Uhmm Roadblock was the Heavy WEAPON Expert, aka he had a .50 cal to lug around.
The ordnance expert was Tripwire and I believe one other later on...you know the more they mess with this the more I think they should just not make this one as a live action movie...

Cover Girl

Big Ben
*Killed during the Devil's Due run. Many Joe fans are ignoring the Devil's Due deaths, particularly those that took place during the Red Shadows arc.
**None of the guys from Sky Patrol were listed as vehicle operators, and so fans have begun assuming that all members of the team could operate any of the vehicles in the Sky Patrol fleet. As this included the Sky Havoc, that would make them all armor.

Didn't Wild Bill pilot the Dragonfly? I don't recall him being in any armor...
Then again I am going of the 80s stuff, prior to all of the "Shuttle Craft" and mixing in of this and that...

The 2002 Spy Troops movie had Wild Bill and a computer guy known as High-Tech operating the prototype Patriot Grizzly tank. As a tie-in, the second production wave of PG toys came with a Wild Bill figure, thus establishing him as a tank driver.

Way to change the original setup for what was the starting line up via the cartoon/comic...

The Spy Troops movie, to put it simply, was regarded as a joke by a number of older fans; even Hasbro wound up distancing itself a little bit from the Spy Troops movie when Valor vs. Venom's little movie came out, as things were either toned down or parodied.
I myself am actually writing down plot summaries for how I'd like to see a Joe cartoon get handled; while it'd follow off of the VvV movie, I'm playing it a little closer to reality. Shoot me an e-mail address and I'll send you what I have.
BTW, I forgot that Gung-Ho should go under the list of Joe artilleryman; he was packed in as the driver of the 1997 re-release of the Slugger.
