Eeeeh. They would've needed to change that head to sell me on this. I thought the SB helmet was the shizzle back then, but the Retaliation Trooper's "old Robert Patrick with a mohawk" look is definitely not one I'd have sought out then for my superawesome marysue guy that Hasbro will totally make for me, nor is it now.

Agreed. I should have clarified..the retaliation Trooper with his helmet *on* would have been great as a kid. I have no use for the mohawk head lol. In fact..the original steel brigade figure body with the Retaliation Trooper helmet in matching colors would have been awesome.

If we're still collecting data on SB and CAC filecards....
I found out the Action Force Steel Brigade filecard is different today:

It adds three "Physical Skills" to the vital statistics and it has a stamp of approval from Hawk.

And I found two CAC auctions with very large filecard scans... Hopefully it can be a start for documenting them:

Great stuff. I'll add this to my lists.

Whats up with the Cobra guy? The file card looks like it barely has anything on it and it comes with stickers instead of a iron on patch? -_-

I never heard of Micro Force, apparently they have a Steel Brigade Micro Force collectable.

Well, that helped a little. Here is what I have for the Create-a-Cobra:

TRAITS (2 of 3)
NAME likes to make his own decisions, takes sole credit for his actions if they are successful. Thinks of himself before his comrades, a typical trait for most Cobra soldiers.

An aggressive nature makes NAME a natural fighter. Cand be counted on to stand his ground, even when dangerously outnumbered.

ABILITIES (2 of 4)
Big decisions give NAME the feeling of power he constantly craves. Always trying to move up the Cobra ranks, he's not afraid to give orders to fellow troopers.

Attacks on G.I. Joe bas camps can take hours of exhausting work, but no one lasts longer than NAME. His trigger finger never gets tired!

PERSONALITY (1 of 4)
G.I. Joe soldiers are respected as fearless fighter, but if there's one Cobra capable of causing them to think twice about attacking, NAME is the one.

Btw, I've always wondered why some Steel Brigade filecards had two Martial Arts and some had three. Here is why:

There were three applications. The application next to the Cobra Wolf has the option to choose three Martial Arts.

Oh, neat.

I've yet to see an SB filecard with only two martial arts, though. Only application forms.

Good point. All the ones I have saved (including my own) has three.

Hey guys, skinny over on yojoe gave me this link. Might be a start for a generator if somebody knew how to do that.

Here's the sheet with all the choices:

Ah, big bummer that the single choices he shared for Create-A-Cobra are ones we already had handy...

I'm not much of a code monkey but I'm sure if the font can be matched, the existing Filecard Creator can be tweaked to become a Steel Brigade sign-up sheet...

I think we should also update the skills and background elements we can choose from because like I said before if the martial arts that I named had existed when I got mine I would have picked them, I am a huge fan of Russian style martial arts.
