Gi Joe: 1997 Personnel and Equipment

Ace: a gambler through and through, Brad likes nothing more than a good poker game - hence his code name. However, the name is 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! Ace comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Breaker: Alvin was schooled in at least seven languages and the operation of most NATO communications gear. Despite his lack of combat experience, and being one of the youngest men to ever become a Joe, Alvin repeatedly proved his worth as the Joes' communications officer. Breaker is available in Classic and Saga styles!

Duke: before being recruited onto the Joe team, Conrad had a history of working in Special Ops, and brought that sneaky expertise to the team as its field leader. Second only to Hawk in the team's leadership, Duke has consistently led the Joes to victory against Cobra over the years! Duke comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Grunt: after his enthusiasm helped him to graduate near the top of his class in his Advanced Infantry Training, Robert made quite a name for himself as an expert soldier in general. As such, he made the cut for the original Gi Joe team, and returns from time to time to help them out. Grunt comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Gung-Ho: one of the roughest and gruffest folk you'll ever meet, Ettienne was born and raised in a swamp. After joining the Marines, he proved himself time and time again, and has shown the same level of achievement as a long-standing member of the Gi Joe team! Gung-Ho comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Hawk: head of the Gi Joe team since its inception in '82, good ol' Clayton has proven time and time again that he's a capable leader, tactician, and victor in the seemingly eternal war against terrorism, especially versus the group (and occasional sovereign state) known to the world as Cobra. Hawk comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Rock 'n Roll: the team's original heavy machine gunner, Craig was born in beautiful Malibu, California. He eventually grew up and joined the Army, hoping to make the world a better place, and found that membership in the Gi Joe team offers him the ability to do just that. Rock 'n Roll comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Scarlett: having trained as a martial artist since she was nine years old, and then being put through more 'dirty tricks' training in the Army, Shana makes for an excellent Joe. Her combat prowess and ability to gain intelligence on Cobra operations is second to none! Scarlett comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Short-Fuze: coming from two previous generations of Army guys, it was only natural that Eric would join with the Army himself. His natural mathematical capabilities made him a demon with a mortar, a skill which made him a candidate for the new Gi Joe team! Short-Fuze is available in Classic and Saga styles!

Stalker: though he started out as an urban warlord in Detroit, Lonzo cleaned up his act and joined the Army, only to become one of its very best operatives - and one of the first Joes. A qualified Ranger, helicopter pilot, and field medic, Lonzo is an invaluable Gi Joe operative! Stalker comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Torpedo: a diving instructor and triple black belt before enlisting, Edward made his way through the Navy with ease, and became a full-fledged S.E.A.L. in no time. As the Joe team's first Navy representative, Edward went out of his way to prove himself - as his performance shows. Torpedo comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Zap: a New York City native, Rafael was raised in awe of the gigantic structures around him. He joined the Army to get the education he needed to take part in the construction of such buildings, and became an engineer of sorts - he now knows how to best take buildings apart! Zap comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Lady Jaye: a competent actress even before she was recruited by the U.S. Army, Alison became a master of espionage with the tutelage of Army master intelligence operatives. She's also a master of several obscure weapons, a master linguist, and a competent pilot! Lady Jaye comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Snake-Eyes: a singularly mysterious man, the commando known only as Snake-Eyes has experienced nothing but tragedy in his life. However, he's persevered through the years, and become a true force to be reckoned with - as would any other patriotic ninja master! Snake-Eyes comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Storm Shadow: Tommy Arashikage, Cobra's greatest ninja operative, didn't originally start out with evil aims. However, thanks to the machinations of Cobra Commander, he was swept into a life of crime and terrorism, one that continually comes back to haunt him...! Storm Shadow comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Blizzard: Gregory is tough because he has to be, for he knows that with his job as a cold weather soldier - much less the instructor of other like soldiers - he will become a statistic if he goes easy on himself... and his charges will as well, if he goes easy on them. Blizzard comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Iceberg: growing up amidst the intense heat of the Brownsville, Texas summers, Clifton decided that he wanted to serve in a much colder climate upon enlisting in the Army. He found his element once he was assigned to Alaska, and quickly became one with his frozen environs. Iceberg comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the A-10 Thunderbolt: pulling several of their Tiger Rats out of moth balls, the Gi Joe team has refurbished them and returned them to their original namesake - even if they're actually a sort of V.T.O.L. version of the original aircraft, that were themselves captured from Cobra forces...! The A-10 Thunderbolt comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Navy S.E.A.L. Night Landing: this small, lightweight raft, a self-inflatable nylon/polyskin composite, is great for aquatically inserting small forces into enemy territory for various purposes - as it can be driven with a large outboard motor or simply rowed for additional stealth. The Navy S.E.A.L. Night Landing comes in Classic and Saga styles

the Silver Mirage: this small, fast vehicle is a replacement for the venerable yet still effective R.A.M. The hue of its namesake, the Silver Mirage is a lightweight motorcycle with a heavily armed side car, and is equipped with four tiny missiles it can use to total small vehicles. The Silver Mirage comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Slugger: the Slugger is an exceptionally large (175 mm) cannon mounted on top of a big ol' engine. Weighing in at 29 tons, this massive hunk of metal isn't one of the most maneuverable pieces of hardware out there, but it's one of the most powerful artillery pieces in the Joe arsenal! The Slugger comes in Classic and Saga styles!
