I noticed the nano-thing and it is annoying, but here's the reasoning...
The movie is about the Joes stopping Cobra/MARS from using the nanomites to create destruction. We know that these figures don't appear in the movie. What if the nano-stuff on the back of the cards is Hasbro's lame way of saying what these guys were up to during the movie. So these guys are part of the Joe and Cobra teams, but they're off doing other things (Tunnel Rat stopping Monkeywrench, etc..) well the main guys are doing their thing in the movie. I know. It's stupid. But thats the thought process I think.

The Joes are the same way. They all have the same preferred weapon but come with different things.
They aren't doubling as Resolute. That Gung-Ho is the movie Gung-Ho, or technically how he appears in the video game as he actually doesn't make an appearance in the movie itself. Tunnel Rat is repainted to be a homage to Night Force Tunnel Rat, and doesn't appear in the movie. They aren't Resolute, anymore then the comic packs that were packaged as Resolute weren't Resolute. They're "expanded universe" to increase the size of the movie line. These are RoC figures. In any case, doesn't that RoC Gung-Ho figure look pretty much like he does in the Resolute cartoon on Cartoon Network. Regardless of what the packaging says, I'd call that Gung-Ho a Resolute based on the cartoon. I say it's a mixed bag as far as what the sculpts actually represent be it expanded universe, Resolute comic, Resolute cartoon, RoC, 25th Anniversary, vs what the package says it is. |

Ok, I can understand you line of thinking, the "Resolute" Tunnel Rat in the comic pack doesn't really look like what he did in the Resolute cartoon. But aren't the comic pack figures supposed to reflect how they are drawn in the comic that comes with the figures? So, there is a disconnect with comic Resolute and cartoon Resolute. I don't follow the comics, so I'm not sure if that comic book in the comic pack is even really Resolute. Maybe it's just an expanded universe story that they decided to slap a Resolute banner on the front cover.
In any case, doesn't that RoC Gung-Ho figure look pretty much like he does in the Resolute cartoon on Cartoon Network. Regardless of what the packaging says, I'd call that Gung-Ho a Resolute based on the cartoon. I say it's a mixed bag as far as what the sculpts actually represent be it expanded universe, Resolute comic, Resolute cartoon, RoC, 25th Anniversary, vs what the package says it is. The comic isn't in the Resolute universe. It's just a stand-alone non-universe comic. They just put it in Resolute packaging. The Gung-Ho is more like the RoC version shown in the Video Game. It's about 80% similar to Resolute, so the figure does work for a Resolute Gung-Ho. Hasbro could have gone and said "the old designs are over" and just made pure RoC versions of everyone, but they're giving us older fans some of the classic look characters and some new repaints for RoC. It's just all in RoC packaging to tie it all together and get the droves (hopefully) of kids that buy the RoC toys to get into the other figures as well.
