Hasbro bought Milton Bradley in 1984, ending 124 years of family ownership. In 1985 Hasbro and Milton Bradley created the Commando Attack Board Game. In 1986 they created this trading card set featuring painted package art from G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero figures, vehicles, playsets and accessories and stills from the G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon.

There are 192 cards and 12 stickers total. Eight cards and one sticker were included in each pack. Evidence has been shown that each pack had the exact same assortment, so if you bought two packs with the same card visible through the blister, you can expect the same card and sticker assortment in those two packs. ​Although these cards are marked as Series One, Series Two was never released in the US. 

These trading cards are extremely popular on the secondary market, largely due to the unadorned packaging artwork painted by Hector Garrido for Coleman, LiPuma, Segal & Morrill, which handled Hasbro's G.I.Joe packaging design and illustration from 1969-1989. 

The G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon was co-produced by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions. Sunbow's staff wrote scripts based on character and vehicle designs provided by Hasbro, then artists at Marvel Productions drew storyboards based on these scripts. Animation for all 95 episodes was outsourced to Toei in Japan, along with the 1987 feature, G.I.Joe: The Movie. The art shown below was storyboarded by Marvel Productions and illustrated by animators at Toei.

The J.U.M.P., or Jet Mobile Propulsion Unit, is like many other weapons used by the Joes in that it is highly experimental. It essentially consists of a strap-on, back-mounted rocket pack that gives the Joe wearing it exceptional air-based mobility, and is itself possessed of these statistics:

Mounted on the J.U.M.P. as a sort of sidearm is a laser rifle similar to that which Flash uses as part of his field weaponry, one that can be used to inflict Armor Piercing Energy damage with each deadly burst, and can fire about ten shots before it needs to be recharged.

The J.U.M.P., which has a top speed of about 150 miles per hour, can fly for up to two hours without needing a refuel. The controls for the pack, along with an infrared sight are located on top of the laser rifle - allowing its pilot to effectively fly and shoot at the same time.

The J.U.M.P.'s operation is enhanced by these features:

Control Station: this computer has a specialized hookup with the J.U.M.P. that allows it to run diagnostic tests on the unit, as well as properly monitor the rocket pack while it is in use. It can track the J.U.M.P. with average ability, meaning that this feature works as long as the pack is within 100 miles.

Gear Cases: the J.U.M.P. has, spread about its other features, various cases filled with useful gear. It has a fully stocked first aid kit, tool kit, and a few spare parts should the rocket pack get damaged slightly while being used in the field.

Launch Pad: this V.T.O.L platform, especially designed for use with the J.U.M.P., is built from a magnesium frame (lightweight for transport purposes) but topped with a titanium landing pad, which can easily resist the flames and thrust generated by the J.U.M.P.'s taking off and landing.

Refueling Stations: the J.U.M.P. is usually mounted on a special rack adjacent to its launch pad, one that hooks into the fuel pump and power pack of the rocket pack and laser rifle, respectively. Assuming a ready supply of fuel and electricity is available, the J.U.M.P. can be used in the field long-term.
