Filecard information:
CODE NAME: FROSTBITE
TIGER CAT DRIVER
File Name: Seward, Farley, S.
SN: 215-58-9136
Primary Military Specialty: Tiger Cat *Driver
Secondary Military Specialty: Artillery
Birthplace: Galena, Alaska
Grade: E-4
FROSTBITE was born in a place where summer is a myth and a crowd consisted of two people standing on the same acre. He worked briefly as a lineman on the pipeline, but found the job unchallenging despite the 40 degrees below zero temperature and hazardous conditions. The Army promised to give him a challenge whenever he wanted one. After he took his oath to Uncle Sam, he went to Transportation School where he learned how to drive every known vehicle used by the United States Armed Forces. Frostbite thought he had it made being stationed in Greenland, but then he was tapped for duty on Tiger Force and all that changed! Now he's barrelling over sand dunes in the Sahara Desert rather than smashing through snow banks in the Arctic Circle!
"Battling Cobra Toxo-Vipers in temperatures over 113 degrees is like fighting them in a furnace, but somehow that "frost jockey" from the north keeps his cool! I saw him pulverize a full-scale attack by a battalion of enemy troops just by firing his Tiger Cat's main gun batteries at the center of their ranks! With guys like him over there, we have nothing to worry about!"

Of the 10 Tiger Force Joes, 8 were pure repaints. Skystriker and Duke were a mix of a couple previous figures' parts.
Frostbite is a repaint of the 1985 original.
