DESCRIPTION:

     Destro's Iron Grenadiers can direct their attack and get a "bird's eye view" of the battlefield in the advanced A.G.P. (Anti-Gravity Pod).  Flying in low altitude attack formation, two squadrons of A.G.P.s will launch their air-to-surface missiles at a G.I. Joe armored columns.

     Reports indicate that in 1990 in the swamps on Cobra Island, an A.G.P. was found, along with a G.I. Joe Triple "T", in a pool of oozing, green slime with its weapon systems mysteriously still intact.  In an operation nicknamed "Attack of the Swamp Creature", Jinx leading a deployment of Swampmashers was sent to investigate why the Dreadnok Zanzibar in his Air Skiff was searching the swamp for signs of life.
