The gold backpack was permanently attached to the back of the figure and could not be removed (except with a screwdriver, see BODY CONSTRUCTION below).

Variations
No variations of General Hawk (v2) are known to exist.
Body Construction
General Hawk's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.
The entire mold was re-used to create General Tomahawk (2000) and General Tomahawk (v2) (2002).
Note that the backpack is not easily removable. To remove the backpack, the backpack needs to be opened by unscrewing the four visible screws. Once the backpack is opened, inside are four long screws that attach the backpack to the figure.
