So I have spent some time trimming my Joe teams down, and dividing them into sub-units. The ideas is to make them more independent units and teams.
GI Joe: Strike Unit Zulu. Support team for Extreme conditions- Arctic Environments. Codenames: Coldfront, Sub-Zero, Snow Job, Iceberg, Alpine, Frostbite, Snow Storm GI Joe: Support for extreme environments or special circumstance. Codenames: Payload, Psych Out, Tripwire, Chuckles, Lifeline, Airtight. GI Joe: Command and Support staff. Mobile Ops and security. Codenames: Law, Dial-Tone, Oversight (Joe Colton, GI Joe Commander), Breaker, Mutt. Taskforce 141; Eastern European Counter terrorism Squad. On detachment to GI Joe. Codenames: Ghost, Soap, Dollarsign. GI Joe: Strike Unit Alpha. Primary team for missions on Terrorist units. Code names: Snake Eyes, Mercer, Scarlett, Beachhead, Duke (L), Tunnel Rat GI Joe: Fast Support Unit Foxtrot. Medium Range support unit for drop to support Fire teams. Codenames: Skydive, Ripcord, Crazylegs. GI Joe: Strike Unit Bravo. Primary team for missions on Terrorism Units. Codenames: Bazooka, Sandstorm, Hawk (L), Dusty, Flint, Lady Jaye, Sci Fi GI Joe: Special Missions support. Surgical Strikes, Surveillance, Recon. Codenames: Recondo, Helix, Storm Shadow, Lowlight, Gunsight. GI Joe: Transport Unit. Support and drive staff for Vehicles. Deployed as needed. Codenames: Wild Bill, Ace, Lift Ticket, Clutch, Cutter, Crank Case, Heavy Metal, Mayday, Kick Start, Glenda GI Joe: Extraction unit Sierra. Support for main teams, covert recon and demolitions. Codenames: Wetsuit, Torpedo, Shipwreck. GI Joe: Strike Unit Charlie. Primary Strike Team for missions on Terrorism Units. Codenames - Gung Ho, Hit n Run, Outback, Stalker, Spirit, Falcon (L), Rock n Roll, Bombshell. Spirit - Tracker GI Joe Support team: Steel Brigade. Drawn from the ranks of the worlds military, this is a stepping stone to becoming a full Joe member. Rock n Roll - Heavy Weapons Glenda - Helicopter Pilot. (British Air Force) Mayday - Ghost Hawk Pilot. Helix - Special Operations. Bombshell - Demolitions. Crank Case - AWE Striker Driver. Shipwreck - Naval Operations.

Wow, those are a lot of great customs. I like how you broke them down similar to the modern comics.
Criticism - Assassinations are a no-no. Give them a different term like "precision fires" - Dial-Tone - you change him to a her. Not happy with the comic. The figure's colors do hold to the original though. - The Air Support unit. I wish you had put them all in the winged gear. Crazy Legs' parachute is so traditional and what not provide the same capability. Questions - What was the basis for Payload? - Why not put SE on the same special team as SS? He is a unique individual that can fill many roles - Why movie Ripcord? |

Thanks for the kind words sir.
- yeah I know I need a better name. I was tired when I thought up the title ;) - Dial Tone is just a recolor of the ROC Dial Tone. I'm in favor of adding more female Joes, so i don't mind the change. - Crazy Legs has a Jetpack, Ripcord has the parachute. And i figure Ripcord is more for Stealth Ops. - That was a 25th Anniversary Ace - SS isn't on a team, they are troops detached to units to do special missions. SE is a Commando with Ninja training in my Joe verse; SS is a specialist. - Adds more diversity to the team.

I love how you grouped each unit. And the customs are amazing
I agree with the assassination remarks by cardensb, his suggestion was great. May I suggest also as an alternative spooks, off grid team, surgical strike team, section 8's, black ops, etc. great work there man |
