I'm thinking Ambush would be one of the hidden rangers on the team, he certainly seems to match what Recoil would be doing. When he made appearances, he was part of the recon team.
So would he be a recon?

Good Question.
He was the first to come with a ghilli suit. His weapon certainly seems like a sniper rifle. What it that thing anyway? Is it one of these? T.C.I. M89-SR Walther WA2000 It's a great question. Ambush was one of my favorites as a child. He's the lowest ranking member of the Joe team, and that makes him pretty unique. He's like a Private First Class - so sending him out by himself doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I would use him as a Spotter for a Sniper. He came in the Dino Hunters set with Low-Light, and although it's made clear elsewhere that Low-Light doesn't need a spotter, it would seem to me that Ambush might make an excellent partner for one of the other sharp shooters on the team. He's excellent at hiding, and I'm sure he could help with infiltration, ranging, judging windage, and exfiltrating. Snipers usually work in pairs. What do you guys think?

By extention, if Ambush is working on a Sniper Team, then he would certainly be doing recon work. I know Ambush is Army, but I always liked the fact that the Marine Corps refers to it's snipers as "Scout/Snipers". And a LOT of Force Recon guys go through the Scout/Sniper school at Quantico. I would think he could work very well with someone like Recoil or Side Track v1.

Considering Ambush's low rank, it's unlikely he would be a Ranger.

Aren't Recoil and Ambush were good at sneaking up on people?

A spotter, that's perfect for Ambush. Good thinking Oliver.

Yes, snipers typically work in pairs, and Ambush would be a great spotter, but I treat him as a sniper because he's geared for it and the Joes need more snipers.

In fact I use Side Track (who is Ambush incognito) as a sniper and I've given him an additional M82 anti-materiel sniper rifle.

Hey guy how are you all? yojoe.com updated their 2008 filecards/figures listings.
Early in this thread (page in 40's I think) we had a discussion about whether Bullhorn was Marine because of his time in Quantico. In his recently expanded file card for the convention set, it days he was an instructor at the FBI Academy.

I Still like my officers. This is a squad leader to me: YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Cobra Squad Leader It seems like the club wants to make Bullhorn an FBI agent. This was what I thought all along. But the fact he's not an officer makes a case against it. Unless of course, he joined the reserves then he may be enlisted. |
