i bought into the hype of him as a kid. i ordered him and played with him for a few weeks then retired him to the pile of "dead" joes i didnt play with anymore. he was kinda cool but the chrome turned me off because it wasnt tactical and he fact that he was "super trooper". if he is so much better then everyone else why do we even need the joe's kinda thing.
he never found any love with me untill i read the gi joe european missions featuring him. really fleshed out the character and made me like him in the comics, even though he was never in the US run (wonder why hasbro didnt push him in the book, its not like he is a named person like the fridge they would have had to cut a check to with every appearance). it still didnt make me like him enough as a figure after that to reserect him from the dead pile. what do you all think? |

In the UK Action Force, he was one of 2 soldiers picked for some advanced training or something. The other one was KIA and then he was the one left over. I think he was just basically a really good trooper.
I don't know if they ever did any story in the US for the Super Trooper though.

Loved him back in the day...and still do! Would love to see a Super Trooper! I thought of him like he was Rambo ;) He was only used on special operations.

Super Trooper was the 25th Anniversary GI JOE toy, though not labeled as such. It puts him in perspective.
It's amusing, though, he was made from reused parts, except his vest and shield. As far as the character goes, he was okay. In a modern reboot, I'd up the concept. He'd be bionic/bio-enhanced...controversial if you will. |

Sure, why not? Didn’t have him back in the day, so there’s no nostalgia here, but I didn’t hate him, can’t deny him; so bring on a modern era super trooper!

Big Yes! I'm hoping that the FSS 8.0 gives us one.

I'd like to see him again. He'd be perfect for the fss - maybe as the mystery 13th figure, or something.
There's a pretty easy custom that looks awesome, which I'll probably copy if he never gets an official release. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/5060201-post314.html |

I like him, I use him in my commando ops squad of my Joes, along with Action Man and my Steel Brigade trooper.
