I am disappointed that the vehicle drivers won't have the same articulation as the figures. That means they won't be used and will just be set aside.
I love the Ninja Combat Cruiser too, but apparently not as much as Troynos. ;-)
But I cant tell if I need 2 or 3 of them to support my Urban Operations A-Team, codenamed: Steel Brigade. Guess that depends on if the back is cluttered with junk, (the snow cat missle launcher rack) or if I can fit a trooper or 2 back there.
Yeah, I was excited about Clutch and the Ninja Combat Cruiser driver how they have the looks of PMC. But then when i looked closer at the leg articulation, I got sad. Now I guess they will join the ranks of the "True Heroes" PMC box.
The AWE Striker is a bit off with the missle launcher, but it will still work. Im using it for Mega-Marines Squad, under 1st Platoon of Sgt Slaughter & Lt Torpedo. Im trying to find a moniker for 1st Platoon. Any Suggestions?
My breakdown of Squads for 1st Platoon:
-1st Squad Mega Marines (Gung-Ho, Leatherneck, Wetsuit, Mirage and Snake Doc [Lincoln Talbot]) + Torpedo
-2nd Squad Renegades (Mercer, Red Dog, Taurus, Barbecue and Blast Off) + Sgt Slaughter
-3rd Squad Marauders (Lowlight, Spirit, Footloose, Clutch and Bullhorn) + Mutt
I did rotate some of the personel around to make it 5 troops + 1 command/staff per "Squad". I augmented this Platoon with Torpedo, Leatherneck, Wetsuit, Snake Doc and Bullhorn. I thought they seemed to keep the amphibious nature of this Platoon intact. I wanted Torpedo to lead this unit rather than Falcon, because I thought Falcon would be a better Tiger Force 18A.
Planned or current Vehicles for 1st Platoon:
-1st Squad:
3 AWE Strikers
-2nd Squad:
1 (Dont know what Sgt Slaughter will utilize yet... LAV, or the Warthog, but some Amphibious vehicle, if not he can always ride on the back of the...)
1 Snowcat (Amphibious)
3 Armadillos
-3rd Squad:
VAMP 1500 (original Vamp)
VAMP 4500 (Walmart generic armored vehicle)
I know this isnt quite perfect to the real world. But its what I got in my Joe-verse and my knowledge of what small part of the military I was exposed to... And knowing is half the battle, GI JOE.
