I just realized Speed Metal is a vehicle driver named Sherman Guderian. Ha.
Sherman = Civil War General, later M4 medium tank Guderian = German General, revolutionized armored warfare |

I get using Sherman's name. I find it ironic that they used Guderian. He was, after all, the enemy back in the Second World War. It would have been intriguingly daring had they used the name of one of the great Soviet (allied) tank commanders - Zhukov, Krivoshein, Timoshenko . . . |

Huh. Same name as Heavy Metal (https://www.yojoe.com/action/85/heavymetal.shtml) and Rampage (https://www.yojoe.com/action/89/rampage.shtml).

Why not just Patton Sherman? A little too on the nose?

Sub-Zero's file card says he performed combat tactics in "Europe's Operation Chill." Is this real? I couldn't find anything on it.

I gave it a cursory look and found out about Free Slurpee day at 7-11.
There was an Operation Cold Winter in 1987 in Norway which sounds like a close approximation? https://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/29/w...rn-norway.html
