  • The Transport Helicopter was a vehicle that appeared as the boss of Fort Firestorm in Super Contra, also appearing as the first boss in the game. It was capable of shooting four turrets at the player, as well as launching multiple soldiers at the player. In the original Arcade version, the boss battle doesn't end with the helicopter out of action, instead it continues to the inside of Fort Firestorm, where the player battles an energy core.
  • The UH-60 Blackhawk Transport Helicopter, callsign Thunder or Ghost Hog is a Transport / Support Helicopter used by Blackwatch and the Marines during the containment operation on Manhattan Island.
  • Owing to their small capacity, transport helicopters normally cannot reliably move large armies at any speed (although they are one of the cheaper air units and so are conceivably massable). Using transport helicopters where they count is key for effective use. Transport helicopters can be used to sneak infantry behind enemy lines to cap HQs.
