I am starting a list and inviting all of you to pitch in some of your suggestions for figure codenames and M.O.S./Specialties. Also Team/Subteam names that would also apply for new factions or other Paramilitary ops groups. I have seen several of yours, I am just offering a place to up the game a bit and open up Ideas for expansion or even a line of our own.
General Jack Chance: Air Force General
Pursuit: MP/Police
Arsenal: Armory/Supply/Heavy Weapons
Torque: Motorpool/Mech
Miranda: MP/Police/CID (Female)
Black Diamond: Arctic Trooper
Hard Pack: Arctic Trooper
Richter: Combat Engineer/Geologist
Riptide: S.E.A.L./Diver (if it's not taken)
More to follow, but this might help customizers that have figures that need names.

Ok, So Did you make him a S.E.A.L. Team member or is he Coast Guard? just curious, As I am sure "SOMEONE" in the Writers Threads Might just make some Bio's up for this if this actually catches on. :P (Wink Wink)
anyway To everyone pitching in Thanks for the input. I also have a name for a Custom, he is more bada$$ than Joe Colton, Snake eyes, and lowlight combined.
Hasbro has been (Not) making him for years.
NO-Show: he's the guy that does the real work. you just never see him do it. but never gets a figure.

Ok, Subteam names OR New faction name? I mean Destro has the Iron Grenadiers, Zartan has his Crew, SGT. Slaughter has 2 groups technically The Marauders and The Renegades.
then pitch in the October Guard and Cobra-la and it's looking abit lopsided for the joes, Hell the October Guard has fewer members than Tiger Force or the D.E.F. so do they count or are they just a Branch off of Action Force? I personally would love to see more come out of this than just to expand the Joe universe as the movie has moved things from a "National" to "international" team I think a bit of fleshing out would be nice too. with in a logical way as to not have any "Misunderstandings".
As for a Name (Shame on me for this one) BUT I just got Reminded about a "Group" from a game that I am not ashamed to admit I like and have NO problem "Using it"
Talon Company: Soldiers of fortune/Mercs that offer protection (For a price depending on the situation and their "generosity"
though I doubt i will go for the full "Hit list" thing. but could see them at odds with the Joes and cobra at various times,

thanks, those were just in the moment ideas..
this one I put a little thought into:
General Lee (Peter Wolf) Dreadnok - Moonshiner /Bartender
Peter Wolf was an aspiring Master Brewer when working on a new Hops concentration technique he caused an explosion and exposed himself to extremely potent fumes that has left him with permanently slurred speech and a walk best described as a drunken stagger. As a Dreadnok he serves as Bartender and alcohol maker. A man well loved by all the dreadnoks. not an easy position to obtain.
Spend 5 minutes with the man and you’ll know he gets his nick name for two reasons. #1. He ends every conversation with the phrase “generally speaking”. #2. He is a very distant relation of the civil war general – in a very “generally speaking” kind of way.

I put a Shock Trooper Head on a CP Wild Bill (baby blue body) and named him "Long Shot".
Because he has a long shot I'll ever use his parts for a custom.

I call this guy "Skin Graft"
Bio:
Allen Vavenski was one of Cobra Commander’s pet-project that was handed over to Dr. Mindbender in attempt to transform into a Cobra super soldier. The experiment went wrong and although the serum heightened Allen’s threshold of pain, the explosion was far too devastating. Allen’s entire body suffered from severe burns and his hand had to be amputated just below the left elbow. Although, Allen awoke to a nightmarish tragedy his allegiance to Cobra Commander never diminished. After several attempts to heal his wounds, it was Allen himself whom decided to discontinue treatment and return to the field as an elite Cobra Officer.

lol, Now that's funny, but Long shot does leave a few options for M.O.S./Specialties open, From Sniper to missiles or mortar specialist, Might be better for one of the lead S.L.A.M. position or even as and Forward Observations to call for fire/Air support (Which is usually a long shot of actually showing up on time except when Wild Bill is leading the charge :P)
