Hey there.
I didn't read the other dozen or so pages so this may have been answered, but if you join the military and do not have a middle name, your middle initial is arbitrarily made X - so you might be born John Smith, no middle name, but the military will know you as JXS, for example. It took me a few months to figure this out - for the first few months I was in the Navy, I thought it was mighty odd that so many people had middle names starting with an X. edit: make that "other 1160+ pages" o.O |

Welcome to the thread! It's always nice to have military on the Tank. All opinions are encouraged and welcome.

Recoil is one of my favorites, but certainly because of the character and not the costume. I continue to tweak my Joe organization with all the good ideas that get posted in this thread. I'm not sure how to fit them in yet but I really like having the drivers as Cavalry Scouts. There are a about a dozen drivers that i would like to see in my modern era line up- Rollbar- i'm using the one from the cycle 2 pack for one of my HALO guys, mine would be based on his V1/ V2 look Rumbler- V1 Clutch/ Double Clutch- combo of 2003 & 2007 Steeler- V3 Thunder/ Thunderwing/ Thunderblast- Crankcase- V1 Heavy Metal- V1 Major Storm- V1 Switch Gears- V2 i know thats not quite 12. Any suggestions? edit- add V2 Long Range which is a totally different person from V1. Last edited by Topside; 02-18-2010 at 11:06 AM.. |

Not that this team would kick all sorts of Ass. Why not use the rest of the Airborne Joes?
Like Ripcord as your other Engineer since he has Demolitions as his SMS. Altitude outranks Both Big Brawler and Skydive(Who should be an officer really) Crazylegs as your alternate Comm guy. He's cross trained as an Artillery coordinator so I assume some communications skill, but Sneak-Peek is also listed as an Airborne Ranger and his SMS is Radio. (I can't separate the two. Both versions of both figures match exactly color wise) Freefall and Starduster become redundant Weapons Sgts. I guess Big Ben in on loan? Where's Duke? Yeah How many guys do you leave as Rangers? I guess we all sort of assume that most of the Joes should be Ranger Qualified instead of just the 25-30 as listed. I guess those 20 start to look like good candidates for Special Forces. I mean how many Halo Jumper teams does the Army have? It seems sort of specialized. I did have a pure HALO team at one time but I figure all the Joes are Airborne qualified so I don't have a problem using Tunnel Rat and Stretcher and Dial-Tone. |

Poor Dee Jay.
He had the lamest "time" of any one and done Joe (one appearance only). Mangler died in his only appearance, but at least he went out like a hero. Dee Jay? He appears, says two words, gets bombed to hell. Two things about the death of BF2000... 1 - what was Maverick doing flying the Vector so low and thru an oil storage area? Wouldn't the heat given off by the engines be enough to ignite the area anyways? But damn that is some awesome flying, taking that huge jet so low and between drums. 2 - the only one to survive massive explosions of oil drums is the one guy that is not in an armored vehicle?

Tollbooth is a driver and as a combat engineer, he technically should be proficient in demolitions.
I'd really like to see a more combat friendly Tollbooth figure. |

Tollbooth is one of my favorites. I use him as part of the engineer crew, building temporary fortifications and such.

Yeah I wonder if Zulu still has that image he made of a Special Forces Tollbooth. That's my Tollbooth. I'd hate to see some of these guys come back with ME articulation exactly as they orignally appeared.
Tollbooth is mostly Dress appropriately, as are Crankcase, Heavy Metal, Clutch, THunder. But Wildcard, Skidmark, Cross Country? THose guys need some help. |
