2016 GI Joe Personnel and Equipment

Personnel:

Barricade: an urban combat expert, Phillip was trained long and hard in his art, which made joining GI Joe almost too easy for him. A latecomer to the group, he nonetheless works hard to prove his mettle when he leads his fellow Joes into a hostile city! Availability:

Bullhorn: an amazing crisis negotiator, Stephen is also a world-class shot with a pistol and a former Quantico hand-to-hand combat instructor. In other words, he has the ability to talk down some nutjobs, and can dismantle others when words fail him! Availability:

Doc 2: the niece of the GI Joe team's original Doc, Carla P. Greer followed in her uncle's footsteps to become a doctor. With her smarts, determination and sheer gumption, Carla rapidly earned herself a place on the GI Joe team - a family tradition! Availability:

Duke: with his years of experience in special ops, Duke was an excellent choice to be GI Joe's field leader. Second only to Hawk in the team's command structure, Duke has consistently led the Joes to victory against Cobra over the years! Availability:

Freefall: though he's got the biggest ego on the Joe team, Phillip's got the tools and the talent to back it up. Whether he's eating bugs or debating philosophy, Phillip's physical and mental conditioning always place him at the top of his game. Availability:

Heavy Duty: possessing keen hand-eye coordination, the ability to multitask, veritable ambidexterity, and a perfectionist's attention to detail, Heavy Duty is comfortable whether he's composing music or firing on Cobras - and is equally good at both! Availability:

Law & Order: after years as a Houston beat cop, Christopher enlisted to find a more fulfilling way to be a policeman, taking his trusty dog Order with him. His sheer devotion to the job ultimately got him placed on the Joe team - if under odd circumstances. Availability:

Lieutenant Falcon: a second generation Green Beret, Vincent Falcone is himself a natural leader. The man excels at inspiring those who serve beneath him, and is a multi-lingual expert in all manner of counter-terrorist operations around the globe. Availability:

Pathfinder: William was raised with a plethora of wilderness survival skills as he grew up in the Florida Everglades. Using these to excel as the Army's premier jungle missions expert, William proved to be a natural fit for the elite GI Joe team. Availability:

Shooter: leading a spiritual and charitable life outside of the military, few would guess at SFC Jodie Craig's actual Army job. A highly decorated sniper, she was one of the original members of the GI Joe team - even if they didn't even know it! Availability:

Stiletto: a former Cobra operative who 'saw the light' alongside fellow defector Mercer, Paithoon Kwaingo eventually followed him into membership onto the GI Joe team, as well. Now known as Stiletto, she fights her old allies for her own reasons! Availability:

Air Commandos:

Cloudburst: a glider enthusiast all his life, it was only natural that the Army put Chuck to work fine tuning their own glider systems! Having been flying and building them his entire life, Chuck makes a most excellent addition to the GI Joe Air Commandos! Availability:

Skymate: though he isn't the glider fan that Cloudburst is, Daniel T. Toner makes use of his works as a high flying, silent weapons combatant. He hails from the Australian SAS, and lends his skills to the GI Joe team in their fight against Cobra's thuggery! Availability:

Ninja Force:

Nunchuk: originally a student of the mysterious Blind Master, Ralph eventually came under the tutelage of Storm Shadow himself after his first sensei vanished, well, mysteriously. Soon after, he joined the GI Joe team, as a part of their Ninja Force! Availability:

Sky Patrol:

Air Raid: a seasoned Air Force test pilot, Benjamin Thomas was a perfect fit for GI Joe, since most of its aircraft are experimental at best. The new pilot of Sky Patrol's Skystriker, Benjamin is testing their stealth technology out on a venerable craft! Availability:

Airborne 2: Robert is easily the most popular Sky Patrol member, but not due to any juvenile pecking order. No, he's well liked because he does his level best to get everyone to their mission in one piece, and patches them up when they get perforated. Availability:

Airwave: an electronics expert without peer, Cliff can 'kit-bash' like no one else, and is infamous for his improvisational electronics repairs. He serves as the audible frequency expert for GI Joe's Sky Patrol team - and is mean in a firefight, too! Availability:

Altitude: a former syndicated cartoon artist and a Sergeant Major of the Army, John-Edward has a unique background. Of course, add his eidetic memory on top of that, and you have the makings for an unbelievably effective recon patrolman and combat artist! Availability:

Drop Zone: Sky Patrol's 'dog face', Drop Zone loves the Army way of life. He loves the smell of gun oil, feels out of place when not wearing olive drab clothing, and finds KP relaxing. He's also at his best when jumping out of an airplane at 20,000 feet! Availability:

Skydive: as their leader and mentor, Lynton constantly pushes the Sky Patrol to be 'all they can be,' in an effort to prepare them for the worst in the field, far from support. This is, of course, when he himself isn't dropped off in the wilds, with only a blade in hand! Availability:

Static Line: an expert in demolitions and aircraft maintenance, Wallace is great at not only making sure the Sky Patrol's gear gets them to missions safely, but in making sure that the enemy's explosives don't waylay the team once they're on the job! Availability:

Tiger Force:

Outback: Stuart is the consummate survivalist - though as a survival and jungle warfare instructor, that's his job. He's at his happiest when he's living off the land, days away from civilization, and immersing himself in the wilds that surround him! Availability:

Sneak Peek: growing up with a love of nature in eerie Bangor, Maine, Owen King enlisted as soon as he could. Using his wilderness skills to become an Army Ranger, Owen has since gone on to become one of the GI Joe team's greatest reconnaissance operatives! Availability:

Equipment:

Air Commandos:

the Air Assault Glider: designed to work in two distinct modes, the Air Assault Glider can function as either a normal GI Joe glider or transform into a fully functional Cobra jet pack - the better for the Air Commandos to slip behind Cobra lines with! Availability:

Sky Patrol:

the Sky Patrol JUMPs: while used regularly over the years, GI Joe never bothered to build new JUMPs once the first batch were made. Upon running low, the Sky Patrol picked up the slack, producing a new JUMP using modern manufacturing techniques! Availability:

the Sky Patrol Skystriker: after GI Joe reengineered its retired Skystriker fleet in 2015, the Sky Patrol got in on that action. Coating several Skystrikers with its top secret, chromium stealth technology, they acquired a new generation of fighter craft! Availability:

the Sky Sweeper, Mark 2: the Sky Patrol has applied their unique stealth technology to several captured Firebats, creating the Mark 2 version of the Sky Sweeper. With further offensive modifications, it can actually hold its own against airborne targets! Availability:
