Tripwire and Torpedo




I'll give others a chance to chime in..............

Tripwire and Torpedo ?

You know I MIGHT have been channelling MY Joeverse on that one!! But hey, it does work!! :p

Leatherneck and wetsuit? I thought they were into that whole Navy vs Marines thing!!

Oh come on!!! Did you NEVER watch the cartoon?!?!!?!??!?!?!?!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I always got the impression from the comics that Duke and Roadblock were pals. They sure hung out a lot together, anyway.

On the show, I felt that Duke and Flint were pretty tight too, on the rare occasions that they appeared in episodes together.

on the cartoon-Mutt and Dusty


in the comic-Mutt and Spirit

Actually, IIRC Duke apparently served together Roadblock and Flint prior to them joining GI JOE. In issue 22 Roadblock clearly knows Duke well. I'll have to check the comics when I'm at home, but I'm pretty sure Duke knew Flint and all but recruited him to join GI JOE.

Which would make for an interesting flashback story, if anyone cared about characters' origins other than those of ninjas and dreadnoks.

Another briefly seen duo...Short-Fuze and Steeler in the MASS device miniseries.

Let's not (or try to :p ) forget Tunnel Rat and Heavy Duty in Sigma Six.

Yeah, you're right. I believe Flint's filecard makes note of his having served with Duke previously. Also, in the issue with Flint's first appearance, Duke mentions that he specifically asked for Flint to be transferred back under his command.

Regarding Roadblock-- In G.I. Joe: Declassified, a nameless sergeant runs a special forces school at which Short-Fuze is a student. The sergeant is accompanied by a man who is obviously Roadblock. Coupled with the fact that Duke's filecard says he ran several special forces schools before joining the Joes, that makes me think the sergeant in the issue is supposed to be Duke. Therefore, Roadblock was apparently under Duke's command at one of the schools he ran.



Oh man, I can't believe I forgot that! They were teamed in the Revenge of Cobra too, guarding the Laser Core at Joe HQ. I loved those two team-ups. Good comic relief.
