List of Army Men series characters

This is a list of fictional characters from the Army Men franchise.

[edit] Green Army

Sarge (SGT. Hawk) - The main (player controlled) character of the series. Initially represented in the PC games as just another nameless trooper, Sarge however sees several redesigns through the series. Initially he is given little more than a handful of men and a set of orders from HQ, but in later games, especially Sarge's Heroes, he is seemingly given command of large factions of the Green Army and idolized as a super trooper commanding entire battle fronts with his elite squad of combat engineers from Bravo Company.^[1] Character design later changes to reflect an almost cartoony war veteran look, complete with chin clefts and a nose bandage.^[2]

Colonel Jack Grimm - Officer Commanding, Bravo Company - thusly Sarge's direct Commanding Officer. In Sarge's Heroes it is stated that he adopted Sarge, but the manual of Army Men stated that Sarge remembered being told stories by his father.^[3] Col. Grimm also had a daughter named Vikki Grimm.^[2] He makes minor appearances in the Sarge's Heroes series, Air Tactics and Army Men: RTS. Depicted as a sympathetic officer who has probably seen combat in some forgotten war. ^[2]

Vikki Grimm - The main character of Portal Runner and a supporting character in Sarge's Heroes and Sarge's Heroes 2. She is the daughter of Col. Jack Grimm, and the main love interest of Sarge (which would be odd considering the possibility that Col. Grimm adopted Sarge).^[2] She was also a reporter for Green Plastic News.^[4] She is depicted as a flesh coloured doll rather than being a single moulded colour like the soldiers.^[1]

Tina Tomorrow - The leader of the Galactic Army. She only appears in Army Men: Toys in Space. After crash landing her space craft, she is quickly overwhelmed by Tan forces. Saved by Sarge, she then pledges an alliance between the Green and Galactic armies to free the universe of all evil.^[5]

Captain William (Bill) Blade - A Green helicopter pilot and the leader of the Alpha Wolf Squadron. He was the main character in the games Air Tactics, Air Combat, and Air Combat 2. Capt. Blade sports a cowboy hat bearing the mark of the Union Cavalry.^[6] A member of the Airborne Cavalry, Blade is the player character of all the helicopter games. Main duties involving either transporting Sarge's men or providing aerial fire support to assist Sarge's ground operations.^[6] He makes a cameo appearance in Sarge's Hero's 2 when he destroys a Tan tank for Sarge.

Omega Soldier - A super-soldier spliced from the DNA of all five members of Bravo Company. Shortly after his creation, Plastro tries to have his Tan army capture Omega Soldier.^[7] He makes his only appearance in Army Men: Green Rogue for the Sony Playstation and Playstation 2.

Each member of Sarge's five-man squad was based off a classic army men pose.^[2]

Riff - The anti-tank specialist of Bravo Company, he was Sarge's best friend.^[2] Riff's character almost appears to be a spoof on early war movies and the obvious political attempts to always include a healthy mix of racial backgrounds. He is typically depicted carrying an M1 Bazooka. ^[1]

Thick - The machine gunner of Bravo Company. Thick's character is the token over-muscled brawn of Bravo Company's A-Team.^[2] He is typically depicted carrying an M60 General Purpose Machine Gun.^[1]

Shrap - The artillery specialist of Bravo Company. Like Lance in Apocalypse Now he is a surfer.^[2] Typically depicted carrying a mortar.^[1]

Scorch - The flame-thrower operator of Bravo Company.^[2] He enjoys melting things, even though he is made of plastic.^[1]

Private Hoover - The mine-sweeper operator of Bravo Company.^[2] He is very nervous, but he is also heroic when he needs to be.^[1]

Bullseye - The marksman of Bravo Company. Introduced in Army Men: RTS, Bullseye wears a leaf on his back and is able to hit targets at extreme range. He is the Ice-Man of Bravo company, always keeping a cool head.^[1]

General Plastro - The main villain of the series, whose name is a play on that of Fidel Castro. He was the leader of the Tan army, although he may have controlled the Grey and Blue armies as well.^[2] In the first games of the series he was seen only in cut-scenes, but in later games he was occasionally seen during the game. Plastro was the first to discover the alternate world and the portals that could take him there.^[2]

Colonel Blintz - An ex-officer in the Green army. Blintz was in charge of a Green-held region when he was shot in the head; the injury was described as a "massive, disfiguring head wound." After that, he disappeared, only to resurface later as a member of Tan's army.^[1] In Army Men: RTS, Blintz is intent on dominating the Real-World and is using Green's own tactics back against them. He is defeated and is a sap about it until Sarge peeled off the paint after beating Blitz up.

Bridgette Bleu - A Blue spy working for General Plastro in Sarge's Heroes 2. She is the main villain of Portal Runner.^[4] Ms. Bleu is also depicted as a fashion doll, though dressed in a blue dress that resembles the female lead/temptress from early detective films.

The Insane Grey Doctor (Dr. Madd) - A Grey scientist who appeared in Army Men 2, Air Tactics, and Sarge's Heroes 2. He is one of the most formidable villains in the series due his experiments, which included a zombie factory (in which the remains of dead plastic soldiers are melted down, and remade into zombies), and giant insects and spiders (a soldier-to-spider machine is seen in Sarge's Heroes). He also created a serum that reverses the effects of plastification (Sarge's Heroes 2) ^[8]

Major Mylar - Another villain in Army Men 2.^[9] Mylar was leading operations in the newly discovered real world and was tasked with leading a large faction of Tan Forces to secure this new territory and eliminate Sarge, who had been trapped. Unfortunately for Mylar, the Green Army was able to send reinforcements and Sarge instead defeated Mylar.

Major Gooding/Lord Malice - Leader of the Heroes when Sarge was a private. During a mission in the kitchen, he was shot and left to die in the kitchen sink. The tan army found him, re-built him, and he took on the identity of "Lord Malice". He detonated a bomb at a Tan/Green Peace ceremony, killing all of the green and tan armies, apart from his personal tan army and Sarge. Sarge then sets out on a mission to destroy him.^[10]
