The gimmick behind it was cool as it could float and Deep six could dive with the little pump thing. But even when it came out I didn't want it. Mostly because Deep six's limited Articulation. My Brother had it and never played with it after the initial Christmas excitement wore off. I've managed to pick up 3 over the years from lot sales. All missing the canopy.
The one thing I ca appreciate is how well DeepSix fits in the cockpit. Its back when Hasbro use to make sure everything fit correctly and gave maximum playability. I guess they just missed those thin little hinges for the cockpit.

I'm still tempted to get one when they turn up on the Chinese ebay seller sites and to motorise it - there's enough space inside, from the looks of it, that it would be possible to get in some RC kit or more simply some sort of non-interactive diving control.
On the back burner until the weather cheers up here and I can imagine actually swimming somewhere on holiday (I also need a pool)! |

Anyone here going to Joecon in Indy?
When we talk about the Joe Marines, why don't we ever mention Mainframe? He started out Airborne in the Army, went to MIT and joined the Marines after his degree. |

What are you talking about? We ALWAYS mention Mainframe. It's never been omitted or debated. He wears an EGA on his helmet!
Gung-Ho Leatherneck Sgt. Slaughter Mainframe Those are the classic USMC Joes. Now, I want to talk about the Combat Officers on the Joe Team... No one over the rank of Lt. Colonel... but let's discuss the (O-1 to O-4)Combat Officers, and Let's include Flint. 1. Steeler 2. Flint 3. Falcon 4. Claymore 5. Super Trooper 6. Rapid-Fire 7. Sub-Zero 8. Major Storm 9. Major Barrage 10. Bullet Proof 11. Psyche-Out 12. Sure-Fire Am I missing anyone? Other than Cutter, who I really don't think of as a "Combat Officer".

How you run your Joeverse is your business, brother. I actually think Marines first is more realistic... I've known a lot of guys who joined the Corps at 18, hated it, and then enlisted in the Army. Happens all the time. The Official Continuity is what it is, but who is to say what the new IDW continuity is... to me "Hama-verse" is the "official" continuity.

It's story-related.
For his role in the story, where it starts from, he needs to be working for the Army after becoming an analyst, so he can be working with Shana O'Hara's team in Army Intelligence. |

Torpedo and Wet Down if your adding Warrant Officers? Thunderwing?

Speaking of Officers how many guys do you think are mis-ranked?
I've changed so many I start forgetting they are not actual officers according to canon, but they tend to work better as officers. There are a few pilot/helicopter pilots who should be Warrant Officers at least. For example Hollow-Point. Listed as a Range Officer in the Marine Corp and a helicopter pilot. http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/03/btrhollowpoint.shtml Range Officer is a Warrant Officer MOS in the USMC, and you have to be at least a Warrant Officer to fly a helicopter.

Great Calls. I had completely forgotten that Thunderwing was an Officer. Nice catch, Loose. How the heck did I leave off Grid-Iron?
