In light of the "deadliest Joe" thread I thought I would throw this one up there.
Personally I thought Torpedo is without doubt one of the baddest of the bad and a point was brought up "then why not Wet-Suit?" So let's break down a few points. 1st the Figures: There are (I believe 11) different versions of Wet-Suit (including one that had buying an ROC figure justified). AND...he came with the Attack of C.I. set...very cool. I think Torpedo only has 7(?) and none of them have some of the drastic changes that Wet-Suit has had over the years...that may be a good or bad thing depending on how you view it. Filecards: I have to go with Torpedo simply because of the extent it goes to about his martial arts training, his knife proficiency and how he takes care of himself. Overall: Torpedo is an O.G., and though Wet-Suit didn't wait a whole lot longer to hop on board...there is something "special" about the early Joes. This is just all my very humble and rambling opinion....let's take it to the polls! |

i go w/ torpedo based on the overall looks of each's v1 figure (i'll take black and gray over teal and yellow) and, like you said, torpedo's file card makes him out to be a badass.

I've always liked Torpedo better. IDK why. They say you always like the version of the song you hear first. Maybe it's because he was first.

Wet suit was my first GiJoe ever I love that figure, long lost, and needing replacement. His helmet was bad ass and the sled was pretty cool too.

Yes Torpedo was first but Wet suit just looked cooler.

Torpedo FTW!
I like the Wet-Suit figure but the colors are not appealing.

I prefer Torpedo, but Wet Suit was a nasty ass...Torps was more light and fun.
