GI Joe: 2015 Personnel and Equipment

Personnel:

Ace: a gambler through and through, Brad likes nothing more than a good poker game - hence his code name. It's fitting in two aspects, as Brad is also the Joe team's crack fighter pilot, who's downed more Cobra jets than you can shake a stick at! Availability:

Bazooka: a former tank jockey until his sudden epiphany about untrained yahoos immobilizing million dollar hardware with two hundred dollar handheld rockets, Bazooka instead became a missile specialist himself, plying his trade for the GI Joe team! Availability:

Big Ben: an elite British SAS soldier, David is as competent as your average American Special Forces trooper. Though trained differently, he's just as good as his fellow Joes are versus Cobra forces, no matter what the nefarious terrorists are up to! Availability:

Blowtorch: Timothy joined the Army to master the most ancient weapon: fire! Though he wields the stuff like a demon in battle, Timothy is probably the biggest proponent of fire safety on earth, knowing full well what it's capable of. Availability:

Bombstrike: Alyssa has shown once again that her family is destined for greatness. Having earned her place on the GI Joe team as a forward air controller and counterintelligence expert, Alyssa is already proving that the Joes know talent when they see it! Availability:

Chuckles: an intelligent, affable fellow, Chuckles is very hard to dislike. This helps him immensely when he's knee-deep in a Cobra compound, posing as one of their own and gaining their trust. Only too late do they realize that he's not one of them! Availability:

Dusty: born and bred in dry, dusty Las Vegas, Ronald grew up surrounded by desert - and has loved it his entire life. As such, he makes a perfect desert specialist, a vital skill the Joes need since Cobra frequently works in desert climes. Availability:

Grunt: his sheer enthusiasm for military life helping him graduate Advanced Infantry Training near the top of his class, Robert was a perfect fit for the original GI Joe team. He's been associated with the Joes on and off ever since! Availability:

Hit & Run: Brent was orphaned at three years of age when his parents were wiped out by a drunken driver. He decided he'd join the Army as a youth, and worked all his life to prepare for this - mostly by running marathons. And Brent runs very, very well! Availability:

Muskrat: born and raised in the swamps around Thibodaux, Louisiana, Ross grew up tough and quick. He breezed through his Ranger training and Jungle Warfare school as a result of his background, and easily earned his place within GI Joe upon being invited! Availability:

Night Fox: having earned a place amongst the Navy SEALs before he joined the GI Joe team, Armando M. Ortiz has a wide selection of combat skills with which to fight terrorists. You can easily see why the Joes eagerly snapped him up for their war against Cobra! Availability:

Psyche-Out: wielding a doctorate in psychology and an expertise in predictive behavioral analysis and paranoia-inducing ultra low frequency radio waves, Kenneth is the perfect psy-ops expert for GI Joe using his experience in countless covert ops! Availability:

Recondo: growing up to hate Wisconsin's cold winters, young Daniel wanted to explore the deepest African jungles as a child - and grew up to do just that. Both on and off the Joe team, Daniel has become an expert in jungle combat - and many other disciplines! Availability:

Repeater: a venerable Army Ranger, Jeffrey Therien enjoys being a soldier, and is very good at it, but sucks where military politics are concerned. As such, he was assigned to GI Joe, where he can defend freedom without ruffling oversensitive feathers. Availability:

Shipwreck: born and raised around the San Diego Naval Grounds, young Hector X Delgado was practically fated to become a sailor - and he joined the Navy to do just that. He was good enough at his job to eventually become a Joe - and even a Navy SEAL! Availability:

Sightline: ready for combat ever since his youth, Gary Goggles enlisted as early as he could, and ultimately became an anti-aircraft weapon specialist. He may not topple most enemies himself, but the Joes would have a much harder time doing it without him! Availability:

Spearhead & Max: an incredibly persuasive insurance salesman, Peter Millman gave that up to enlist, because he felt guilty about fleecing so many peoples' hard-earned money. He is just as charismatic in the military, and has proven to be a great leader! Availability:

Spirit: a psychologist and Vietnam veteran, Charlie is an expert woodsman that brings considerable talent to GI Joe. His fellows fail to understand him now and then, but they respect his skill and his ability to keep them alive! Availability:

Steeler: Ralph has an affinity for large, mechanized vehicles, and loves blowing things up. Once he passed the unbelievably tough GI Joe entrance exam, Ralph served on the team with distinction, having a proper outlet for both of his predilections. Availability:

Torpedo: a strict vegetarian and obsessive perfectionist, Edward had mastered three martial arts forms before his nineteenth birthday. Parlaying his personality quirks into a successful military career, he became GI Joe's first Navy SEAL! Availability:

Tiger Force:

Alpine: though he was a perfectly good accountant, having a decent job with prospects, Albert wanted more out of life. As such, he enlisted to use his hobby, mountain climbing, to help his country - which he does as a mountain trooper! Availability:

Big Brawler: with his dual military specialties, Brian is more than effective at rooting out terrorists based in jungle environs. This made him an excellent fit for the GI Joe team, as Cobra often hides their bases in the nastiest jungles they can find! Availability:

Dial-Tone: an electronics whiz and ham radio expert before graduating high school, Jack enlisted to further his knowledge - but found military life an end unto itself. His sheer joy in working with his hobby helped him become the best RTO out there! Availability:

Lifeline: though some of the more action-oriented members of the GI Joe team may believe otherwise, Edwin is one of the group's most valuable members. An avowed pacifist, he will go out of his way to save another's life - even risking his own! Availability:

Skystriker: Alexander Russo was born to fly. His father ran a Maryland Air Force base, and he became a fighter pilot himself after watching them flying over head for so long. He's so good that GI Joe snatched him up for their elite Tiger Force unit! Availability:

Stalker: though he started out as an urban warlord in Detroit, Lonzo cleaned up his act and joined the Army, quickly becoming one of its very best operatives. A qualified Ranger, helicopter pilot, and field medic, Stalker is an invaluable GI Joe operative! Availability:

Wreckage: explosives expert and jungle warfare master, Dillon L. Moreno has trained countless Army operatives in a variety of combat techniques over the years. As a GI Joe Tiger Force team member, he brings his expertise to many anti-Cobra operations! Availability:

Equipment:

the Chimera: an upgraded Mark 3 HISS, the Rail HISS replaced its old, conventional weaponry with twin rail guns. After capturing several of these vehicles, GI Joe reverse engineered the technology and put them into action... as their Chimeras! Availability:

the FOE Striker: a small, lightweight vehicle, this grass-green, off-road marvel was first adopted by GI JOE in 2015. Weighing 2.8 tons and armed with a powerful, recoil-less rifle, the FOE Striker can offer the Joes fire support almost anywhere! Availability:

the Ghost Hawk: handy when standard air support and cover simply isn't practical and/or possible, the Ghost Hawk is a small, cold-weather vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that can easily help the Joes attain air superiority! Availability:

the Skystriker: GI Joe's first high-speed combat aircraft is a modified Grumman F-14 Tomcat. This swing-wing, super-sonic fighter jet was adopted by the Joe team after Cobra upped the ante, so to speak, when using their own high speed craft in terrorist operations. Availability:

Tiger Force:

the Tiger Hawk: a versatile aircraft, the Tiger Hawk can serve the GI Joe team as either a rescue or assault helicopter depending on their needs, whether on land or at sea. Heavily armed and armored, the Tiger Hawk can take a beating and can dish one out, as well! Availability:
