jet that had perpetually had helicopter blades on top of it rather than a jet that could deploy helicopter blades. It was also a single seat vehicle rather than a troop transport.
