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.

This may be rehashing an old topic, but has anyone ever thought about what each
color might mean for the old space mini-figs?  Here's my theory:

Yellow= Pilots- they always seemed to be the figs that came with spaceships

White= Technicians- they played the support role in most pictures involving
ships.

Blue= Scientists- They were the figs with the labs and the Uranium search
vehicle.

Red= Command- they came with the command base and command vehicles

Black= I can't really figure these guys out.  My thoughts were either gaurds,
GI, or high command. What I eventually came up with was that they represented
the ministry of internal mini-fig affairs which was like the secret service.
This is supported by the fact that the first space police were black mini-figs
because, obviously, the ministry felt that just having agents in the field was
not enough what with all that uranium going back and forth.

Have a look over at Fibblesnork and tell me what you think.
