[Vanishing Point]

In the closing events of Cobra La, A squad of Assorted Vipers that where loyal to Cobra Commander attempted to retrieve him in his Snake form from the ensuing chaos, in their efforts they encountered Zartan and the 'Noks attemping to escape with anything they could get their hands on When the BET when critical the backlash triggered an effect in the Dragonfire Crystal given to Zartan by Pythona. Slight mutagentic changes not unlike but not as extreme as those Cobra La was formed from. It eccelarated Zartan's skin condition but made his cloaking and visual abilities natural. Each of the Vipers dominant feats where amplified. Faster, Stronger, with animalistic cunning.... the Python Patrol was born.

Python Patrol Crimson Guard:
Codename: Lyre

Among the Crimson Guards he was an unknown unknown, nothing of true exception neither good nor bad. He had an unnatural aversion to cameras, notably he is remembered as"Tthe face of Cobra" at the attack on Liberty Island for assaulting a News Reporter. Like his squadmates his exposure to the Dragonfire Crystal amplified his inborn abilities at the cost of amplifying his most negative features as well. His attention to detail is remarkable as if time seems to stop for a moment at a time for him to investigate every single thing before anyone else, ie CSI vison/bullettime reaction, allowing him to be able to go toe to toe with evenSnakeeyes for awhile at least.... His always calm disposition can fool most forms of lie detectors, drugs and interrogation, no one can tell if he is telling the truth or llying, not even himself, all the lies have folded into and on top of eachother, with little chance of decoding them, the effect increases the closer to their power source and again there is something else he seems to hide at all times.

Scoop:
Information specialist
Scoop's addition to the team was more/less a forced note to shed light on what and where the Joe team was and what their actual role in the world was. To in many ways silence the doubt that Cobra really existed. His induction was shortly after the events in Cobra La. During Operation Dragonfire his intel was almost predenatural. No detail goes unnoticed by him or his cameras, he was an observer sent by Hawk with Duke's covert ops project Tiger Force, where he and his team assumed false identities and traveled as a regular Army battalion in order to maintain a low profile while tracking the Sierro Gordo operatives that cost the lives of several Joes. Again later he followed the escapades of Sgt Slaughter and a hand picked team he called the marauders that traveled to known abandoned Cobra bases and made sure no one could use anything left behind to further their fight while putting some of their own tech to good use. Lowlight has little patience for him and even less for his constant whistling.

Action Force's enemy Baron Ironblood led an army that rivaled that of the Nazis and The Grand Siberian combined, among his ranks where his most trusted loyal and dedicated if not brainwashed compnions... They where the Red SHadows, The Lethal Creator of the eliminator Laser system known only as The Red Laser. His loyalty so devout that in recognition of such, his image was copied to the form of every trooper in the Red Shadows

Legend say that it was Baron Ironblood that betrayed them to his Action Force enemies and the UN, as a mear cover to build a new empire without the roots to other controllers, hushed rumors say that the Baron and Cobra Comander are the same man, others feel it to be more of a passing of mantles from one dread pirate to another.... reguardless The RedLaser embittered seeks revenge be it on Action Force, GI Joe, Cobra or anyone else fool enough to get in his crosshairs

In the final race of the International Race Circuit the cease fire between MASK and Venom came to an end when Maximillion Mayhem was killed in a trap he had set for Matt Trakker. Enraged Miles Mayhem calls upom his recently extradited Father's assistance. The assault on Boulder Hill by the Iron Anvil squad of the Iron Grenadiers under the command of General Mayhem was everything short of perfection. The base was destroyed and members including Hondo where killed defending the base. In a defining moment of courage T-Bob intercepted a missle buying time for Dusty to escape with the intended target, Matt's son Scott. All of the original MASKS as well as the Clone, Split Decisions and new era Masks are now in the control of Miles. The only one remaining is the prototype Spectrum mask Matt Trakker's Brother hid at Starlight Studios in the care of Emmett Benton. Now in hiding all remaining member of MASK have made it thier duty to protect Scott, while Matt has made it his duty to destroy this newly accepted splinter cell of Cobra, using his contact with HiTech to join the Joe team as an advisor and diversionary tactician.

Matt's construction is

Head: Arctic Duke, sculpted hair

Wooh!!

Hey, some of those are new to me!! Noice!!

^_^

[ceraurus]

Wow! Those are terrific! You can really tell all the time and care you must put into those. Thanks for sharing.

[A.V.A.C.]

wow, those are beautiful. i kinda miss sigma six, especially after seeing those. that avac is amazing, what aircraft is that? thanks for sharing!

[Vanishing Point]

it's a max steel jet that splits into a road slide... thingie

[meleeinabox]

Wow, you pretty much have the whole RAH line in Sigma form :)

What was used for the water moccasin and firebat vehicles

[Vanishing Point]

the firebat is the max steel jet mentioned before and the WM is also modified from the Max Steel series, it was a speed boat that had a ejecting glider

[kingphilbert]

Those are incredible.

[Sgt. Kayfabe]

Awesome! Love the Barbecue and Airtight.

[Shin Densetsu]

Some of the best customs for Sigma 6 I have ever seen, excellent work man!

[Money-B]

I'm not even a Sigma 6 fan, but I looked at every one of these.
Thanks for taking the time to post them all. They are amazing.
Let me know, if you ever decide to sell them. :D

The prison orange dayglow pants are classic for a time I thought of just making them leather brown and add him to the ranks of Night Force or modernizing him with the orangeblaze camo seen at most hunting supply places

I moved his knife from his chest to his belt, he has his canteen onhis back and even gave him a driving glove inspiration to his home in the Great White North and to add a lil more to his character I gave him one brown eye and one blue

[artiepants]

I generally loathe the whole sigma 6 look and aesthetic, but your customs are JAW DROPPING.

[CLIFFjump3r]

Awesome!!! I love your work, but I'd hate to see what the total cost was to build them all.

[shlappyguy]

um, holy cow!

Awesome work. Where's Clutch?

[Vanishing Point]

Sigmas are cheaper than Alternators, which is what I was doing before these, I've got 72 unique TransFormer Alternators

I started out as a sigma snubber, passed it off as stupid pokemon tranformer retro revival with a lackluster out of canon Marvel mangaverse misfire ripoff of The Centurians... then I corrupted it into my own vision and now it's better

average cost for a single sigma was $12, alt/s where $20 and I'm a sucker for the underdog, if my customs make one sigma hater look twice and not hate it then mission accomplished
I liked Anime, monty python and trumpets in rock n roll before it was popular and still do since the fad has faded,

[Vanishing Point]

Clutch is waiting for me to finish the VAMP

[M.E.A.T. VIPER]

The Croc Master is insane. Almost makes me want to keep my Sigma Six collection. Almost ...

Sweet work. I would totally collect Sigma 6 style figures if they were 3 3/4". I just don't have room for 8" figures, but I love their stylized look.

[spot138]

Wow, never been into S6 before, but I'd jump at these if they were on the shelf. Great Job!

[Big IV]

I haven't said it in a while, but you skill and imagination are a sick combination!

[ponygt]

Wow! Really awesome work!!

[atomsmasher]

These are some of the coolest things I have seen on this site.

[Dreadnok Rocksteady]

I know it would be a major pain in the ass to reshoot and repost all those pics, but it would be a shame if all us sigma lovers can't oggle your awesome customs anymore.

[hotmitts]

Those photo's won't show on my stoopid pc.

[MrBlitzer]

not your pc bud , VP is so awesome there was a magic computer fairy that made everything he has done disappear. Sure , he thinks its a failed hard drive and a website going away, but I know the truth....
