And the HD we all know, will probably be given a new code name, but the core of the character will remain the same, like his real name, etc..
I love Larry Hama.
I respect him and I really appreciate all he's done for G.I. Joe.
But on this issue, if what you're reporting about him is accurate, then he needs to SHUT UP.
Marvin S. Hinton's code name is "Roadblock". It's that simple.
"Heavy Duty" is an adjective more often than not.
"Roadblock" is a noun. People need nouns for names.
Adjectives made ridiculous and silly names.
Anybody who can carry a .50 cal is anything but silly or ridiculous.
