Anyone have some suggestions on a file card picture? I usually use the datafile pictures but Jammer doesn't seem to have one.

Nice custom! The only colour Jammer pic I know of is from this Jungle Terror cover.

Notice how Gung-Ho is coloured as Gaucho? Very odd.

There are also my humble colourings from the World Enemy No. 1 strip.

And this unofficial cameo in Jungle of Doom.

I'm toying with creating some Datafiles for Jammer, Gaucho and Blades. Is there anyone else missing from the set?

Do you mean Gaucho is colored as Gung Ho?
That is strange.
So those 3 never had their own datafile?
Well here is Jammer's file card:

I changed his birthplace so that he has a British background. Note that London is the sister city to New York, original Jammer's birthplace. ;)
You know there are some spelling mistakes on Jammer's bio...

Yep sorry, Gaucho as Gung-Ho. I suspect it'll have been something like Hasbro provided the Battle comic staff with the wrong model, a theory that stems from them using the old sculpt Red Wolf and Dolphin on the 2nd wave Datafiles.

Just to clarify, Gaucho, Jammer and Blades didn't have their own Battle comic Datafiles (unless I missed them when scanning), but they did have bios on the toy packaging. Here is Jammer's official filecard from the Command Centre blueprints.

Nice Gaucho is also on my to do list.
After seeing that comic page I'm stuck between 2 choices.
My first choice was just to rename this Gung Ho... http://www.yojoe.com/action/05/gungho16.shtml
That Gaucho in the comic has an anchor on his hat much like... http://www.yojoe.com/action/07/gungho18.shtml
I've got both of the different 25th Anniversary versions.
I like my :AFLogo: AF/Red Shadow characters not to resemble their G.I. Joe/Cobra counterparts much.

The 1991 Stalker head is a very good choice! Gives Jammer a very cheesy, but very cool, grin.

:gaucho:
Oh I had one of those that I was going to use as Gaucho. He is perfect! Unfortunately the one I bought came with a stripped back screw so I couldn't replace the o-ring. That one figure has been eluding me for quite a while now. :(
