I've always been a fan of realism. I like my stuff to look like it COULD happen, even on a team with no discernible uniform.
That said, it's difficult to find a "realistic" situation for Bazooka, but he's too cool to NOT use. The same holds true for a lot of Cobra troops, Night Creepers and IGs. Plus, I've gotta' say that if Hasbro came out with the old blue and orange Alley Vipers in the 25th style, you'd see them ALL OVER my shots. Even now I think those are some of the coolest figures to ever come out of Hasbro... unrealistic paint scheme and all.
So, while I'm a big fan of realism, I have no problem putting characters in situations they're not necessarily "dressed" for... providing I like said characters
Have fun!!!

Holy crap! There were five troop builders in 1985 - what am I getting myself into!?!
