Yeah I hear you. Imagine how much cooler it would have been if Snake-Eyes team were just Commandos instead of Ninja Force. Maybe a few would die along the way but get replaced. Like if you swapped out Dojo, T'Jbang, and Nunchuk with more operator types who would you pick?
Shockwave, Wreckage, Night-Fox for example.

When I think of a good urban well-rounded close-quarters commando team, I think of Snake-Eyes, Shockwave, Low-Light, Wide Scope, Bullhorn, Long-Arm, and Law. Night Fox, Wreckage and Beachhead would make good shooters as well--got to love the balaclava Joes.
When I was younger I was always drawn to the more militaristic looking Joes. I think my main field team typically consisted of Falcon, Flint, Leatherneck, Beachhead, Tunnelrat, HitnRun, Stalker, Footloose, and Recondo. Outback somehow always ended up operating solo on missions where he was pressed to rely on his survival skills. Alpine too. Later Repeater, Recoil and Muskrat joined the fray, though Repeater's tan uniform made him stand out from the lot. Dusty I loved as well but he didn't fit in with the non-desert camo clad characters. Spearhead was too peachy for the main team but paired better with Dusty. Blizzard, Snow Job, Iceberg and Frostbite were a tight cold weather mountain unit. Funny how I liked to match teammates based more on their colors than specialties. I always wanted a solid desert unit and Airborne and Ambush seemed more suited for that role.

Speaking of which, why is Skidmark, the driver of the Desert Fox, wearing a sweater? I could never understand that when I was young. |

I never liked Ambush for a desert role, because he was too covered up, like he was prepared for cold weather. I always used him in rocky, mountain settings, along with Alpine.

There are cold temperate deserts. Most of the deserts of the US are cold deserts. They can get very hot in the summers but are cool at night and can get very cold in winter, even during the day. High elevation deserts may even have snowfall in June!
