Mobile Command Center

Mobile Command Center

The Mobile Command Center, or MCC for short, is a fictional vehicle from , a series of military-themed toys from Hasbro. It is part of the 1987 edition of the toyline. It is the mobile land base of the G.I. Joe Team.

Toy

The MCC’s appearance is that resembling a small building with near-featureless exterior and tank treads at the bottom. The MCC features electronic and communications countermeasure equipment at the top and armed with HE-27 Shockwave missiles which are guided by a missile control radar. The front of the vehicle is armed with computer-operated twin .50 calibre cannons while the back is protected by a Barrage missile cannon. The diesel engine can run at 2000kw and with 2700hp. Despite its immense size, the MCC is quite mobile and maneuverable, given the right terrain. The huge body can open up and set itself as a stationary open-air command post, complete with a control center, a prisoner holding cell and a service station for small assault vehicles.

The huge size, though, presents a problem in how it could be deployed outside of the United States. Its size and few defensive capabilities suggest just what its name indicates, as a mobile command post and not more than that. MCC is operated by the G.I. Joe member, "Steam Roller".

Marvel Comics

Outside of the toyline, its first appearance was in issue #100 (hinted at in #99) of the comics published by Marvel Comics. It was used to disrupt Cobra forces that had arrived at the Joe's desert HQ. It had been buried in the sand and Joe forces drive Cobra towards it. The sand is shaken off and the Command center opens fire. Its weaponry damages a Cobra aircraft, which is then flown into the Command Center itself. A rear tread is destroyed with only minor cosmetic damage to the rest of the vehicle. "Steam Roller" professes admiration for the pilot's courage. He then heads into the desert to capture the pilot, who is clearly seen descending by parachute.

Cartoons

In animated form, it was featured in the direct-to-video movie, , where it is scaled-down, about the size of a large truck instead, allowing it to go into a suburban neighborhood.
