Ripcord and Roadblock as we knew and loved them are officially dead. So The Altitude of old will probably die too. He could still be Wallace Weems, but they'll probably keep Altitudes filecard entirely so we'll be scratching our heads. "How can SPC Altitude be a Sgt Maj?" I'm not sure many Apache are redheads either but I'll guess very few if any. |

I use Airborne, Rip Cord, and Free Fall as my Regular Army Airborne recon Unit. Paratrooper Flint leads the Team. These guys act as the link in the field between Sky Patrol and the main Army, or they can act as sort of the "JV" sky patrol for the Regular Joe Army if they have to act independently. This is way off topic, but has anyone heard from Tall Creeper lately?

On a related note, Hasbro says they can't make a classic Ripcord or Cover Girl because it would cause confusion with the movie line. But they're not worried about making Duke, Snake Eyes, Hawk, Cobra Commander, Baroness, Storm Shadow, Destro, and Scarlett. |

Recondo was in the bush so long he missed the Internet. The Tucaros finally got an old IBM set up with a network card and Recondo sent a message out. It just took like 2 years to get there. Nobody is really gay in GIJoe. It doesn't have any part of the story. I mean I guess one may wonder about the Dreadnoks. And Perhaps Serpentor picked up some tendencies from Alexander the Great. But it's a non-issue. All I know, if I ever start bringing it up someone tries to step in and then conversations are no longer fun. |

I could see the Altitude figure still having a filecard that said Wallace Weems. This nonsense confusion that Hasbro is always worried about probably only applies to what's on the outside of the packaging. The filecards in these packs will most likely be inside so it shouldn't creat a problem.

But they're not worried about making Duke, Snake Eyes, Hawk, Cobra Commander, Baroness, Storm Shadow, Destro, and Scarlett. Somehow fans are able to keep track of a lot of white characters and characters with funny masks, but evidently audiences and fans would be confused if the African-American character's names were overused by the toys... Hmmm. I'm from Mississippi and even I think that's fishy.

What about Crazylegs? He'd fit perfectly in there too. For someone that was called a Helicopter Assault Trooper, Crazylegs sure looked like a HALO jumper. Paratrooper Flint?

Awesome Airborne Recon unit. I love it. HALO and Helicopter insertions (I'm assuming that Airborne received HALO training).

Crazylegs is a great choice, but he's assigned to Night Force. He acts in the field as the link between Sky Patrol and Night Force.
