So I'm going thru my figures and realized that any scene I want to do up is going to be mostly the Joe leaders (Hawk, Duke, Flint) and specialists (bazooka, roadblock) or the down 'n dirty guys (Falcon, Snake Eyes, Stalker, Beach Head).
There are no straight infantry troopers in the 25th line. There's some greenshirts and that god-awful Grunt in the SRO 3-pack. But that Grunt is UGLY and what if I don't want greenshirts?? There's Gung-Ho and uhm... uh... yeah.... Where's Footloose, a better Grunt, Big Ben (british down 'n dirty I guess), Spearhead (pointman, but still an infantry soldier). Can use Spirit, I guess, but he just doesn't say "infantry soldier". Come to think of it, there really isn't that many infantry troopers in the Joe team, it's comprised mostly of specialists. Well, greenshirts it is I guess...

The whole point of the JOE team was to assemble the best of the best, that's why they are all mostly specialists. If they were regular infantry, they'd be in the regular armed forces, not a SPECIAL mission force.

yep. Also I don't see the Joe team as an invasion force or anything like that. They have small man groups who go on a mission, kick ass and get out.

Agreed. We need more infantry. We have way too many specialists and leaders in our groups.
Footloose comes to mind. As far as Bug Weapons go, we need a Salvo for that job. |

In the Joe-verse those are the guys that lay down the covering fire so the sneaky guys (rangers, commandos, etc..) can go in and do there thing. Could use some more frontline Joes to complement the covering troops, guys like Footloose and Grunt.
