DROP ZONE
Trotskyite needs 0 votes.

NEW REVISED RULES
1) VOTES: Vote for one character in the poll. In case of a tie, winners will be listed alphabetically.

2) NOMINATIONS: Post 3 nominations per poll, only one per character. Characters with the most nominations will replace those who win or drop from the poll.

3) ELIGIBILTY: To be eligible, characters must meet the following criteria below:

a. With notable exceptions, characters must have originated in officially licensed G.I. Joe media, including domestic or international toy lines, animation, comic books, file cards, films, novels, short stories, or digital books from Kindle Worlds.

b. Characters that are not human or humanoid are ineligible. Some ineligible examples include protoplasmic blobs, synthoids in non-human form, man-eating flytraps and other plants, Timber, Junkyard, Polly and other animals.

c. Multiple versions of an original character are ineligible, such as Tiger Force Duke, ROC Rip Cord, Renegades Tunnel Rat, Viper (v4), etc. However, some versions of troopers, though similar, will be considered as separate characters, such as officers or leaders (Crimson Guard Squad Leader), troopers from different units (Python Patrol), improved or enhanced troopers (BAT II-V), and troopers with particular distinctions (Viper Guard).

d. Characters that have appeared in G.I. Joe media but originated in Transformers, MASK, Street Fighter, Indiana Jones and other brands—regardless of any affiliation with G.I. Joe characters within their respective universes—are ineligible with a few notable exceptions:

Sgt. Slaughter left the WWF to become a G.I. Joe and became virtually synonymous with the brand. Roddy Piper followed a similar path in becoming an Iron Grenadier and is thus eligible. Characters—such as Advanced Stealth B.A.T.—that did not originate outside of G.I. Joe but were created within a G.I. Joe crossover series are also eligible.

e. Characters based on unproduced prototypes, unlicensed customs, unpublished sketches or narratives, and published retractions are ineligible. Some examples are Chef, Timbit and other pre-2009 Canadian Convention figures, Dorman’s Dreadnok, Scar Head, and Rocky Balboa.

f. Characters from parallel or alternate universes resembling original characters are ineligible, such as the Baroness from “World’s Without End” and Xamot from “Shattered Glass.”

g. Characters with the same given names as original characters will be assumed to be one and the same and are ineligible unless there is substantial evidence to indicate that the given names are coincidental. Some examples are Air Raid (F. Talltree), Rampage (S. Guderian), Benchpress (C. McConnel), and Speed Metal (S. Guderian).

h. Characters that share the same code name as original characters will also be assumed to be one and the same and are ineligible unless there is substantial evidence to indicate that the code names are coincidental. Some examples are Breaker (A. Shaz), Heavy Duty (H. Dalton), Rollbar (R. Williston), and Ice Storm (N. Ligotke).

Eligible exceptions include Rampage (J. Remington), Inferno (S. Brownson), and Metalhead (M. Hurley).

4) DROPOUTS: The Drop Zone is a warning that indicates a character’s 10th poll and every 10th poll thereafter. Any character in the poll that averages less than 5% of all votes over his or her past ten polls will drop back into the nomination list within a given percentage of the highest nominee’s nominations. See table below.
If < 5% but > 4%, then 90%.
If < 4% but > 3%, then 80%.
If < 3% but > 2%, then 70%.
If < 2% but > 1%, then 60%.
If < 1% but > 0%, then 50%.

5) THREAD ETIQUETTE: To prevent thread derailment, please refrain from lengthy debates or inflammatory remarks. Posting a question or brief remark about eligibility is acceptable and even encouraged, but repeated arguments and complaints are unproductive and may be posted here: "The Greatest G.I. Joe Character of all Time" Survey.

The con page says Smasher was inspired by Mr C, it doesn't specify if it's actually him. I say let him keep accumulating noms until we see his file card.

Every single figure the club announces, they follow it up with the phrase "inspired by" to refer to the figure they're remaking. Cases in point below... So we're just letting people waste nominations here that will never get used. "Inspired by" in the club's lingo means the figure IS the modern version of that character.

G.I. JOE MOBILE MISSILE SPECIALIST
Code Name: FAST DRAW
(Inspired by the 1987 action figure.)

G.I. JOE INFANTRY OFFICER
Code Name: CAPTAIN GRID-IRON
(Inspired by the 1990 action figure.)

G.I. JOE DEFIANT SHUTTLE PILOT
Code Name: PAYLOAD
(Inspired by the 1987 action figure.)

G.I. JOE BATTLE CORPS COMMANDER
Code Name: BULLET-PROOF
(Inspired by the 1992 action figure.)

G.I. JOE ARCTIC ATTACK SOLDIER
Code Name: GREG "BLIZZARD" NATALE
(Inspired by the 1988 action figure.)

G.I. JOE NINJA COMMANDO
Code Name: BUSHIDO
(Inspired by the 1993 action figure.)

G.I. JOE L.R.R.P. TROOPER
Code Name: RECOIL
(Inspired by the 1989 action figure.)

COBRA B.A.T. LEADER
Code Name: OVER KILL
(Inspired by the 2003 version 2 action figure.)

COBRA MERCENARY
Code Name: MUNITIA
(Inspired by the 2008 DTC: GIJCC action figure.)

G.I. JOE V.A.M.P. DRIVER
Code Name: LANCE "CLUTCH" STEINBERG
(Inspired by the 1984 version 2 action figure.)

RED SHADOWS WEAPONS TECHNICIAN
Code Name: RED LASER
(Inspired by the European exclusive action figure.)

COBRA SHOCK TROOPS COMMANDER
Code Name: LT. CLAY MOORE
(Inspired by the Sunbow cartoon & 2007 GIJCC design.)
