The RoC Rampage is Heavy Metal, file name Sherman Guerdian.
BTW, Speed Metal is given the original Heavy Metal's filename. Hasbro loves to confuse us. Rampage is a ranger qualified cavalry scout. Not sure yet which figure will be him.

I like the set up alot. I might change a few in my perfect Platoon, but I'm curious as to what some of the significant differences are to you.
So Big Ben is he SAS or US? Urzor as a Joe. Beachhead outranks Stalker are the main ones I see. What about other pilots for Copilots like Air Raid? or Cannonball? or Matt Trakker? |

I tend to keep Stalker as a Team Leader though he should rightfully be used as a Squad or Platoon Leader. I guess I always felt guys like Beach Head and Leatherneck were senior because Stalker's E-7 rank didn't come out on file cards til much later. Urzor, Alpinista and Big Ben are on foregin exchange for this mission because I needed the extra men. I forgot about Air Raid and Cannonball. But Matt Tracker? Never considered him a Joe.
I use to have that same view of BH and Leatherneck and then there was the one comic where Stalker gets injured and Snake-Eyes tell the team to go on and he'll stay behind and cover them. Stalker is saying no, but Leatherneck says well Snake-Eyes is the 2nd in command so he's now giving the orders. Then he takes the scope and the M203 and builds a better weapon to go kick some ass, only to get caught. I was very confused, then like two years later we get both and Deep-Six and Rock'n'Roll as E-7s As far as Matt Trakker, well they gave him a figure, and a helicopter thingy. Plus I'd hate to see Flint in a chopper and not on the ground. To me he's R&D for the Joes with Gears and GI Jane and Hi-Tech. |

I was wondering why Grunt when he returns does not come back as an Officer? Not that he was suppose to, but he seems to be more of a go-getter, and a reliable guy. Why wouldn't Hawk try to get him to do OCS or something.

Well, it might have been a question of slots available. Grunt left the Joe team as a NCO. The Joe Team is probably only has so many slots for Officers. Grunt probably liked being, well, a "grunt". He probably enjoyed being an Infantry NCO.

Not everyone in the service wants to be an officer.
My buddy graduated from VMI, turned down the commission, and enlisted. |

Yeah I guess that is more in character with Grunt, but I feel like he sort of got forgotten. I sort of see a side of him that may be an officer. I'm just wondering how different he would be if he were to become an officer. But considering he got an Engineering degree, maybe he'd be in the lab with Matt Trakker and Gears, and Brainstorm. There are a few Joes that are College Grads that didn't do the officer route. Mainframe I can see since he's older and doesn't care about being an Officer. Scoop? Not sure.
