Yeah I don't expect a SeaBee to fit into your organization. It's just one of those specialists that the Joes may have. A Seal as a SeaBee is less useful than he would be as a SEAL. Tollbooth as Green Beret is Awesome, and you already did Hardtop as something else. Construction guys? Do the Joes really need them? Probably not, just like they don't need Astronauts.

I can see the Joes having some guys crosstrained in construction so can erect a quick base or landing field as needed.

Don't get me wrong. Depending on the size of your Joe Force, Construction crews of some sort are needed at the Battalion size for sure. A fleet Marine force is going to be deployed with like 6 bulldozers and a crane, and a bunch of back hoes. There's some SeaBee running that show. And From a playability standpoint I think the Toss n Cross with Tollbooth was one of my favorite toys. Even though he woould get used for like 4 seconds to get across the night stand to the Coffee table.
I'm sure the Joe could always make use of the engineers and Construction guys. Just like you said, Build a bridge, or a Peer, or a runway and set up a forward Command post HQ. My Joe Verse in my mind is about 2000 individuals. (About 450 figures right now) So I need a SeaBee. Here's mine: RE-BAR |

I hear ya Loose Cannon. My joeverse team is about the same strength. I have a few Construction guys/ Engineers/Public Works guys who come from the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade. That way they're still special forces capable.

I loved the Toss 'n Cross. That toy kicked all kinds of butt.

Oooh yeah the civil Affairs guys is another one of those missed positions in the GI Joe world. I could see someone like SureFire getting reinvented as such. I don't know how you could sell that to a kid, but they have an all encompassing mission. From Lawyers to Veterinarians. Plus I guess there is a unit of Green Berets on assignment attached to the 96th Civil Affairs, for the more unconventional type mission. Language skills are a must, as well as Airborne Qualification. |

Two new additions:
Snow Storm & Hollow Point Design notes: - I subbed in Hollow Point for Sure Fire at the last minute as the Joe team's force protection platoon's spotter/observer. I hadn't realized that Sure Fire was a lieutenant colonel(!) in his original filecard, and demoting him all the way down to sergeant just to make him "fit" seemed like too drastic of a change. To read the full filecards, click on the Filecard Project link in my signature. |

LOVE Hollow Point.
Snowstorm is cool too. Again, another set of great additions. Zulu, why'd you take Hollow Point (one of the Marines) and make him Air Force?
