Well there are two things wrong with your argument.
One that it is preposterous that people were unaware. We just don't know. I tried watching it last night on FX. It's even worse than I remember. Pure conjecture here, but I could see Hasbro getting star-struck and saying yes to anything. Two, How Prominent is Stone really? Both Sigma Six and Extreme were low exposure exercises. If they named him Lt Stone then yeah, but since it's not even a codename then it's sort of generic. Covergirl is pretty different, except she is using a codename of a well established character. As the name infers she is a pretty face, and in that regard they are similar enough. Stone is listed as a Special Operations INstructor. Nothing like the other two. This maybe a reference to Gung-Ho, or Sgt Slaughter but of the many instructors the Joes have, the ability to be able to instruct others in their field craft just further promotes that ability they are specialists in. Roadblock doesn't need to be a chef to be Roadblock he just needs to be big and shoot a machine gun. It helps to actually be named Roadblock one of the most iconic Joes of all and not named Heavy Doodie. I can see how they may have used a combination of the two previous Stones to birth the Movie Stone, but he's not like either he's just Generic. Not much more than a Pit Trooper.

But for the purposes of that cameo, they didn't have time to explain a backstory or give him details like a cybernetic arm. Most of the ROC characters are generic in that sense.
If Lt. Bludd showed up in the movie and didn't have an eye patch or a cybernetic arm, he would still be their version of Bludd. I don't think he has those in Renegades. Such details are not essential to defining the character. Last edited by JediJones; 05-13-2015 at 05:07 PM.. |

Next round Blaster could beat him, but after that it doesn't look like a competitive nominee can get in. It will be up to Static Line to hold the line. But he has the problem of vote-splitting with his body-sharing buddy Backstop.

I think Lobisomem is more of an evil Snake Eyes than Cobra De Aco. I'd say Cobra De Aco is more of an evil Flash; he even has the same weapons.

Blitz, Gorky, Cold Front, Dial-Tone and Stone are all running behind in the vote threshold for not being dropped.
