As a kid I ranked and organized my figures in a similar way. Futron minifigs were
the elite or commanders of the color represented.
Yellow = enlisted personel, grunts, mechanics, infantry, low skill jobs ( I had too
many yellows)
Blue = engineers, skilled officers, scientists, strategists, the brains of the
outfit (always figured I'd be a blue)
Red = pilots (there uniforms were to loud to be out in the field)
Black = elite infantry, (navy seal or green beret types, always the best armed)
White = command (the politians of the bunch, would not bother to stain uniform to
help yellow)
Futrons = highest ranking person of that unit. Commanders of subsections
Blacktrons = well, these were the bad guys, one blacktron well equiped equalls 10
yellows, or 5 blacks
(wow that sounded bad)
I wonder what other people came up with. I loved those minifig packs, cool droid
and 1 of each color.
