That's actually a neat alternative code-name.
This is the part where it becomes a bit of a slog for me. That is, right now I'm working mostly on Joes I don't really have any nostalgic ties to, and I'm only re-creating them because I need some "named" Joes to fill out the aviation element's positions (stuff like mechanics and whatnot). I'll be taking more liberties with these guys as far as designs go, as I don't feel any particular need to stay faithful to any one interpretation of them (since most of these characters either never appeared in toy form or were foreign re-paints/re-decos of pre-existing ARAH characters). There will still be the odd unique characters though, and those I'll be treating the same way as the previous ARAH Joes.
Top row: Feedback, One-Timer
Second row: Heavy-Hitter, Five-Spot
Design notes:
Feedback, One-Timer, Heavy-Hitter, and Five-Spot all appeared briefly in Devil's Due Publishing's
GI Joe Frontline
series. They were in a five man group of "greenshirts" with numerical identifiers as code-names (called One, Two, Three, Four, and Five)... "Two," "Three," and "Four" would eventually get their own code-names, "Feedback," "Heavy-Fire," and "Fifty," respectively ("One" and "Five" never did graduate to having more unique code-names). I decided to give "One" and "Five" code-names linked to their original ones, while changing the boring "Heavy-Fire" to a somewhat more interesting "Heavy-Hitter." I'm using Feedback as a command post systems operator, and the three guys as aircraft fuel technicians (Four/Fifty, I've got plans to re-make as a C-130/C-27J loadmaster).
