So, I'm finally done with my At tomahawk thanks to cobrastickers (better than original stickers btw), and I have the blue cp wild bill and pilot Scarlett to fly her. I am planning on making a big adventure team, but am coming up blank for names/backstories. I am using the Jp bearded guy as my team leader ( he's the one guy I have backstory for- joe Colton's long lost/feels neglected son who carries a pearl handle desert eagle as an fu to his dad who gave his Patton gun to rb). I want to use the face tattooed guy as a somoan member and have the animal planet sub to use and the tru 3pak orange torpedo as diver. What are your at members/names/backstories? What are your at suggestions?

I remember hearing a story where Joe Colton enlisted a young helicopter pilot to help him capture a criminal. I've always thought of this pilot being Duke's dad or uncle, and from there a connection to the 80s team could be brought in. At the same time, a cousin of Duke's has joined the modern AT.

I've also had a ninja as a part of the team.

My Adventure Team is another branch of GI Joe that investigates discoveries around the world and gains access as a scientific research team. If you've ever read James Rollins Sigma Force series, you'll know what I'm going for. Somehow they always end up fighting some bad guys, usually Cobra related and they have to do it with just what they brought along. The figures I made for the team are consistent with no visible guns and only a few have knives visible. I wanted this team to be able to portray a purely research team with no direct military tie in, although its no secret that they are funded by GI Joe.


Joe Colton leads the team. Brought out of retirement for this assignment, he is the definitive field commander, and his name still gets attention around the world.

Tollbooth is the teams primary driver and uses his engineering background to assist in traversing the untamed wildernesses, and getting out of impossible situations. Strong and silent, he is Colton's right hand man in the field. He drives the team's scout HumVee called The Explorer.

Alpine is a true adventurer and this assignment fits him better than the traditional battlefield. When the team has to advance by foot, Alpine shows them the way, whether repelling into an open canyon or climbing vertical cliffs. His background as an accountant also proves worthwhile and he keeps The Adventure Team's well funded and under budget.

Bazooka was brought along with Alpine. He is the team's muscle and is also the team's master of arms, so to speak. While every member has their own personal weapons, Bazooka keeps track of the heavy stuff and keeps it well out of sight of prying eyes. But when it comes to a fight, Bazooka is the first to bring out the big guns. Also serves as the the driver of the team's research lab on wheels, The Discovery.

Nightinggale is Colton's daughter and she is a top notch field nurse with a paramedic and flight nurse background. She joined GI Joe hoping to assist on the battlefield but Colton made sure she got this assignment. There is some resentment of that towards her father, but she secretly enjoys every adventure she spends with him.

Dial-Tone is the team's communications expert, naturally. No matter the environment, he is able to maintain contact with GI Joe. It is also his responsibility to keep the electronics operating properly in The Discovery.

Scoop is on the team with the primary task of documenting their research and discovery. He has also proved useful is providing undercover operations when necessary.

The Discovery is the ROCC with a new purpose. After proving too cumbersome on the traditional battlefield, The Adventure Team took the ROCC for their own. It serves as living quarters, research lab, and tank when needed. The hidden weapons systems are a plus and the amount of usability crammed into the small area is astounding. And the quick launch escape jet has came in handy as well.

The Explorer is a simple HumVee that hauls a lot of the extra equipment needed, can pull a trailer, and serves as transportation when The Discovery is just too big. It also scouts the way when breaking new ground with Tollbooth behind the wheel.
