Rock 'n Roll is one of the original G.I. Joe team members, and still the one to call on when a high volume of suppressive firepower is the order of business. A former band member back in Malibu, Rock 'n Roll still has an affinity for loud noises, particularly British heavy metal. To show his appreciation, he carries at least two British Army issue weapons with him at all times. Years of hanging ten in the surf and pumping iron have also given him the speed of a jackrabbit and the strength of a raging bull.
"When ROCK 'N ROLL asks you if you want to hear some heavy metal, you better ask him to specify. You may end up listening to the sound of a 80mm shell impacting with a dummy tank in a makeshift battlefield. Because to Rock 'N Roll, any loud noise is simply music to his ears."
Assigned Armaments: Amphibious, Experimental Short Range 51mm Mortar Launcher, and 7.63mm M60 GPMg.
Weapons Qualification: Sharpshooter
*Rock 'n Roll's security number has been specifically modified to prevent breaches in G.I. Joe Security."

Versions of Rock 'n Roll
