I see now how Barricade v3 (anti-venom task force) is listed as Armored vehicle driver. I put away my FSS Barricade. What is his SMS?

For indirect fire I was torn between rockets or tube artillery. There's no ATACMS equivalent, but I figured the Thunderclap is similar to an Atomic Annie, and a 280mm shell with modern guidance systems (like Copperhead or Excalibur) would have a similar (if shorter range) effect to an ATACMS rocket. His SMS is driver in all 3 versions. For 1 & 2 he's a Badger driver, and for 3 he's an armored vehicle driver. His primary is always bunker busting. |

There's always the Brawler. It has two Surface to air missiles.

aWhat about the Warthog AIFV? Those missiles have an ATACMS feel to them. Sure, it looks like a squashed AAV, but this is GI Joe.

I decided to put Barricade on my Special Reaction Team as the breacher. His bio seems to fit that role fairly well.

There are two facts from the file cards that initially caused me to pause, and think. 1) I remember reading on at least one file card, for one of the many Cobra pilots, that the candidates were chosen from the best Air Vipers. Now, I will admit that I did not read a lot of the G.I. Joe comics as a child, and I have yet to read them all as an adult, but I did not remember seeing this character depicted in the comics, nor did I remember seeing this character depicted in the cartoon series. I always wondered where is this Air Viper that the file cards refer to. However, in 2003 the Air Viper was introduced to the toy line. 2) I always laughed at the fact that Rip It candidates were required to learn the game of golf as part of their training.

I assumed the unnamed Rattler pilots seen in several issues to be Air-Vipers, even if they weren't named.

I will have to thumb through some of my G.I. Joe comics, and take a look at the Cobra Rattler pilots as I can not remember what they look like. However, I always thought the non-named Rattler pilots in the cartoon were generic Cobra soldiers, or Cobra Officers.

Lady Jaye in a stolen Rattler pilot uniform from the cartoon.

Well, there it is. I have no memory of ever seeing that uniform before. I guess that the Cobra Rattler pilots could very well be the Air Vipers.
