Captain Grid-iron is one my favourite gi joe character after General Hawk, Beachhead, Scarlett and Pathfinder... the cartoon was a big part of my childhood due I watched most the episode of the Dic era and when I first saw United we stand at first thought It was Duke in a new uniform then I realised he was a new character and the leader in command plus loved the idea he was captain not a Master Sergeant like his replacement... all though the chain in command is weird in GI Joe media, so in my mind should like this: 1) General Colton 2) General Hawk 3) General Flagg II (son of the original General Flagg due his father was killed in the comics by Major Bludd and that time Hawk was still a Colonel with the original 13 GI Joe) 4) Sgt.Slaughter (all though a Sergeant but I feel he has more experience then those who come after him) 5) Cpt.Grid-Iron 6) Duke (who should be a captain like in the movie rise of cobra not master sergeant) 7) Flint 8) Beachhead 9) Scarlett 10) Roadblock Till this day still have his vintage gi joe figure along his fss 8 club figure @Hasbroplsue hope they make him in GI Joe Classified 6 inch.

Maybe they could've also had one based on a water skier and called him "Lieutenant Jumped the Shark"? Or what about a sprinter and called him "Major Run Out of Ideas"?

0:34 Hand to hand combat is NOT a Military Occupational Specialty. That's PART of the training for another job It would be like saying that firing a rifle is your job in the Army. EVERYBODY fires a rifle in the military, even cooks and clerks just like everyone is taught hand to hand combat And think about it. you go into combat with nothing but your fists? 1:05 He goes from West Point to the Army war college on the sole reason that he was a quarterback? He would've been a second lieutenant. We had a saying in the Army "What's the difference between a second Lieutenant and a private 2nd class? The private has been promoted once" 2:27 Snake Eyes died from a grenade that would've killed the entire team? How powerful do they think grenades are? even rocket propelled grenades can't kill 50 people at once unless they're in a dogpile and even then, some might live 9:53 what were they doing in Finland?

I spent the entire of last night trying to figure out how in the hell you could adapt such a character as this into a military toy line without making it look stupid. Baseball's easy, because he could become a grenadier or MP (baseball bat = nightstick), but football??? The best thing I could come up with was to make him a SWAT, riot control and urban warfare specialist? All you'd have to do is:- 1. Get rid of the silly football grenades and give him a riot shield with M4 carbine and M203 grenade launcher. 2. Replace the green and neon yellow with urban camo grey. He could keep the bars and visor on his helmet in order to protect his face from projectiles. You could also get away with integrating football with building siege tactics.

@@ta0paipai I really like the basic premise of the G.I. Joe franchise, but why they had to rely on giving so many of these characters bright neon colours and silly costumes is beyond me. Yes, it's a kids' toy, but really it's for 10 to 15 year old boys, and they get off on watching films like Predator and Aliens just as much, and those films featured what G.I. Joe characters should've been like! Arnie's team looked and acted like cartoon characters whilst at the same time being believable. Ironically, they even had toys made of their characters, as did the Aliens characters!

@@johnnyfountainS I'm partial to Slice and of course Jinx. But Bushido, Banzai, Dojo, Nunchuk, T'Jbang, and making Scarlett and Firefly into ninja, as well as Snake Eyes's paintball attire was overkill. Ninja Force is not a high point in G.I. Joe.
