GI Joe ROC movie Discussion Thread !! SPOILERS!!

[Lord_Zed]

There's an offical movie book? is it any good?

I got the Transformers visual guide, it was pretty average, the Star wars ones were better. I like books with decent pics of props costumes and CGI renderings.

I managed to confrim they were a little bit different from some of the promo pics on the web, now I'm trying to recall if they had standard balistic rifles or those other wierd wave guns.

And what is the ranking with all these guys, we have a Viper Commando, Neo, Ice and eventualy Elite. So where is the standard Viper trooper? I would have thought the Elite one looks the most standard, as there were plenty of the black masked cannon fodder types in the movie. Though I'm not quite sure which is the more elite of the Neo and Commando, they both seem pretty well equiped. In my personal universe I assume the Neo Vipers are nano-boosted ultimate unquestioning solider types (like the movie, or Bruiticus in transformers) and the Commandos are more independent, and unorthadox soliders.

No idea where the Nano Viper would fit in.

As a Cobra fan these things are of interest to me, As a kid I always tried to figure out the original series Viper rankings, I always assumed it was something like.

Crimson Guard Immortals
Crimson Guards
Geneticly enhanced Vipers eg: Hydro Vipers, Star Viper
Troopers that advanced from other grades eg:Snow Serpents, Alley Vipers
Specalist Vipers
Vipers
Cobra Troopers
Tox Vipers
