| Notes:
- The issue is notably missing a profile for Clutch, who was a more important character to the series than many of the other Joes included.
- Crank-Case's profile lists him as the "Rampage Driver", instead of AWE Striker driver.
- Cross-Country's profile lists him as the "Rhino Driver", though the text below correctly mentions the HAVOC. Also, his file name is "Arlen W. Slaughter", instead of the Hasbro card's "Robert Blais". Interestingly, with this name and his rank, Cross-Country could be called Sergeant Slaughter.
- Cutter's profile is a much longer version of the action figure filecard. The text of the Hasbro version is simply edited to fit the same information in a smaller space. Cutter's Hasbro name "Skip A. Stone" is listed here as "Skip (no middle initial) Stone". Unique to this profile is this section: "Alternate code names: Speed-Boat, Drydock, Hurricane, Cruiser". These were likely names considered by Hama or Hasbro before a final decision was made.
