Now sure quite what you mean, but they did a Convention special SWAT team, and Shockwave/Shockblast was the leader. It included Low-Light, Long Arm, and Bull Horn. I would have liked to have seen Wide Scope and Barricade on that team as well... possibly lead by Bullet-Proof or Sure Fire.

That's cool. Where did you find your new Shockwave? Is he a cool figure?

i found him at GTSG.com i over-payed to get it now. he is cool but i had to make some alterations to the cobra trooper torso to make him shoulder his mp5 correctly, that is until he gets a shotty since he is a front man.
i want to have him, and then wide scope, sure fire, and lowlight for my squad. i want to get the wide scope accesories but everything else will be 25th custom |

Not sure exactly what you mean, but I think Top Side, Deep Six, and Rampart are all a little out of place in the G.I. Joe Team. I mean, why aren't they SEALs? It doesn't seem like the Navy would have too much else to offer a Special Forces unit like G.I. Joe... well, maybe the Sea Bees or some of the Pilots.
I think they should send those guys through BUD/S and make them SEALs like they did with Shipwreck. But as Troynos is often fond of reminding us, they should give them camo uniforms and not just make them repainted divers. Quote:
With or without the life jacket?
I would do a head swap with one of the Shipwrecks that went with the Piranha. Either the blue one or the Green one that came with the Eel I think. YOJOE.COM | Shipwreck YOJOE.COM | Shipwreck I think the joes do need some of these Navy guys. For one how do they get to Cobra Island half the time? Plus all those SEALs need the Special Boat crews to get them there. (Cutter) and someone has to man the guns on the Whale. (Topside) (Mariner) (Rampart) (Deep-Six when he's not diving) I assume Topside should be a Special Boat Squad guy as is Mariner. With Cutter and Rampart, these would be the guys that would board a Pirate ship or a platform that sits in the ocean. Along with the Marines of Course. Three Specialties missing from the Navy: Special Boat Squad, SeeBee & Corpsman What I'm wondering is, did they just put him there just because... Or could he be correct as the pilot. If he is, I was gonna make him up to match my Special Forces unit I was making... And yes, with the Vest.... Woul it look funny being OD green?

Topside most definately isn't a pilot. That's just Hasbro's cross-advertising. They did that alot with the driver-less vehicles, just threw figures into the cockpits.
I think Tiger Force Bazooka is driving the Tiger Force boat. They show off the figure, maybe influence someone to buy it. Definately wouldn't use the boxart. I still think Topside should be Coast Guard, like Cutter. He'd be a boarding officer. The Navy doesn't have a direct coorelation for what his filecard states he does, but the Coast Guard does.

And as for the original 13, I've always kind of thought alot of them were also a little young. Hawk, Stalker, and Snake-Eyes were obviously old enough. And I kind of assumed (maybe innaccurately) that Stalker and Snake-Eyes were in Nam towards the end, in like 73 or 74, and that they were like 19 at the time. Maybe Rock N Roll was old enough. But the rest of the guys and Scarlett seem too young to me. Steeler was only a 2nd Lt. so he was probably 22 or 23 in 1982. But this brings up an interesting question. Has anybody ever tried to guess at the ages of the Joes. I mean before they were retconned. I know Duke's original filecard says he enlisted in 1967. If we assume he was 18 or 19, that would make him about 34 or 35 when he joined the Joes. Since he's probably one of the older memebrs of the team, can we kind of extrapolate rough ages for the rest? Do we care? Last edited by lister; 01-08-2009 at 12:04 PM.. |
