The F.A.N.G. is an early example of Cobra air power. Far from having the power and armor of a true gunship, the F.A.N.G. makes up for those deficiencies with speed and stealth. Its size makes it hard to be spotted and it more than easily is able to sneak in to a neighborhood undetected.

[edit] Animated continuity - Sunbow

The small size and quick take off capabilities of the FANGs enabled Cobra to ambush the Joes in New England. Still, they proved wholly insufficient when the Joes have better flying and combat skills.[1] When the Joes invaded the Cobra Temple, Destro piloted a FANG to evade capture.[2]

[edit] Toys

[edit] Toy editions

The Fang was issued as a toy in 1983. The toy was basic, with no "action features". The toy had a nose mounted machine gun that featured a fairly unique ball mount, 4 rockets, and a bomb, both of which were removable. The figure sat in the open cockpit.

Fang was later offered as a mail in order. It has recently been re-issued.

Like many early GIJoe toys from this series, the red and white colors on the decals were prone to scratch off.
