Hawk - The '82 Hawk came with the MMS which was the Hawk Missile System.
Duke - John Wayne Flint - I think he was named for Flint Dille who wrote for Sunbow, but flint is also a type of rock. Spirit - He was a tracker and could move through the jungle without making a sound, like a spirit. Falcon - Falcon always catches his prey! BTW, was Steeler's name a double meaning? One, he was manning a giant piece of steel (a tank, the MOBAT). And two, he was from Pittsburgh, PA (home of the NFL's Steelers).

I often wondered if Mace started out as a new version of Chuckles and they just decided to change the name. That was what i thought too. Last edited by miscreant; 04-23-2009 at 03:35 PM.. |

And as been said, I kinda figured they with Jaye as in "J" or "Joe"... because well, Lady Joe probably wouldn't go over so well. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 04-23-2009 at 04:24 PM.. |

"Hey, Tim, what are we calling this commando again? What? No, we changed his color scheme, he's all black now instead of Blue and Green... Wait, that's the name we're going with? Someone better clear that with HR." |

Technically, both Steeler and the Steelers are named after the people that worked in Pittsburgh back in the day when it made all the steel for the US. Those workers were called Steelers. Yeah, knew Hawk was after the missile system, but it was always kind of funny cause that system was never used and the Joe leader manned a piece anti-aircraft weaponry? Always kind of weird.

Although that figure carded would be worth more than my annual income! I'm no craps expert, but I always thought it had to do with rolling "Snake-eyes. Doesn't that pretty much mean you "crapped out?" Given that he served and was injured in nam, got spat on when he returned, only to find out that his family and kid sister had been killed en route to the airport, had his sensei get killed because they thought it was him, best friend turns traitor, and gets his face blown off in a chopper accident during a mission. Yeah he rolled a lifetime worth of "Snake-Eyes" |

Someone said something about a Lady Jaye being a wilderness weapon used for hunting birds, awhile ago on this board.
