The MMS as most probably know was based on the HAWK missile used by the Army and marine Corps I worked on the actual Hawk Surface to Air Missile systems in the 90's. It was a much more involved sytstem than just the launcher. MIM-23 Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was one of my first Joe toys when I was a kid. Always my favorite. This is what the real launcher looked like

nice i knew it was based on a real missile battery. never saw one though thanks for the pic. i love the fact that that many vehicles were based on real vehicles/weapons like the mauler, rattler, raven, skystryker among others

I was 9 when I got my first Joe's. MMS, Jump, FLAK, RAM, followed by the APC, whirlwind and Wolverine. Granparents rule.
It was kind of cool when I turned 19 and joined the Marines and was able to work on the real thing. GI JOE got me in to the whole military fascination as a child and it stuck all the way through high school. I took the ASVAb and the recruiter said take your pick. That is when i saw the MMS (HAWK) and spent the next 6 years knocking drones out of the sky and having an all around great time. YO JOE!
