Over the years, Sergeant Slaughter has headed several teams of GI Joe operatives. The first of these was the Renegades, a group of three misfits hardly fit for duty, who he turned into bona fide soldiers to make use of on 'off the book' missions.
His second team built on this success. The idea was, if he could turn a group of goons into Joes, what could he do with a team of actual Joes, given the time? The result of that work was the Marauders, and was highly successful in its anti-Cobra activities.
the Renegades:
Personnel:
Sgt. Slaughter: a force of nature, Sgt. Slaughter was born on Parris Island, and raised to become as tough and mean as is humanly possible - a perfect Marine! The ultimate drill instructor, the Sarge is who GI Joe relies upon to keep themselves on their toes! Availability:
Mercer: an ex-Cobra Viper who has 'seen the light', Felix has turned on his former terrorist allies and is all about bringing them down. Though unable to work for the Joes in an official capacity, he has found a home in Sergeant Slaughter's Renegades! Availability:
Red Dog: a former pro football player, David Taputapu got sacked for unnecessary roughness. After a stint as a Hollywood stunt man, he was recruited by GI Joe, as the powers that be thought he'd be an excellent addition to Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades! Availability:
Taurus: Varujan Ayvazyan was a Turkish circus acrobat who did undercover work for Interpol, when he wasn't smashing two-by-fours with his face under the big top. An expert in over a dozen languages, Taurus was an ideal candidate to join GI Joe's Renegades! Availability:
Equipment:
the Triple T: a powerful, yet small treaded vehicle Sgt. Slaughter uses in his personal war against Cobra, the Triple T (Tag Team Terminator) is more than a mere conveyance for the Sarge. Though lightly armed, it can easily plow right through other vehicles! Availability:
the Warthog AIFV: a replacement for the Joes' old APC, their Warthog Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle does the exact same job, albiet in a smaller, more heavily armed and armored capacity. This makes it more suitable for special missions and the like. Availability:
the Marauders:
Personnel:
Sgt. Slaughter: a force of nature, Sgt. Slaughter was born on Parris Island, and raised to become as tough and mean as is humanly possible - a perfect Marine! The ultimate drill instructor, the Sarge is who GI Joe relies upon to keep themselves on their toes! Availability:
Barbecue: thrill-seeker and all around party animal, Barbecue became a fire fighter for the sheer thrill of it all. The only dedicated firefighter on the GI Joe team, Barbecue tends to be placed on missions with the flamethrower experts. Availability:
Footloose: Footloose was an overachiever in his formative years, a trait which continued until he suddenly dropped out of college and vanished for years. Eventually coming to his senses, he enlisted in the Army to find purpose in his life - and he has! 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:
Hardball: a former minor league baseball player, Wilmer quit after five seasons upon realizing the leagues valued star power over teamwork. He then enlisted to find a group which appreciated his team player attitude better - and was wildly successful! Availability:
Low-Light: lost in the woods for three weeks during a hunting trip gone wrong, Cooper overcame his fear of the dark, animals, and loud noises - and how! He grew up to become one with the night, and is an expert tracker, night spotter, and sniper! Availability:
Mutt & Junkyard: an amazing animal handling ability caused Stanley to gravitate towards military K-9 units upon enlisting, which ultimately led to his assignment to the GI Joe team! There, he and Junkyard provide security on base and in the field. Availability:
Sergeant Smasher: when Sergeant Slaughter was captured by the Python Patrol, there was only one drill sergeant the GI Joe team trusted to liberate him: Sergeant Smasher! Naturally, Mr. C (as Smasher is often called) remained on the team afterwards! 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:
Equipment:
the Armadillo Mini-Tank: a tank in miniature, the Armadillo packs the fire power of four linked, 60mm cannons into a vehicle the size of a Ford ™ Escort ™. Though small, and having only one real weapon to speak of, it's fast and highly durable. Availability:
the Equalizer: after the Marauders stripped a few Mauler MBT tanks of their turrets for use in their Lynx vehicles, they had a perfectly good tank body remaining. Thus, they welded missile launchers on top of the thing, creating their Equalizers! Availability:
the Lynx: a durable, miniature tank, the Lynx is a frankenvehicle built from old Wolverines and MBT Maulers - combining the best traits of both! Though incredibly slow, the Lynx makes up for this with a staggering amount of destructive power! Availability:
