Who knows Ghost Squad Exists other than the members of Ghost Squad?
General Hawk Duke General Colton Keel Haul Payload Claymore Sure Fire Falcon and the other members of Night Force Some of the Intelligence Operatives (Like Chuckles and Lady Jaye) and some of the operatives who are sent on solo missions (like Snake-Eyes) because they may have to coordinate with Ghost Squad from time to time. |

That's awesome that you use all four characters in your Joeverse. That's my favorite show of all time.
I use Commander Magnum as my Chief of Naval Special Warfare - he's the head SEAL, so to speak. He works for General Colton in G-SOC (G.I. Joe Special Operations Command), and is in charge of all Naval/Marine Corps Special Operations. I know what you mean about painting. It scares me. I want my customs to look good.

I should mention that I do use Action Force Spirit and Action Force Mutt with Night Force. They just fit right in. I also use Tiger Claw with Tiger Force, and the orange, Brazilian version of Recoil (who has a different name in Brazil, but the same mold) as Tiger Force Recoil.

So I watched Transformers:RoTF last night. Contrary to popular opinion around the 'Tank, I liked the movie. There's alot I could have done without (the twin robots, Sam's roommate, Timmons overacting, Sam's parents overacting) but I liked it.
Anyways, something that occured in it got me thinking... The way they show the NEST unit (the human military) made me think, and how it's deployed at the last battle in the end. It's similar to how I've always wanted my Joe team set up. You have the forward unit, the ground pounders (Rangers/Marines) HALO drop in and start the mission. When/if it gets hairy, then the heavy units are brought in. And you have a hi-tech computer command center over seeing the whole thing.

I really liked ROTF, never been a big Transformers fan so any continuity errors would have been lost on me. I loved the NEST concept and they did a good job presenting them onscreen. If I collected Transformers and they existed in my 'verse then I'd definitely be folding them in.
Apparently, the commander in the first film was Colonel Sharpe and was supposed to be a homage to the Sharpe from the Sunbow cartoon. Why? I have no idea but a bit of useless trivia for you |

I need to update that. Got the first couple stand alone issues of the Red Circle stuff, got to read them.
I don't have Transformers, no money to get 'em and Joe, but I love the way NEST deployed. Forward direct action element and then could call in Air Support, Airstrikes and Armor elements as needed. That's how I want my Joe team to operate.

I got to watch TF. I never collected them either. Straight joes for me. The NEST sounds like a cool concept and probably much like how i envision my team operating. My Loose Cannon Figure is a FAC so that sounds like it fits right in.

What about Sgt Marauders Oliver? (The only subteam I don't own any of)
Do you add the other Airborne troops to Sky Patrol Oliver? Like Ripcord and Free Fall, Star Duster. And if Wild Bill is commander of the Helicopter Squads what about Updraft and Windmill? I took my Tundra Stalker Head and use that for Hollingsworth, who also happens to command the Arctic Troops, at the Arctic Research base. |

I'm going to do like Tyroc and make some more Arctic guys. I have 2 opened Rockslides and 1 unopened.
Currently I have the Rockslides displayed on the shelves with the figures getting out and have Snow Job and Arctic SE with them. BTW, Arctic SE is a great figure.
