Crossings: Tough old rags
Frozen for decades, the commander of the Screaming Eagles lits up the sky to compensate for lack of warmth.
Mowing down enemies with his P-40´s incredible gatling cannon, the Sarge turns his Warhawk to the rendevouz point...
His unit´s members D-Day and Dynamite were waiting for 10 long minutes.
Cobra was sighted via satellite and the nearest Joe unit was Savage´s: The Screaming Eagles.
Many times proven wrong, the Brass still doubts of this unit´s purpose and tactics.
Every bit of Joe blood, Sgt. Savage has guts and gut for calling card, and most of his opponents could testify to that.
A nose for trouble, the years spent "sleeping" kept him sharp.
A great shot, even with a "future" weapon.
Some things should never change. And some never do, whatever the decade you live in.
And Cobra´s about to feel just that...

Crossings: A tiger in trouble
Deep into an uncharted island´s forest, a shadow examines a curious contraption...
What sounded like a combat helicopter engine sound captured the attention of one of many menaces any given place can present.
Thermal imaging equipment shows a definite helicopter silhouette. Similar to the one they were searching for the past 2 days since mission briefing.
Switching to image intensification, the markings are now clear. It´s a G.I.Joe helicopter.
The first part of this sniper/scout team was accomplished. Cobra was looking for Tiger Force for over 48hrs since they were informed of Joe mission on that island.
A tracking mission was about to begin. Vapor 7 is one of the 4 units on this mission. First one to radio in, they must now prepare for what´s next...
Always aware, Tiger Force is not just a fancy-looking unit. A special team has high standarts, even for joes, and when silence is too much, it usually means something´s up.
Recondo capture´s his long-time friend´s signal and immediately checks positions.
On high ground, advanced recon specialist Sneak Peek overseas the operations.
Unfortunately for the Joe team, he can´t be looking everywhere, and what was once there, is no more. And they´re right on schedule...

Crossings: A new fish
After the extremely delicate and detailed operations for Moray captures during the late 80s, the Joes managed to equip their special "Tiger" and "Night" forces with fully operational units.
Without the enhanced capabilities of Cobra pilots, the vessel showed limitations at the hands of G.I.Joe´s best trained pilots. It was clear the Joes would lose any face-off with any Cobra Moray.
With several and deep structural changes, the hydrofoil changed into a high-speed infiltration attack prototype.
Keeping the hull and the silhouete of a Moray to deceive enemy positions, it was given all sorts of armor, weapons and electronics material.
The result, a fine piece of equipment in the struggle against Cobra´s one pretension: Rulling the free world.

Crossings: Airspeeder
M.A.R.S. industries prepare to unveil their new project.
Being prepared for years, it will revolutionize the world yet again...
The Contrail Z-38. An atmospheric vehicle.
State of the art technology allows this craft to hover over soil and water. Using heated repulsorlift drive units, it can operate under the most extreme of conditions.
Its high powered afterburners punch it to speeds of approximately 1000 miles/h making it the most powerful repulsurlift unit driven machine known to man.
Another problem for the Joe team.

Crossings: Radio Silence
Cobra Island: Maiden flight of Cobra´s new reconnaissance aircraft codenamed Night Boa.
Objective: Manoeuvrability test above Armstrong´s line.
Systems check before a wild ride.
The airplane shows potential and a sonic boom is heard somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico.
The mission will now go below 60.000 feet...
Wild Weasel´s song.

Crossings: Polar Rescue
A Cobra Stinger unit radios for help, a vehicle was left behind in need of recovery. Mustn´t fall into the hands of the Joes.
Quickly dispatched, a Snow Serpent unit arrives on the scene. Timing was crucial, and their vehicle, although of mammoth size, has powerful engines, and rescue operation begins.
Using the crane, the Stinger finally gets on top of the Cobra Ice Mammoth.
A snowstorm approaches, therefore stealth can replace speed. The snakes prepare to move.
Under escort, the large vehicle starts the powerful engines and in 20 minutes, the Stinger is secured.

Crossings - Where the fun really begins!
A new category will open. And for many, probably the most waited for. Named "crossings" it will feature Chap Mei (and many brands) vehicles and sets at the hands of some of the most charismatic toy lines out there. Crossing the brands and closing up on the themes they share, the idea is to give YOU some ideas. Enjoy the future.
In order not to spoil the accomplished scenes (in pictures), it was decided to leave the mark out of the action´s center. If you decide to use any of these upcoming pictures, be kind to drop a line in reference to where you found it.
