Customizer's Comments: I was messing with a spare Big Ben head when I noticed that with a mustache he could look like Bazooka, the hard part was cutting off the hat and down the head so he could wear a helmet. I figured that as a propelled weapons specialist a padded jacket and some form of knee protection were both musts. Then to differentiate him from Backblast, Zap and my other rocket troopers I put him in charge of the missile systems for my vehicles. Even they've got to have someone to operate them, right?

Codename: Bazooka
Filename: Katzenbogen, David L.
Primary Military Specialty: Armor-Defeating weapons systems
Secondary Military Specialty: Armored Vehicle Operator
Birthplace: Hibbing, Minnisota
Rank: E-5

Bio: Bazooka was driving a tank in the "Third Horde" (Third Armored Division) when he realized that an illiterate farmer with a two hundred dollar disposable rocket launcher could knock out a million dollar tank with less than two weeks training. He immediately put in for a transfer, preferring to be on the surviving side of any tank explosions.

After the Joe team was reinstated, Bazooka combined his two specialties into a new classification he calls "Boom and Zoom" or offically "Vehicle Mounted Propelled Weapons." Part of the basis behind "Boom and Zoom" is the fact that while it's a bigger target, a G.I. Joe Brawler with a six-round rocket system mounted on the roof can shoot and move faster than a foot soldier lugging sixty pounds of rocket launcher.

"Bazooka enjoys two things; blowing stuff up and fishing. Which usually winds up with us getting a call from a game warden about him using grenades to fish with while on leave..."
