| Heck, it wouldn't be that hard to make the game. SWM is pretty good base if you want to focus on the characters. If it's cool tanks and planes then there's axis and allies minis.

| Agreed, and that's what I would be buying. SWM sized GI-Joe minis would be perfect for my modern, horror and pulp games. You know what, I'm going to go through my SWM commons and uncommons to see what I can find. I've a feeling the Galactic trooper would make a good Cobra Trooper with the right re-paint.

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

Also I was thinking, rather than trying to make all of the old Characters from the Show. Why don't we try to make up a few of our own?

Naahhh not Uber Unplayable characters. More like Joe's they never made. This guy could be code named.... Desert Fox. He'd have stealth and some other neat tricks. Maybe give him a pet Heyena too.

Allright, both works for me too. Here's a link to the Wilki entry, I'm going to use it as a refrence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI-Joe
Now The first thing I think we ought to do is come up with stats and points for the Generic Cobra Minions and GI-Joe troopers.

| If I can snag another Admiral Ozzel I'll try for a Cobra Commander Conversion. the Helmet wouldn't be that hard to do. Although I'm more likely to use a spare snowtrooper to do a Mask version instead.

| I could see that build. For instance I would imagine that there would be a large gap between the vast number of unique Joe's to their fodder counterparts, like they're the elite. While the Cobra forces are cheaper in general, they don't have as strong of guys. OR the reverse, where team work is a Joe thing and they're trying to bring down the tougher Cobra guys...
How about;
Cobra Trooper/Joe Infantry (5pts)
HP 10
DEF 16
Att +4
DMG 10
Then we can build from there. | |

| Looks good to me. Yeah I was envisioning the Joes as having mostly unique characters, however they do have some generic troopers to round them out. Cobra by Contrast only has a few Unigue Characters, however they have a Variety of Troopers.

| So just throwing some numbers out there, a typical Joe team might look like this:
Ripcord 20pts
Scarlet 20pts
Road Block 30pts
Duke 40pts
Flint 40pts
Snake Eyes 50pts
And a Cobra Team like this:
Cobra Trooper x6 30pts
Crimson Guard x2 30pts
Baroness 30pts
Storm Shadow 50pts
Destro 60pts
Thought being that Cobra has cheap fodder, a few mid-ranged guys, but some higher cost "trixy" characters. The Joes are higher up than most fodder, but just end up below the high end Cobra costing dudes. | |

We can use the red cobra symbol for Cobra, and the silver star for Joe's factions. | |
