Peck just needs to be a Capt. However A-teams were set up in Vietnam they fine tuned it so it works better today. Namely the WO-2 as the XO.
I don't understand the IDW team at all. We have no idea of anyone's rank besides those two. Hawk might be a 4 star general now. Keel Haul might be a petty Officer. I can't tell.

But yeah with the Joe elite 80's style I am using the WO-2 as the XO position. Tho my Duke is following the cartoon/movie position as an A-Team 18A as a Captain. Since this is Elite/Special Forces and not regular army.

Yeah, IDW hasn't done much to solidify the ranking structure. Scarlett seems to be Hawk's XO. Duke's an E-7.

Yeah Im just saying because the briefing at the beginning of the movies 'the Green Berets', the XO takes care of logistics of the unit, just like Peck and at the time they used Lt's as XO's. Im using the A Team as 70's soldiers, and 72-80's 'renegades' So they really dont have rank-per-say with the DOD, but only among themselves. Not really using them as a cross-universe option in my GI JOE Unit.
But yeah with the Joe elite 80's style I am using the WO-2 as the XO position. Tho my Duke is following the cartoon/movie position as an A-Team 18A as a Captain. Since this is Elite/Special Forces and not regular army. I have my DUke as a Major. In my verse the Joes are one step above the Green Berets or MARSOC so the typical "A-team" is led by a Major instead. My main Majors being Duke; Claymore; Rapid-Fire; Bullet-proof; Barrage; Buckingham(Action Force's Eagle); Dutch; Stone(Extreme)

Well Ive finally watched "Predator" 1987 movie yesterday. Because I finally got Billy, I err mean, Spirit. I'm still watching the Unit and The A Team, but I like the Predator's setup. Almost reminds me of a Major Duke, Flint, Clutch, Recondo, Roadblock and Spirit setup.
Still fine tuning my A-Teams setup. Still taking & using idea that Hawk is a Major from the origin that [Hawk] was Colonel Nick Fury's son for FURY FORCE. and Colton a bearded Movie Duke head on a GI JOE Trooper's body as the Lieutenant Colonel. During my research on the Green Berets. For my explanation of 1LT Templeton Peck on "The A-Team" does seem to work out in 1969-1972 era. According to the book Im reading they had 2Lt's being XO's of A-Teams in 1968 because they were running out of experienced officers for the XO's position. Peck dropped out of college, joined the army in 68, (did about a year of OCS & Special Ops school training) a year later he met Hannibal and Baracus. Then by 1971-72 he would have been a 1st Lieutenant. But the Baracus problem still exists, a 19 year old Spec-6 or E-7 This week I picked up the IDW GI JOE #1 Graphic novel, in chapter 1, When Duke and Beachhead are entering the PIT. Are the paygrades being indicated with the security checkpoint voice print... E-7 & E-6?

Has anyone else gotten one of the 12" Sideshow figures? They're pretty cool, but I really wish they were giving Flint and Beach-head the proper beret colors.

Wait a minute, you mean you just watched Predator for the first time!? Where have you been living, in a cave, man? Predator was one of the greatest sci-fi action thrillers to have come out of the 80s. It's a classic. That's like saying you've just watched the Wizard of Oz for the first time or Star Wars.
I was sheltered in the 80's. No movie channels, just Disney. Only movie I had seen in the 80's in a theater was Annie for my sister's b-day. Tho Star Wars Episodes 4-6, I'd seen in the 90's. Of Course Ive seen the Wizard of Oz, who in Kansas not seen it? Especially since my mom's name is Dorothy.

Sideshow has a forum. I was looking for a 1:6 Michael Westen figure, and there was a guy on there who said he had made some - so in order to send him a message, I joined their forum.
wow. I cannot recommend it at all. Those guys know NOTHING about G.I. Joe. They're all pumped up about Sideshow figures, but they don't know JACK about G.I. Joe. Which really shouldn't surprize me; if they knew anything about Joe, they would be here or one of the other Joe forums. So I think I'll get Flint and Beach-head. I'm not as interested in the Cobra figures. However, I'll swap the berets. I found a guy on ebay who makes custom felt berets for 1:6 figures, and they're really good. Flint's black beret bothers me, and Beach-Head's red beret - There are NO Red berets in the Army - the Airborne wears Maroon berets, but Beach-Head is a RANGER (and WE all know he's a Green Beret)! I'll probably get a beret for Duke while I'm at it. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but being over there just reminded me that there are a lot of idiots out there.

I have preorders in for Flint and Beachhead. Firefly is the only other one interested in.
Ninjas, no thanks. There's a video in the Sideshow forum here, that I found, that shows some of the upcoming and they have design sketches for Stalker and Dusy (who looks AWESOME). BTW, if you order any Sideshow, can you do it thru Kitty's Pryde? lol We're an affliate and we get a percentage of each sale. BTW, got some new Joeverse stuff coming. Grittier then before. Okay, coming sooner then thought, lol. I had a couple of older things, that didnt' fit into my first Joeverse, hanging around that were easily adapted to fit the new. So I'm going with those. Three stories. I'm premiering on Kitty's Pryde and will post here in a day or two. I'll probably alternate stories, from one site to the next. http://kittyspryde.forumotion.com/cr...t1115.htm#7563
