Hit & Run was first released carded as part of the seventh series (1988). He was also sold in 1989 and was discontinued domestically in 1990. Hit & Run was also available in 1988 with a working parachute in special packaging as a Target exclusive. Orphaned at the age of three by a drunken driver, Hit & Run grew up in a county institution from which he escaped with alarming regularity, climbing down sheer walls and running for miles across the plains in the middle of the night. When asked what he was running away from, he replied, "I'm not running away from anything. I'm practicing." He went from the custody of the county, directly into the Army... "Infantrymen don't march. They run. They run to get to the battle, the run during the battle, and they run to get away from the battle. The Army doesn't call it running. They call the first one 'advancing', the second 'maneuvering', and the last, 'disengaging'. Hit & Run calls it all running, and he's real good at it." #gijoe #gijoetoys #hitnrun #gijoehitandrun #80s #80stoys #90s #90stoys #target #targetexclusive #like4like #instagood #internet #hashtag #hasbro #backyard #backyardbattles #gijoenation #socalcobras #clubmexjoes #gijoecollection #gijoecollector #toycrewbuddies #toyphotography #toyphotography #army

Being the leader of an entire unit of android troopers comes quite naturally to OVER KILL since more than fifty percent of his body has been replaced by mechanical parts. He is also equipped with integral body armor, a self-contained breathing unit and a wireless modem implanted in his brain. His vision has been enhanced with image intensifiers and infrared scanners. A targeting computer is hard wired between his right eye and his trigger finger. Having command a small army of mindless robots has affected his mind, making him overly sentimental and protective of his "troops". OVER KILL sees them as individuals and gives them secret names, picking out some for special attention. This is why he has a grudge against members of the GI JOE team who, in the course of a sabotage mission, poured sand into the supply of 30 weight motor oil for the B.A.T.s, effectively disabling more than half the unit. #gijoe #cobra #overkill #cobrabat #cobrabats #cobrainfernobat #cobrainfernobats #inferno #socalcobras #backyardbattles #gijoenation #gijoecommunity #toyphotography #exclusive #internet #6pack #nofilter #diy #nerdheadz #like4like #likeforlike
