ROCC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ROCC (short for Rolling Operations Command Center) is a fictional vehicle from G.I. Joe series of toys, cartoons and comics. It first appeared part of the 2005 G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series as an online exclusive from Hasbro. It is featured heavily in the G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 animated series. A smaller version for the 2.5" Sigma Six figures in being developed.
Unlike previous command center-type vehicles (the MCC and the General, being the other two), the ROCC is smaller but is far more mobile and maneuverable and, while not as heavily armed, packs more features. The ROCC resembles more of an extra-large freighter truck with trailer in tow, a battle truck if you could call it. According to the ROCC's profile, it features cutting edge holographic technology which can disguise the ROCC as a trailer truck or even a large camper allowing for surprise attacks.
The ROCC has a hidden launcher for eight missiles on the cab. The cab section can separate from the trailer for reconnaissance or assault purposes. The cab can fit six Joe figures in seated positions with a seventh standing on a platform near the missile launcher. The trailer features a radar antennea and a gunners station that can be moved to the front or back. The trailer opens to form a command center. The top lifts to reveal an elevator and mini-jet as well as an "escape tube". In the center is a command station with four chairs (only one can rotate) and computer consoles. The repair bay features two ramps and a movable claw.
The designated operator of the ROCC is G.I. Joe team member Long Range.
Featured heavily in G.I-Joe Sigma Six cartoon, the ROCC served as the Joe team's base during most of the show's first season. The size of the animated ROCC seemed to fluxuate throughout the season. It was able to drive down a one lane road and fit through openings fit for a truck. However, the animated ROCC was capable of houseing the entire Sigma Six team, gear and vehicles suck as Snake-Eye's Ninja Bike and the RHINO (Rapid Heli-Integrated Neutralizing Offense), which itself is a large vehicle.
