Simple question, just curious.
In Britain, SB was renamed 'Special Corps' and the forms to fill out were printed in mutliple issues of Transformers and GI Joe (the comic which the US Joe reprints were folded into with Transformers, as the UK material went into AF Monthly before it's demise) and I filled out several, but never sent off for the figure. The name I used was 'Firebolt'. ISTR I stole that from Hot Rod's Targetmaster partner. |

Initially it was Punisher, but after awhile I just started calling him Sgt Major Haley......

Mine was Mongoose. What else would you name a cobra's natural enemy.
I got to meet Larry Hama for the first time at the Atlanta Joecon. I asked him why did he not name a Joe mongoose, he said he never thought about it. I always thought it would have made more sense if Snake eyes code name were Mongoose instead. |

It involved my real name and the whole thing was a surprise my momma set up for me.
It was awesome and I still have my framed information sheet around somewhere. |

I never actually had an ARAH Steel Brigade.
I liked the new head, and the concept, but was not a fan of the parts choice (much of which seemingly derived from 1983's Airborne). As well, I felt that different weapon and training specialities should have resulted in each kid's SB figure being outfitted with correlating weapons & accessories. I gave the idea a 9.5/10, but the execution only a 6/10. I actually prefer the ME SB hands-down, both in parts choice, and weapons. If I had to give a SB a code name, Snakesbane or Sureshot are two that come to mind.

Mongoose, very apt, and a great name choice, by the way!

Bulletstopper based on what Wild Bill called Footloose on his first day as a Joe in the comic.
