huh, I'd forgotten about Spirit having an Intelligence Profile, because it was in one of the specials I never got.

Ok, switching gears to medics (and not the Stalker/Falcon secondary qual guys, and I'm not going to resurrect the Doc/Lifeline discussions. I can square that circle on my own). But moving to later Joes - what's up with Stretcher (Stretcher (v1) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive) and Sideswipe (http://www.yojoe.com/action/02/sideswipe.shtml)? Both were weightlifting medics with "troop transportation" as secondary quals, and both came with the exact same accessories - including some kind of sled with a windshield. WTF was that supposed to be?! Is this just an example of Hasbro laziness, an attempt to capitalise on the terrible "Ski Patrol" movie, or am I missing something?

I don't have any links, I'm just going off of memory, but I thought I've seen stretchers with face shields being used in real life before. MASH maybe? Maybe these face shields are meant to prevent blowing snow from hitting the guy's face when he gets picked up by a chopper.

I don't know anything about Ski Patrol but I can see the filecard writers being totally lazy uninspired. Especially those lean years 1998-2002

Did you guys see the post quoting the new brand manager Mark Weber? I'm not holding my breath but I found it interesting his two priorities are easier army building (awesome!) and the Filecards to be brilliant. I am cautiously optimistic.

I've been working at translating more of the Brazilian filecards and I tell you, there's some crazy stuff in them.
*Lowlight is named Midnight and a sniper who was frightened of the dark until a power-cut as child led to him having to get used to it. *Marauders Lowlight is named 'Target' or 'Aim' and is a sniper who was afraid of the dark until he got lost on a hunting trip with his dad for 3 days and he can shoot flies out of the air. *Storm Shadow v1 is named Naja and is a Cobra ninja who likes ambushing enemies in the snow. *Storm Shadow V2 is a Comandos em Acao ninja called White Dragon and he scares the Cobras appearing out of the dark. *PP Copperhead is called 'Swamp' or 'Marsh' and had pet alligators as a kid and turned a croc into shoes. *Iceberg V2 is a Cobra called 'Swamp' or 'Marsh' the same, but is an ex-butcher who loves getting dirty! *Blizzard is a Cobra who attacked an Antarctic base and drives the Cobra WOLF which is called the Abominable Snow! *TF Duke is Tiger Force intelligence officer and was a child genius with an IQ of 520 who rewrote history books by changing strategies to let other generals win! *PP Crimson Guard is a single character called 'Showdown' who loved hiding and jumping out to scare people as a child! |
