"Hawk was the original field commander of the GI Joe team until he got his General's star and was booted upstairs to honcho the entire GI Joe Operation. He's a West Point graduate and has a list of special education credits as long as his arm, but he still managed to get the main body of his experience out there where it counts- on the battlefield."

I guess you could say this was a no-brainer, although I almost went in a completely different direction when I first decided to create him. The original accessories from the Hawk 86 figure fit perfectly here and I am very pleased with how well he turned out in all its simplicity.
