TOP 10 GIJOES I WANT TO SEE IN THE MOVIE:
Note: Like with Cobra, I'd like to stick to these designs, more or less. Personally, they can take liberities with all but Snake-Eyes. Slightly tweak, is ok... but he should remain the same 98%.
2) SPIRIT
3) GUNG HO
4) SCARLET
5) SNAKE-EYES (Snake-Eyes II version w/Timber!)
6) BEACH HEAD
7) LADY JAYE
8) ROCK N' ROLL
9) OUTBACK (what?)
10) ROADBLOCK
Yeah, just stuck to the 10... as a kid, I was never really into the Joe side. Outside of Snake-Eyes, the rest were pretty boring. Cobra was where it was at! The above were the only Joes I semi-cared for and are the ones I'd like to see on the Silver Screen.
"No Duke, Jim?"
Nah... he always seemed like the a-hole jock, pretty boy prom king.
Issues? What?

Thank you for excluding Shipwreck and his dumb talking parrot.
I heart shipwreck. The parrot I could live with only if a sniper takes it out in the first 30 seconds of the film.
I only remember five of the ten you mentioned.
Which ones, Scott? WHICH ONES?!!! :)
Flint, Gun Ho, Scarlet, Snake-Eyes, and Beach Head
Spirit was in the 3rd year batch of Joes (alongside Firefly, Storm Shadow, Duke, Baroness...). He was the token Native American with an Eagle as a pet/sidekick. From what I remember, he was actually a pretty cool character and despite the above was not too terribly stereotypical... then again, that might have been MY take on the character as a kid added to fuzzy memory.
Lady Jaye came a bit later, in Year 4... she and Flint were a romantic item. She became one of the main characters during the cartoon's 2nd season, pushing Scarlet to the side. In the comic, tho, I don't think was as major a character.
Rock N' Roll was one of the first GIJoes, baby! Back when all the Joes were in plain green fatigues, he stood out cause of his badass ammo belts! (Flash was another that stood out and unfortunately didn't make the Top 10)

Outback... yeah, most don't remember him and I should have been too old to have known him. But its no secret I'm a big dork. But he had that generic "outdoor warrior" look about him. Plus he came with a "Rambo knife". Sold!
Roadblock...another 3rd year character. He was the first Black Joe and a big badass.
