Wow, maybe I'm just partial to the theme, but I find that the Classified Tripwire is completely awesome. He gets a robot drone and a rat, plus a heavy armor kit. Obviously I'd want a mini nuke too to defuse, but I'm over the top like that.
When I was a kid, everyone else I knew used him for an extra driver or pilot. Because, well, what can you do with the guy, at least the 80s version. Also no one I knew lost those little mines. I inherited a Tripwire from someone else, and he managed not to lose all the mines, and when I had him for X number of years, I didn't lose them either. I lost plenty of other accessories though.
Tormod S. Skoog! ( That's Finnish? Scottish?)
EDIT: I remember I used to play with another kid, we played Joes all the time. He always got the new ones. So I'd ask him to save the file cards and assemble them before I came over. Because I wanted to read them. I remember one time he had a figure he got from someone else, so he didn't have the filecard, so we got some paper and tried to write one out. So much fun. No taxes, no responsibilities, no expectations, no in laws, no obligations, no sitting in traffic, no getting excited at good produce at the farmer's market, no mortgage, no boss, none of that mess. Just hours making up ways to blow these guys up.
#### growing up. There, I said it.
