Apparently Mouse is one of the team members who fights with Sgt Savage in the cartoon--I never watched it, just read the synopsis--but I don't know if he is also an unfrozen WWII veteran, maybe just a modern addition. But you're right, it wouldn't make sense to have an infantryman/computer specialist in WWII. He is supposed to be very tall (6'9", 6'8"), a bit clumsy, and a "hacker" in the cartoon anyway.

So how are you guys going to use the new Joe Colton? Keep him as Colton or rename him? I decided I would rather use him as John McClane. Here's a file card I did up:

I'm thinking of using him as the SEAL from "Tears of the Sun".

I will be using Colton as Cmd Waters instead of Lt Waters. He's just too old. My one problem is his role seems to overlap a bit with my Commander Magnum figure and my Commander Bond (Marauders Falcon). BUt its alright they are all more or less tactitians and planning. I love your take as well Tanksmasher as it is very befitting the figure.

For UK/AF Outback, I'm thinking of calling him either "Merlin" or "Wizard". The name Outback really does make a lot of sense for an Australian, but in my Joeverse, I grew up with Stuart Selkirk from Wyoming.
But, as an homage to Australia, I'd like to give AF Outback a name that fits an Australian... an Australian with a big white beard. So, since Australia is often called "OZ" I thought of "Wizard". And when I thought of "Wizard" and with the beard I thought of "Merlin"... I also thought of "Dumbledore" and "Gandalf", but those didn't seem as fitting. What do y'all think of "Merlin" or "Wizard" for AF Outback? For AF Beach-Head, I need some help. I ws thinking about "Boomerang" but he's NZ SAS, and I didn't know if a Boomerang is native to NZ or if it's just an Australian thing. Any other suggestions for a NZ commando would be welcome. I am considering the name "Griffin" because the NZSAS was involved with an Operation Griffin in 1998, and the Griffin has the head of an eagle... maybe like the famous HAAST Eagle of NZ, and because AF Beach-Head was a sniper. Same problem for UK/AF Hit & Run... any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I'm leaning toward "Badger"

1943 Savage is frozen by a Lt Stromm, the turncoat in his unit. Then 50 years later General Hawk, Doc and a female (unsure if its Lady Jaye or Covergirl they dont say which) unfreeze Savage. Hawk puts Sgt Savage in charge of a bunch of misfit sergeants in 1993 to shape them up. To assist in guarding a satelite launch by the shadowy business man that was Stromm by a different name. Savage recognizes him and starts to go crazy about it. So, Hawk grounds the Screamin Eagles because of Savage's mental problems with Stromm and the "Joes" defend the launch. But somehow the Joes are taken out by Stromm's army. So Savage and the eagles save the day, even tho you dont see the Joes. So the Screamin Eagles are "present day" troops. Cobra Commander does make a viewscreen appearance. Stromm tells Cobra Commander that he has financed Cobra over the years, so fall in line or else.

Loose Cannon, I have the pilot cartoon of Sgt Savage & the Screamin Eagles on vhs. The fast and easy way to explain how I remember the plot goes like this.
1943 Savage is frozen by a Lt Stromm, the turncoat in his unit. Then 50 years later General Hawk, Doc and a female (unsure if its Lady Jaye or Covergirl they dont say which) unfreeze Savage.

Stromm tells Cobra Commander that he has financed Cobra over the years, so fall in line or else. I have that VHS... this is exactly right. The "Scream'n Eagles" are Modern Day troops to back up Sgt. Savage, the Capt. America-esque thawed out, throw back soldier. However, I don't know if the Retaliation Mouse really has anything to do with that character.

Yeah, was just clearing up the WWII/present day computer dilemma. Could be just using the Mouse name instead of Mainframe. It's kinda like Dialtone, no one knows what a Mainframe is anymore, but a Mouse, we still use those.

That's a really interesting idea... an updated take on Mainframe. I don't get the sense of an IT/Comms guy from the figure, but that doesn't mean anything. That's a very insightful way of looking at the continuity and the character, Takedown. Well done. I guess we'll all just have to wait until Spring to know for sure.
