That's a very fair point. And there are plenty of good characters left... I suppose I just think that Low-Light should have been given priority over Mainframe, Alpine, Quick-Kick, Bazooka, and Bar-B-Que. That fact that we're getting Recondo, Chuckles, Outback and Rip Cord in the 7 pack is fantastic... I would have preferred Low-Light over Zap. He's pretty awesome.

Me too - however, the fans of the original 13 are legion and very outspoken. I think we might have had riots if they didn't all appear in some form or another prior to the movie.

How about:
How would you describe the organization of GI Joe as a military unit and what was the rationale behind its chain of command and ranking system? For instance, was it intended to resemble an actual military structure as seen in Special Forces Groups and who would make up its headquarters and support staff? Did you envision a "greenshirt" component to G.I. Joe like DDP added in. How did you work around the support staff issue? Can add "who determined the rank on the filecards as some Joes are higher rank then others but weren't shown in the command structure."

The WORMS filecard makes reference to the fact that these vehicles need more then 1 person. A Maggot is crewed by 4 people but able to function with only 2. The card mentions mechanic, driver, gunner and loader.

This, just like it's worded. I don't think we want to ask about the actual ranking of his universe because beyond Hawk it was pretty open to whoever was on the mission. I added some stuff and it's in italics.
Can add "who determined the rank on the filecards as some Joes are higher rank then others but weren't shown in the command structure." I'm trying to remember what issue it was when all the original Joes get promotions and I guess are relegated to desk Training positions. I was trying to find that issue and I know it had to be around the time Hawk becomes general around #46 or so. I'm curious why Larry did that, was he planning on expanding the team to a larger level or just to prove the worth of the Joes. I thought they all got promotions, which I remember thinking was cool, but none of the figures that started to get remade ever had there promotions until Tiger Force Flint and Tundra Ranger Stalker; Snake-Eyes V3, and Deep-Six V2. I don't know if he wrote those cards or not. I think we need to find out when Larry stopped writing cards and who was writing them afterwards. Because by the time we get to the Collector's years(94-2001) They had some fan writing those I believe. Thomas Wheeler maybe. |

I always figured the promotions were to get the original 13 "out of the way" and make room for stories involving the newer guys (Rock 'n Roll gets replaced by Roadblock).
I remember Hawk giving the promotions and those Joes being relegated to desk jobs. It didn't last long though.

Hey I have been a fan since they first came out and would have rather had a Low light first instead of Zap as I was never a big fan of his! Low light on the other hand is one of the coolest figures from his release and we need a updated version to go with the 25th line!!
