Nice Tyroc. Mine are locked away as well. I just noticed I don't see Sgt Slaughter on the lists. Isn't there another issue where they show every teams deployment during WWIII?
Love the alpha team names Takedown. How is Zero Platoon deployed? Its just the support platoon?

Steeler was intended to be E-5.
GI Joe was originally conceived as a vehicle line where you could get all of the vehicles in 1982 for under $100. I remember that Wayne Luther said that in Tomart's or Lee's some time ago. Since the Mobat was the signature vehicle that holiday season and featured heavily television commercials, Hasbro overrode Hama and made the Tank Commander an officer. Remember, the Missile Commander was also an officer. I am sure if Hasbro had their way, ignoring military protocol and common sense, Steeler would have been the team leader over Hawk, the Missile Commander. |

loosecannon, I didnt catch that until now. But I guess in my joe-verse they are a support platoon. But, I guess how I imagined each and every Squad is called to action on their own time to shine. In the mountains, a hazmat incident, a tracking mission or some extra muscle from a weapons squad.
eleavitt2000, when I was a kid I only knew of the order of battle ranks, unless I had the filecard. So when I found out he was an officer, I was reluctant. I kept him as a sergeant, because even the yearbook omitted his rank completely. So I thought that maybe Hama might have wanted him as an enlisted.

In the movie G.I.Joe Retaliation,would the explosion in the prison be enough to overwhelm the Nanomites in Storm Shadow? Since Storm Shadow killed Zartan with a sword thrust to the heart,
would that have been to much for the Nanomites to repair? |

In ROC Zartan took his nanomite controller, so perhaps the one controlling SS was damaged/destroyed in the explosion? Re. repairs, do we have a list of what the nanomites were able to repair injury-wise - they could do facial reconstruction, eject cobra venom, what else? There are a fair few ways to explain Zartan's being killed by a sword (I don't even remember that part, will have to watch it again!), but basically a sword through the heart will do some pretty gross damage to the musculature, which they may not have the ability to repair due to its size/complexity. Another possibility is that they require oxygen to operate and repairing something as complex as a heart takes too long, and they run out of oxygen, etc. Blood loss is another option. |

Has anyone else picked up the Field Manuals for GI JOE? I picked up the 2 printed so far and there are some more secrets.
*Lt JG Skip A Stone codename Cutter has an added first name of Ronald. The original Lt Stone lol... A few paygrade differences has slipped their way in. *Deep Six, FM#1 page 66 of CPO *Mutt, FM#1 page 70 of E-6 *Chuckles, FM#2 page 93 of E-6 *Backstop, FM#2 page 97 of E-4 *Lady Jaye, FM#2 page 166 of E-6 (DIC Years) [E-4 earlier in FM#2 and also in FM#1] *Sky Dive, FM#2 page 174 of E-5

And now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
They are 2 books about the size of graphic novels with approximately 210 pages of each book detailing information on the cartoon show with ink black and white sketches as a sort of series bible for sunbow & dic to follow during the show.

While at work and on my break, I caught the last 10 minutes of G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra. I saw something interesting in the fight scene between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. If Storm Shadow had been infused with the nanomites, shouldn`t his wounds have healed while he was fighting Snake Eyes? At the end of the fight,
it looks like Storm Shadow got stabbed in the chest by Snake Eyes. If he was infused by the nanomites, how did he survive after falling into the icy water? |
