Here are the last two Dreadnoks (I've already made the original three + Monkeywrench, Thrasher, Zanzibar and Road-Pig... they're in my Picasa album and I'm not making the Dreadheads... I don't really consider them "canon"):
Burnout and Gnawgahyde
Design notes:
I don't really know much about Burnout apart from what's written in his filecard. He showed up during that period between ARAH and the 25th Anniversary figures where I absolutely had no interest in GI Joe comics or the toys. Anyway, I couldn't make heads or tails of what his upper garment was supposed to be, so I went ahead and gave him an M81-pattern sleeveless shirt instead. Seems odd to me that a black guy would be on the Dreadnoks... I always thought that there was a little white supremacist/racist undertone to the Dreadnoks (as is common in many--but not all--outlaw biker gangs, at least the ones in my area do). But whatever. Anyway, I thought it was pretty ironic that I ended up using Lennox Lewis' head for Burnout, as I think Mike Tyson might have been something of an inspiration for the character (seeing as how they're both bruisers from Catskill, New York).
Gnawgahyde came out near the end of my ARAH collecting days, so I'm not particularly fond of the character. Still, I think the character's design is pretty neat (although handlebar moustache + fab leopard-print vest raises all sorts of questions about his uh, private life
). He's pretty well-armed for a Dreadnok, and I think the warthog (was it ever given a name?) adds a lot of character to the guy. Seriously, who keeps a warthog as a pet? Never owned the action figure for that matter, but with that vest of his, I think I would have used him as an alternative-universe version of Ferris Bueller
Thanks for looking!
