What are all the things the comvee from the wild thornberrys can do?

Answer 1

In the popular Nikelodeon series, "The Wild Thornberrys", the comvee (Communications Vehicle) has an array of gadgets and "modes" in which in can operate.

It uses each gadget and/or mode for unique purposes, usually to defend the vehicle, and those inside, from some type of natural disaster - though this is not always the case.

For instance, next to the comvee's primary doorway, on the left from the interior, there's an emergency switch box with a selection of triggers to activate in case of certain types of emergencies, like storms or other natural disasters. It's been shown to have a switch for everything from Floods, Stampedes and Monsoons, to Avalanches, Dust Storms, Tsunamis and Earthquakes.

{Amphibious Mode}

The comvee possesses an infatable raft, that's held in an all-around compartment, located below the vehicle, and just behind each tire. The raft is composed of a number of floats which can be used to allow the comvee travel above bodies of water. A large air compressor at the rear of the comvee serves as the source of inflation. Essentially, it's amphibious, meaning it can easily traverse both land and water. This raft can be triggered via a remote controller device, a button on the dash board, or even by activating the switches next to the "Flood", "Monsoon", or "Earthquake" emergency box located next to the primary entrance, though Earthquake is usually accompanied by shielding over the windows. Propellers can also be extended from the vehicle's bottom in this mode, to allow for propulsion 'cross water bodies.

{Submersible Mode}

The comvee can also operate as a partial submarine. It has a water-tight submersible mode which allows it to travel under water, as seen in the episode "Reef Grief". In this mode, the comvee's window edges are sealed via water-tight shields, and "balancing fins" extend from each side to allow balance in submerged conditions. (Under Water) This can also be seen in the episode "Pack of Thornberrys" when Donnie is playing with the switch box. This is also accompanied by propellers which extend from the vehicle's lower rear, near the bumper.

{Security System Mode}

The comvee has a security system which shields the entire body on the right and left sides with iron panel-plating. It's quite dense, and serves as a great protector from outside threats. Nigel first activated this system in the episode "Thornberry Island", where the family was trapped afterward, since the release switch was located inside the comvee at the time, though this may have been changed afterward.

{Other Gadgets}

The comvee has also been shown to carry other gadgets in relation with the aforementioned modes.

These gadgets include hooked ropes for securing the vehicle's position, which can be fired from forward ports, as seen in the episode "A Shaky Foundation".

Also, the comvee possesses a periscope, (submarine scope), an anchor which can be dropped from the bottom of the vehicle

The comvee also carries a forward plow which can be used to "force" its way through an avalanche, or thick amounts of snow. This is usually accompanied by a pair of tracks which cover the rear wheels of the vehicle, similar to track tanks or snowmobile tracks, to make travel over icy regions easier.

Aside from a satellite dish, shortwave radios, equipment, and other things you'd commonly find in a traveling motor home, that's about it. I apologize if I missed anything and I hope this answers your question. God bless you and be safe.
