Steel Brigade or Battle Corps could work. Generic enough to fit all the outlandish characters that G.I. Joe is famous for. Said Joe himself could even be the leader.

I think I've stated on a thread before that I thought Action Force could work, since international fans are already familiar with the name. It is hard to not use such an iconic brand like GI Joe though.
Maybe Action Force could be the name for the team as a whole, and GI Joe is like the US branch. |

It WOULD be a waste to not use such an iconic brand, however, I feel BBI's Elite Force is what a toyline called G.I. Joe should look like.
What we've had since the 80s is a mash-up of things like ninjas, robots, monsters, etc. A toyline that cool deserves a brand name that better encapsulates that mixture. Last edited by AWOL; 07-24-2021 at 01:25 PM.. |

They should at least go back to G.I. Joe vs. Cobra, so you get a better sense of what the main conflict of the toy line is, and why the phrase G.I. Joe shows up on characters like black-leather clad women, ninjas and robots.

That may have been Hasbro's thinking at the time. It was probably this same line of thought that led them to almost rebranding entirely to Sigma 6.

Yes.

I went back and checked it to make sure I was quoting it right.
I'm very convinced that Hawk never really liked ninjas on his team. He really doesn't seem to like Storm Shadow although he has come to accept him finally.

It sounds more like who ever wrote the issue didn't like ninjas. ;-)
