Battle Armor CC went from being able to take hits from a .357 magnum to a .367 magnum. :

Yeah, I was relying on info off the GI Joe Wiki. That'll teach me.

Here's a comparison of the original '82 team's file cards and their 25A incarnations. I only have six, haven't found Rock 'n Roll or Grunt, and I don't know when Steeler, Clutch and their respective vehicles will be out. I'll try and get to the '83 and later Joes and Cobra later.

These are just the differences between the original '82 cards and the 25A cards. Obvious changes like Breaker being renamed Cpl. Breaker are omitted.

Breaker
SN: is changed from RA757793518 to 757-79-AR35.
SECONDARY MILITARY SPECIALTY (SMS): Communications Technology added.
"CPL. BREAKER is the GI JOE team's communication expert, making him the crucial link between battlefield and headquarters. He's familiar with battle field technology that helps the team monitor COBRA activity." added to the first part of the bio paragraph, the rest is unchanged.

Flash
Under Qualified Expert: "XMLR-1A (Shoulder-Fired Laser Rifle) is changed to XMLF-1A (Shoulder Laser Rifle)

Hawk
Missle Commander changed to General.
SN: changed from RA212754036 to 142-27-CM46
Primary Military Specialty (PMS) changed from Artillery to Strategic Command Operations.
SMS: changed from Radar to Artillery.
Grade changed from 0-6 to 0-8 (Major General)
Bio paragraph and personal details completely re-written.

Scarlett
The beginning of the first paragraph of her bio is changed from "Scarlett's father..." to "Her father..." The rest is unchanged.

Snake Eyes
unchanged.

Stalker
The sentence "SGT. Stalker is one of the original members of the GI JOE team." has been added to the beginning of the bio paragraph. The sentence "Stalker was warlord of a large urban street gang prior to enlistment" has been re-written "Prior to enlistment, he was warlord of a large urban street gang."
The rest is unchanged.

Thanks MarkM, '53!

Working through more here...

Snow Job:

1) '83 FC: "Qualified Expert: all NATO long range sniper rifles...". 25A FC: "Qualified Expert: all NATO long range marksman rifles..."
2) '83 FC: "Submitted by Rock 'n Roll:...". 25A FC: "Submitted by GUNG-HO:...". This change could be a nod to the events of Marvel issue 11.

Crimson Guard:

1) '85 FC: "All Sieges must hold a degree in either law or accounting as well as being in top physical condition." 25A FC: "All Sieges must hold a degree in either law or accounting and must be in top physical condition."
2) '85 FC: "Crimson Guardsmen are too precious...". 25A FC: "Crimson Guard Troopers are too precious..."

IG Destro

1) '88 FC states specialty as "Leader of the Iron Grenadiers & Weapons Manufacturer". 25A FC states Primary Military Specialty as "Weapons Manufacturer"
2) '88 FC: "Once a major supplier and advisor to Cobra, Destro now pursues his own diabolical aims. Building up a small army of Iron Grenadiers from his...". 25A FC: "Once a major supplier and advisor to the Cobra organization, Destro now pursues his own diabolical aims. Building up a small army of Iron Grenadier troopers from his..."
3) '88FC: "One of Destro's ancestors...". 25A FC: "One of his ancestors..."

That's a curious change, because Scarlett's card still says she went to Marine Sniper School.

Rock 'N Roll:

The only change is in the personal details paragraph where instead of being concerned about his teammates "well being" he is now concerned about their "wellbeing."
