I was hoping someone could tell me which issue these guys were in.

Someone just told me, its from #28 (from a story started in #24).

correct. This issue also had the two Florida cops who in a way resembled a mix of Laurel and Hardy and the Sheriff J.W. Pepper from Live and Let Die. A better comparison would be Sheriff Buford T. Justice and Jr. from Smokey and the Bandit.
"Chief and R.L."

Thanks Skinny! I picked up the back issue (don't think I had it). I uploaded a couple better pics to B.A.T. (RAH) - G.I. Joe Wiki - Joepedia - GI Joe, Cobra, toys (http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/B.A.T._(RAH)) also.

I like the idea of having blueshirt androids too for some reason. They may have to be a new custom. I could just do a new head and use my TRU Cobra Infantry guys.

The helmet looks very similar to a Techno-Viper, at least the face front and area around the eyes.
