Ah, Zuludelta, you never cease to amaze me. Great job on Lifeline. You kept the basic look but made him much more realistic. Even his education matches up with that of real PJs and EMTs. Whose head did you use? It looks like either Quentin Tarrantino or Ashton Kutcher.

Updated my take on Zap and Rock 'n' Roll (two characters who were pretty much brushed aside once Bazooka and Roadblock were introduced to "replace" them... not so much in the comics, but they all but disappeared in the cartoons, not that they were prominent in the first place).
Their updated filecards have been added to the filecard album in my Photobucket account (the link is in my signature). I've been trying to update the old "SAS commando sweater" uniform that the original 13 GI Joes wore (with the exception of Scarlett, who, for reasons only she knows, decided to wear a one-piece bikini to battle). You'll notice that the recently updated images of Hawk, Stalker, and Snake-Eyes also sport the knitted look, and I'll shift to that look when I update Steeler and Short-Fuze as well.

Zap has a face! I really like this one and Lifeline. I appreciate how you mute the reds down into a brown/burgandy. It was one of the things that drove me batty when I was doing designs for Ultimate GIJoe a few years back. Also very cool is your introduction of "the sweater" to the original thirteen. A well deserved nod. You might consider varying the color of the sweaters to match the different tones of green on the original figures (as further tribute to their origins and to mix the their looks up a bit more).
As for Rock n Roll, I think I would have just preferred his old design with the new shirt (although with the sleeves rolled up--RnR has to show some part of his other guns, IMO). The black headscarf matched up better since the other uniform had more black in it. What prompted the decision to move away from the SAW (I have no problem with this choice, honestly)?

Good point about the rolled up sleeves, I'll need to work on that. |

Howdy fellas,
Just got back from my Honeymoon. Glad to see the thread is still alive and well. I had no doubts. Can't wait to catch up... though it may take some time. Anything big I missed? Any really important announcements from Hasbro I should know about?

Nine years would have to be the absolute minimum, though, even if she gets all her credits in shape. She'd need a minimum of 4 years of service and be an E-5(P) to qualify for Warrant Officer Candidate School, a minimum of 2 years tenure as a W-1 to qualify for a promotion to W-2, and a minimum tenure of 3 years as a W-2 to be eligible for W-3. Oh, and somewhere in there she'd need to have earned an associate's degree from an accredited educational institution, preferably in a relevant field.
I'm thinking of doing the same with Chuckles. I've always seen him depicted as their top investigator, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to see him bumped up into the warrant officer ranks. I think that makes a lot of sense. I always saw Chuckles as being an Officer really, from another government agency entirely. I never gave him a bump in my verse though. Scarlet for sure has grown into more of a leader than anyone else IMO. DDp had her as a E-8. She's never made higher than E-6 on a filecard. Even LadyJaye made E-7 on the filecards. I think Scarlet should be the highest ranked female in the Joes. W-3 makes a lotof sense. I think the Joes should be full of Warrant officers really as they tend to have the most expertise in their fields. She may go as High as a Major in my verse. I need to think about it. |

Zulu, Zap looks perfect now. And Lifeline is a thing of Beauty. That is what he should be. Not a pacifist. Jeez that was lame in my opinion. No offense to anyone who thinks otherwise, but he came with a Gun?! The one small detail I would add to your filecard for Lifeline, it to make him a Blackblack in Judo. There is the memorable Special Missions moment when he kicks Horrorshow's tail using only his Judo moves. I think the October guard gets wiped out in the next issue too.

Congrats!
Yeah, a lot of them probably are Warrant Officer or Limited Duty Officer material. Mainframe for instance. |
