Blood for the Baron!

This has probably been brought up before... but in my mind the joes will have been members of one of the teams at some point. Some that come to mind:

Trent -
Roadblock
Footloose

Snake eys-
Hit & Run
Tunnel Rat
Recondo

Cutter -
Torpedo
Wetsuit

Dialtone -
Ace

Fairly obvious I suppose, I'm intersted in hearing other suggestions...

I intend to get every single GI Joe and reassign them to the four squads. Ace is Q Force though, because the Skystriker goes with the USS Flagg.

Two separate universes in my opinion. Joes are the heroic type of fighters that are capable of slaying an entire army single handed whilst retaining a perfect haircut. Action Force worked as a team, more dirty action and casualties.

I mentioned something similar when I recently discovered GI Joe on DVD. Although I'm a big fan of the fanciful aspects of Action Force (ie. , , , and ), it seems that on the whole Battle Action Force was more realistic. That doesn't mean I don't like Gi Joe!!! http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB2/ ... =25&t=2103

As for Joes in Action Force, I know that Flash was introduced as a Rifleman ( third panel; http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/blood/S ... %2002.html ), but he carries a Laser Rifle for crivvens sakes! I nominate him for Space Force!

Anyone in camo - Z Force.
Anyone in black - SAS
Anyone garish - Q force
Anyone Sci-fi - Space Force
Cobra - Red Shadow underdogs

Ha ha!

So... Flash;
Camo with big red panels? ?
Or does he blast-off into orbit courtesy of ?

Definitely, the Cobra troops would be the main army, and the Shadows the sinister elite pulling their strings.

Hmmm, green and red? Flash would end up in Z Force for me. The goal here is to assing them without repainting, right?

Flint is tricky, camo and black, so I'd revise the SAS membership to being all-black, and make him another Z Forcer.

I was thinking more based on whether the character was a "good fit" for the force... so flash would defo be space force

It'd make for some interesting customs, flint in style anti-terrorist gear anyone...

Recondo was supposed to be ex aussie sas, and I read in one of the marvel AF's last night (on the letters page!) that both flint and footloose where ex-sas. Strictly applying the no repaint rule most joes will end up in z-force won't they?

Think i might come up with list of joes just to see how many there'd be.

Scanning the yo joe file cards archive I've found these potential candidates:

dialtone
sci-fi
slip-stream
starduster*
dee-jay*
countdown*

and a maybe with

psyche-out

not that many really! though beyond 1988 I haven't heard of most of them the * ones above I'd never heard of until I just did that bit of 'research'!

Another thought was that z-force might have evolved some sub-divisions:

artic warfare division: iceberg, snow job

medical corps headed up by the original z force medic: doc, lifeline


I guess the paras: ripcord, airborne, crazylegs, fit into but part of me wonders if should have had an airborn division as well....
