Joe intergator would be Psyche Out and Rook. They'd be the main guys with Chuckles, Lady Jaye and Bullhorn as secondary.

I've finally come up with a working methodology for bringing the Vipers and Blueshirts together.
For the most part, the Blueshirts are the Army, well Vipers are the Special Forces. Some of the figures won't exist in my Joeverse (either because I don't like them; Heat-Vipers, Frag-Vipers; or because there's no place for them). The TRU Nightwatch figures, for example, are not blueshirts but the "off-duty" (off-mission) outfits for the Night-Vipers. The standard Blueshirt is the Viper's "off-duty" outfit. The Bazooka Trooper is my default infantry figure. |

while I've always liked them I've always found an issue with those same Weapons specific infantry unit Vipers. SAW, FRAG and HEAT. Although together with an Incinerator or Shock-Viper they would make a pretty good Heavy Weapons team. Maybe a FLAK viper as well?
So out of the 40 Viper types which ones are you using or not using? Viper Tele-Viper Strato-Viper Air-Viper Air-Viper Advanced Class Motor-Viper Techno-Viper Ice-Viper Astro-Viper Secto-Viper Hydro-Viper Night-Viper Star-Viper Toxo-Viper Gyro-Viper Alley-Viper FRAG-Viper HEAT-Viper Aero-Viper Track-Viper Laser-Viper Range-Viper Rock-Viper SAW-Viper Sludge-Vipers FLAK-Viper Heli-Viper Ninja-Viper Mega-Viper Cyber-Viper MONSTRO and BIO just don't count Nitro-Viper (Never had a filecard) Shadow-Viper(boo) Sub-Viper Fastback-Viper Shock-Viper Neo-Viper Swamp=Viper Sand-Vipers Pit-Vipers Medi-Vipers Jungle-Vipers Para-Viper Nano-Viper Elite-Viper Desert-Viper Aqua-Viper Officer Terra-Viper volcano-Viper Hazard-Viper Zombie-Viper Not to mention some of the non-Viper named units: HISS drivers Stinger Drivers Snow-Serpents Eels Lampreys Sea-Slug Imcinerators Desert Scorpions Night-Vultures Air-Devils CLAWS Morays Cobra Coils (Bikers) Sand-Scorpions Razor-Troopers Snow-Wolf Swamp-Rats Night-Stalkers Cobra Air Troopers (WOs that pilot Jet packs and light aircraft) Cobra Paratrooper (I only have one But I could see them having such a unit on top of the Para-Vipers) Cobra-Driver(Night watch looking HISS driver) ( I use this guy as my senior unnamed Cobra Officer) Cobra pilot (I use them as Air troopers) Cobra Vehicle Gunner (I use him as Cobra Command Sgt Major since he's gray) Cobra Shock Trooper What about these guys? Troopers or individuals? Decimator Vapor Who did I miss? I loved Darkhawks take on the units and how they progressed, I just don't have a link at the moment.

An Air-Viper, which is the trooper with mask, won't be called an air-viper. That would just be the gear a blueshirt has when jumping out of a plan or using jetpack or whatever. It's not a seperate unit.
A lot of 'em will end up like that. The figure will be just a different load out for the basic blueshirt or viper. Sea-Slug is going to be a unique character, same with Night Vulture, Decimator, Vapor. Skycreeper is a Para-Viper leader. Sea-Slug will be a Lamprey commander. Night Vulture will be another Para-Viper. Any of the RoC designs will be a seperate group, just not sure where they'll fall yet. Could eventually be the Coil, but not sure if won't use 'em as Viktor Khalikhan (from IDW)'s Noori Syndicate. Snow Serpents, Eels, Desert Scorpions are part of the Viper corps. Eventually, if have time and get it developed as far as would want, it'll all be laid out in a sourcebook. My new fan fiction, once start publishing it, I want to include sourcebook sections, as well as do up a model for Fort Baxter/The Pit. |

I could see there being different qualifications/badges one could obtain as a Cobra Trooper that would then help in moving into one of the more elite/more specialised branches. Quote:
I've always seen the Eels as being pretty elite, see this storyline from the UK Marvel run: COILS OF THE SERPENT Last edited by lardman; 01-08-2013 at 05:38 PM.. Reason: backslash, not forwards, doh! |

I was told to post here about filecards and who reads them and cares about back story? as in collector guides it talks about the character and not the toy and its variants,accessories,etc..
just seems odd to a toy collector |

TBH I'm not a collector because of anything but my continuing (formerly childhood) love for the whole shebang: comic/filecards/backstory as well as the figures. |

I am wonering if Mr. Hama got his idea for Destro from reading the book The Man in the Iron Mask? I am wondering if the Director of the G.I.Joe movie got the idea for Destro`s mask from the Fantastic 4 villian Doom?
