Let me amend my statement by saying I've never cared for the unit having said codename. |

My fan-fic based on the comics has Action Force as the European response to the Red Shadows and later Cobra, with the Joes and Oktober Guard having been formed after splits in the AF organisation caused by Black Major's capture and brainwashing and the subsequent theft of a US HAL weapon by the Shadows to create their "Laser Exterminator" and the apparent death of Jackal, before he became Red Jackal.
The Canadians later created their own GI Joe unit, then Argentina, Brazil and several others created Task Force 282, which was popularly known as 'los comandos heroicos' in the press, before internal arguments by the countries led to them pulling out leading to Brazil and Argentina largely funding the group and it being renamed 'Comandos Em Acao' or "Action Commandos". by the 2020s, the Guard, Canadian GI Joe and Action Commandos have all been disbanded after the Cobra threat faded after the 1997 invasion of Cobra Island and the GI Joe and Action Force units have been hammered by cuts over the years so that they're barely surviving as far smaller units. |

this will give you links to the pages on the units, and then you can read the stories on there. I don't have the Complan Commandos or Bronze Bombers in my fic, and I've not heard of that other one. |

Being both British and old I grew up with action force before gi joe and loved the red shadows
The transition to cobra in the af comics never grabbed me the way the red shadows did and eventually I just moved to the us gi joe and ignored the British version I wish hasbro had kept the trademark and we could have had oring red shadows in the new line cause I would have bought them all The worse thing is that the af cobra commander is totally different to the us one and it’s really jarring how different they portrayed him in the uk. I love iron blood and I think he would be an interesting character to tap in gi joe. But Larry’s continuity is ….just a mess now

I never liked the idea of my 60’s GI Joe being made into a pipsqueak little 3.75 inch figure and leotard wearing ninjas , lol
