Sounds interesting, Good Topic
Cappo MAX.
For a start I have two types of Joe Verse, theres one that exists among the A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard and the other more close to a real world terrorist fight for freedom.
Most of my dio's and stories are played out in date order. (I only started recently with series 1) Involving the original 13 Joes and the early years of cobra
At some point as the stories move on I hope to cover everyone as team members and eventually lead my own joeverse into a newer greater story.
Cobra are and will be on the recruitment drive and I keep tabs on both the rosters.
I see Storm Shadow as a bad guy and bad guy only, I also see Firefly as an Agent hired by Cobra on Missions that they need him.
My joeverse is kind of static right now because of my break away from "the joe world" however it is set to return soon with GIJOE: Series 1: Nerve Ending. Which is the 2nd story in my Series.
The world with the A-Team and DOH is a tad more laid back and open, allowing for cameo appearances by other toylines such as space precinct or star wars.
As for Action Force, they do exist in my original realworld joeverse along with GIJOE, it's just they only combat terrorism and the enemy in the uk/europe regions and regularly have brush ins with the Oktober Guard.
My Action Force team consists of real Action Force and UK Figures., Ripcord is and was never a Joe because he was born in Manchester, UK according to the UK Filecard and so he would only join the joes on a mission transfer (similar to Big Ben). I also have Sparta as part of my Action Force team. Again on International Transfer to the UK. She helps Tidal Wave (Custom) with the counter terrorism and coast guard watch as well as missions for intel and interception.
If I can think of anything else I will add again later. Destro and the IGs are seperate but still supply the bulk of cobra's weapons.
