Default Q: Which Joes Work Best in a Team?

Greetings Mortals!

Okay, this might be a bit strange, maybe more deep than needed for toys, but I do wonder about team cohesiveness in the teams I take photos of. Who works well together, who not to pair together, who's personality might over dominate the others on the team, etc.

As I get back into Joe collecting since the 80's, I find myself questioning the logical choices for various Joe teams I assemble for missions. All the Joes have different personalities, all are professionals, yet in real life there are always personalities that do not mesh well with others in a group. In a reprint of a Marvel comic in the Deep-Six / Rock-n-Roll comic pack, Wild Bill takes offense at the indifference of Deep-Six when Wild Bill complimented him on his flying skills. Wild Bill had to be held back from swinging a punch. In real-life, I work often with programming teams, and although everyone in a team is a professional, there is always someone who doesn't quite work well with the others in the team.

When assembling teams for Joe adventures, do any of you take into account the different personalities, and if any of those personalities might cause conflict in the team? Sometimes I kinda wish there was a chart of who not to pair together with, and those who do work well--of course all depending on the mission. When taking photos of our Joe teams, I often wonder how cohesive that team is. Strange maybe, it also ties in a bit with the company I work for (we do research into team cohesiveness/people profiles).

The GI Joe team is supposed to be the best of the best and as such they are capebale of grabbing themselves by the neck and cooperate even if they dont like eachother very well. There are some exceptions like Deep Six. But for the most part even the Joes with the worst personalities Clutch, Scarlett and Shipwreck comes to mind are willing and able to work as a team when the chips are down.
As for people who I belive would work well together Im thining Gung Ho and Snake Eyes. Stalker and Lowlight. And Flint and Beachead.

WELL IF YOU MEAN CONFLICT, IVE STARTED A THING WITH CROSS COUNTRY AND CLUTCH IN MY DIOS. PARTLY BECAUSE I THINK ITS FUN AND BECAUSE I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING.

NOW, AS FOR PERSONALITIES THAT I THINK WOULDNT WORK WELL TOGETHER. CROSS COUNTRY WOULDNT WORK WELL WITH HARDLY ANYONE, JUST BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS. THE ONLY TWO I SEE HIM WORKING WELL WITH ARE WILD BILL AND THUNDER, HES A REAL BLACK SHEEP. I ALSO DONT BELIEVE QUICK KICK AND SHIPWRECK SHOULD EVER BE TOGETHER UNLESS ITS IN BATTLE. I ADMIT I USED THEM BOTH IN ONE OF MY DIOS. BUT AS I SEE THEM BOTH FROM THE CARTOONS(IF YOU DONT NEITHER HAVE ANY PERSONALITY) ITS TO HARD TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM TOGETHER AS THEIR BOTH COMICAL. I ALSO DONT BELIEVE DUSTY WOULD WORK WELL WITH EITHER QK OR SHIPWRECK.

AS FOR WORKING WELL TOGETHER THERE ARE SOME REAL GOOD ONES. ALPINE AND BAZOOKA, CLUTCH AND ROCK & ROLL AS EVERYONE KNOWS. I ALSO LIKE WILD BILL AND CROSS COU
NTRY, AND LOVE QUICK KICK AND SPIRIT.

I can see all my Joes working together. But some I use to have most in pair.

Wet Suit and Tracker;
Sure Fire, Shockwave and Barricade;
Low Light and Snake Eyes;
Falcon, Sidetrack, Recondo and Duke;
Hit n' Run, Footloose and Beachhead.

I can maybe think about some more, but it is enough for now.
