Here's a list of the original prototype dossiers names for some of the original vintage figures ('82 through '94)
I was doin' this list for myself and I think it's a good idea to put it right here too...
It's a good source if you are interested in Joe history or just to find inspiration for a name for your new custom job!
The credit goes mainly to Mark Bellomo; some of these names comes from his book: The Ultimate Guide To G.I. Joe 82-94 and from some other sources! So if you don't have the book... you'll have the chance to see them here! :wink:
Feel free to add some names to this list if you find something else!
Please feel free to discuss about this subject here!!

I wonder how long they spent discussing Cobra Commander's Prototype name!

I thought Dr. Mindbender's prototype name was Dr. Brain-Wave?He had a lot. The few listed by Shark come from some documentation I myself have as well, an early version of his filecard that gives him a more mysterious past full of theories as how he came to be.

some of those are blatantly place-holders, but there's some others that seem plausible alternatives...Cool! One could use some of those for custom figure/character names. ;D
