I just bought Sightline (great tribute from Hasbro to the late collector Gyre Viper, Gary "Googles" Head), but I do not know the specialty in the roster for the new G.I.JOE member.
I'm thinking about "Air Support", "Artillery/Heavy Ordnance", Covert ops", "Infantry" and "Nocturnal ops". B.t.w., this is my roster: My G.IJOE roster... . P.S.: I copied the roster from "D.D.P. G.I.JOE Special Missions: Manhattan". Thank You, Bros.!

Dual role for me: anti-aircraft and sniper.

Im using him as part of my recon team, and he marks targets with the strobe markers for the A10s, Dragonfly's and Locusts for strike.

This. He's meant to target things for the Skystriker in the set. So I guess his specialty is recon/working with FACs(Forward Air Controllers). |

I had no idea that this figure was a tribute to Gary "goggles". Is this true?

O.K.,I think I'll put Sightline in the "Air Support" specialty.

His primary specialty on the filecard is "Anti-Aircraft Weapons". (someone that shoots down enemy planes) But the description of what he does is to mark targets on the ground for friendly aircrafts, which is the work of a FACs (Forward Air Controllers) like Shin said. Not Anti-Aircraft. (Man, I miss Larry Hama) His codename, Sightline, seems to suggest that he's a FAC. Since FAC's job is to be the plane's eyes on the ground. He comes with a sniper rifle, indicating that he's someone that does long-distance works (not close combat per se). He comes with the Skystriker vs the HISS tank, it make sense that he'd be a FAC, to target the HISS tanks for Ace. He's a FAC. Like Bombstrike...which I think is the only other FAC in the Joe team. |
