Has anyone seen the pics of the new Alpha vehicles and figures?.
I was excited at seeing Air Raid and the fact that he was a new character. Colour me disappointed when he turned out to be Airborne under a new name. Also, Roll Bar has a new name too.. Why would Hasbro do this? they only released Airborne a year ago..weird. Speaking of recycling old characters, I had an idea about my Custom ODA Team (the one Marine Deadpool is doing for me), and I wanted to run it by you guys... So, the only certified Green Beret I don't have on the team is Drop Zone and that's because Hasbro hasn't given us a 25th/ROC Drop Zone... and unless they recycle the name, they probably won't give us one. And so I've felt pushed to start taking matters into my own hands... enter Roll Bar. I think his head (with painted black hair), and arms will work really well. I'd like to combine his head and arms with ROC Wild Bill's torso and legs and paint him Camo to match the rest of the team. I'll use ROC Wild Bill's assault vest, and Roll bar's harness (both painted OD Green). What do y'all think? It's just been really, really bothering me not to use Drop Zone on my ODA Team - he's one of the few official Green Berets. Do y'all think it'll work alright?

So I'm debating on who to make my ROC Hawk.
Stealing from everyone's ideas here's my choices: Flagg Sr. Col Trent (From Action force) Col Trautman from Rambo I'm not sure if it's Colonel Trent or General Trent if he is even military. However when I googled it I got Zulu's concept project.

Yeah I can't wait for the Club one. I'm actually leaning towards Trautman, since i was using the original mail away Colton as my SAS Colonel Banks, Who I'm changing to Trent.(Zulu's inspiration) And I have the Comic pack Flagg who has the Iconic sunglasses. I need to incoporate a Colonel Hannibal Smith. But who to use? I need another Hotseat or a DTC Salvo head. This is really Tyroc's damn fault.
I'm totally with you about Colton. I can't wait. I wonder how I can use the different versions of Colton there are 4 - How will I use the blond one in the orange jump suit - maybe Colton undercover? I don't know yet.

I'm beginning to wonder why Hasbro does anything anymore. I suppose that's stating it a bit too strongly, but all the same, whoever is in charge of characters and continuity over there is asleep at the wheel. I'll use him as a new character.

Tell me more about Colonel Banks? Is he a character you invented? How do you use him? Also, I especially appreciate the fact that you're trying to incorporate Col. Hannibal Smith - the A-Team is one of my very favorite shows. Murdock was a comic genius.

I don't know yet. One thing that always bothered me though is there were only 4 of them, 3 officers and an enlisted guy. Also they didn't seem like an ODA team. More like the B support team. A Colonel, a Lt, a Sgt and a chopper pilot? |

Thanks man. I'm hoping that with different pants and Marine Deadpool's paint job, he'll look different enough that people won't just see a kitbash fan custom. I hope they'll step back and say, "Oh, wow. Where did he get that?" Marine Deadpool can do wonders with camo... have you seen any of his other customs? I highly recommend you checking them out.

I love the A-team too, I have them in my 'verse. Hannibal is the Strategic Plans and Formulation Officer. Faceman is the Joe's logisitcs officer, Murdock is in charge of the Helicopter Transport Squad and BA is the motor pool nco.

I've been meaning to ask Oliver, if I was placing a computer guy like Mainframe in a base set up. Would he belong with S5 communications or S6 Info OPs???

It's a good question. Mainframe often gets put with communications, but he's not really a communications specialist. That's more Breaker and Dial-Tone's job. I use him with my Naval/Marine Forces as a comm guy, because there isn't another Navy/Marine Comm specialist. I'd set him up with your S6. He's a Tech/IT kind of guy. Just a suggestion.

@Tyroc: I know you addressed your question to oliverbox, but here are my (unsolicited) thoughts regarding your query about Mainframe's placement in a staffed organisation.
