Would Hit & Run (by virtue of his gear) be part of the 10th Mountain?

Yeah it just showed up! Awesome! I wonder who the Psycho is?
If not every soldier can get into Ranger school, maybe Joe training is a great alternative. Just more dangerous. Sgt. Slaughter just whips them into shape, and with all the instructors in the Joes those are some good activities for them during down time. Sounds like the Joes need guys that are good at recruiting exceptional troops. How else do we explain Ambush. That E-3 has bothered all of us. Maybe some of the joes wash out, but when they do they die. i.e. Mangler, CoolBreeze. Hey who are all the trainers the joes have? |

Sgt. Slaughter, the Fridge, Grid-Iron and Rocky Balboa. Just kidding. Slaughter. Grid-Iron is listed as a physical training instructor, but we don't use him for that (none of us do). Beachhead, Leatherneck, Recondo have all spent time as trainers in their respective schools, so they probably do some of the Joe training. But yeah, how do the Joes "scout" new recruits? Are the recruits sponsored by their NCOs and COs in the normal branches and then get tapped into the Joe training program?

Sub-Zero - CO
Snow Job Whiteout (isn't that the Snow Job repaint?) Windchill Frostbite Iceberg Blizzard - NCO (isn't he pretty high ranked, so he'd be 2nd?) Avalanche That's the permenant team, with members added on a per-mission basis. Throw Tundra Stalker, Arctic Snake-Eyes and Arctic Scarlett (when she comes out) and got a pretty good team. Who's medic, communications? Iceberg is heavy weapons. |

Sir, congratulations. You've just hit on one of my favorite gripes on the entire forum. I've literally written pages on this very subject: Characters with awesome qualifications whose costumes really sucked. Tracker's costume forced me to take matters into my own hands. I found a Midnight run edition of Night Force Tracker on ebay and I won it. He's the pride of my collection.
Also, I use a Street Fighter Movie figure (Navy SEAL Guile - Variant edition) and swapped the heads with a Tracker head to give him a dive suit. I used that suit specifically because it's the same mold as v2 Wet-Suit, but it's painted completely differently, and I wanted some degree of difference. This same problem with awesome characters having lousy costumes (and I say "costumes" as opposed to "uniforms") is what prompted me to create my custom versions of Claymore, Super Trooper, Rapid Fire, and Grid-Iron. They are all great characters, but their "costumes" were jokes. I'm currently working on a customized/militarized Joe Colton... I think it's going to turn out well. The TRU Yellow Torpedo is a really cool figure. I'll probably use him as the unproduced Tiger Force Torpedo since I already have a custom Tracker. |

Quick Kick will never look less ridiculous.
What's the point of Quick Kick? What's his military training? He's not a ninja, so having Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx and Kamakura on the team makes him irrelevant. He's going to charge Cobra's lines with "silent" weapons? Dress him in all black. Throw on some accessories, like a climbing harness and such. Now you have a character that could work. He's not a frontliner, but he'd be an intell/recon kind of guy. |

When I saw the unmasked Storm Shadow from the movie line, I thought of Quick Kick - might make a good alternative version of him.
