Design notes:
- This version of Rampage is based on
Rampage v2
, and not on the
Heavy Metal repaint
released in 1985. I also went with the unmasked, black-clad depiction on the card art as the basis for the composite photo, and not the re-coloured Beach Head which was the actual toy. Rampage v2's name and birthplace were actually based on comic book artist Walter McDaniel's (now living in Hong Kong, last I heard). I went a bit further and based his post-secondary education info on McDaniel's as well.
- Scanning the organizational document, I realized that I never replaced Tunnel Rat's position as an EOD NCO when I moved him to the Direct Action Element. Wreckage fit the bill specialty-wise, and he's also one of the few Hispanic/Latino Joes (the Hispanic/Latino population is severely under-represented in the Joe team -- actual demographic data shows that Hispanic/Latino operatives are the largest visible/cultural/linguistic minority in the USSOCOM community). Wreckage is a straight up reinterpretation of the original figure. Only real change I incorporated was to specify his branch of service as Air Force, mostly just so it coordinates with his tiger striped uniform. I also noticed in his original filecard that he's an OPFOR operative, and I figured that making him Air Force would be a good rationalization, since the Air Force does have a permanent, full-time OPFOR unit assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing.
I'm also thinking of making
Sabretooth
as an "Easter Egg" character.
Feel free to click on the Filecard Project link in my signature to read the full filecards.
Great update Zulu. Who's head did you use for Rampage?
