YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Dee-Jay
Wow, Dee Jay has to be the most non-military Joe there is. He goes from being a DJ (wow, great thinking on the code name) to being in BF2000. His PMS is Radio Telephone Operator His SMS is Infantry (all the way) Seriously, that's what it says...

I think they had to tone down the Dreadnoks for the comic and they made these scary guys(who were prob the most realistic looking figures, we have all seen a biker) comically inept. About the figures, I think they were meant as a 3 pack and they decided aginst it? Zartan is the perfect leader for them IMO, The strong leading the weak

Knockdown could qualify as a sharpshooter, anybody that can shoot skeet with a bolt-action should, lol.
Both Knockdown and Blaster are microwave techs as SMS. Both Knockdown and Blocker worked at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds (is that a real place). I'm thinking the BF2000 guys belong in the Joe R&D squad with Matt Trakker. I just drove past Aberdeen on the way home from Delaware on Monday. And my wife asked me what it was. I immediately thought of Hawk even though he is never referenced as being there. I always saw Gears as the R & D head guy for the joes. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Gears Although so many of them have electronics backgrounds or are electrical engineers. But Gears is an Officer and that's his job. I consider Matt Trakker to be a 0-4 equivalent though. I recently won this auction and although he was suppose to be a MASK guy, I just got my new 25th Gears figure.

Wow, that Gears is a sad looking figure and filecard, wow...
Yeah, that custom works for Gears. So R&D is Gears, Trakker, BF2000 and are stationed at Aberdeen?

I still don't see Zartan as the natural pick to lead 'em. They could have revised Copperhead and made him the leader, his background as a swamp racer/smuggler would fit better then Zartan.

So are there some Joes and/or Cobras that you just "ignore"?
For me it would be the Neo-Vipers, CLAWS, and the "venomized" ones. I didn't get the toys, they weren't in "my" comics (the marvel ones) and I just don't really see a place for 'em. They're some of those redundant units. I like the Cobras with the blueshirts and vipers, and the CGs operating independently. All the ninjas don't exist in my joeverse either (just Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, the Red Ninjas and Ninja-Vipers who are Cobras attempt at creating their own homegrown. Nightcreepers are there as well.) i have decided that for my cobras there will be only v1 vipers(infantry), cg(i haven't assigned them a role but i really like them, probly use them similar to oliverbox) & eels(seals). i'm also allowing myself night watch(spec ops) & blue shirts(support). I dont really have an air wing other than some fangs which are piloted by gas mask troopers(blue shirts). in my joeverse destro only has v1 ig & undertow and they are most likely going to be on the MARS freighter i want to build. I had thought about doing a cobra island & an island with castle destro but again expense and space are an issue. no ninjas either! i can remember the ninja craze as a kid and i believe that "ninja burnout" led to the decline in popularity of joe all around |
