#50 CODE NAME: FURY (MTF version) (based on Larry Hama's "FURY FORCE")
Marauder Task Force Origin: UK *MILESTONE! 50 FIGURES ALREADY!!! Continuing with my FURY FORCE homages, FF's SGT. FURY JR is the son of Nick Fury & a precursor to Hawk! With that I approached his coloration based on the classic Nick Fury, built him around Larry Hama's drawing, & wanted to make him different enough looking from similar looking characters (eg: Flint, Falcon) to stand on his own, even with their similarities in design. Using the new dress top, & sunglasses head, mixed with some Marauder classics, I really like how he came out, small touches like the red insignia that came on his beret and a rank label sticker on his arm really add some nice finishing touches! FURY was one the original task force team members in a small group code named FURY FORCE to handle illegal arms dealings in the US & UK by their governments. When the epidemic from the Gunrunners went even more international, the task force had to go major and expand the roster greatly to make the world a safer place. FURY and his squad ended up doing more secret (more special) types of missions from there on out and were even used more on a consultation basis until recently... when ATHENA called the whole FURY FORCE team back into action to investigate certain threats on the eastern side of the world. Fury is trained in unarmed/armed combat, and is a martial arts expert. He is a military adviser, trained demolitions expert, & also works as a flight & vehicle specialist. ....Oh & he never takes off those sunglasses. |

#51 CODE NAME: HAVOC (based on ARAH G.I. Joe "Cross Country" '93)
Marauder Task Force Origin: USA I always loved Cross Country's appearance in the G.I. Joe Movie, driving the Havoc, guns a blazin'! With that said, I always preferred his 2nd version figure to that of the original. He was a better design with a real oldskool confederate soldier vibe plus a better head sculpt. One of the most un-PC figures in the ARAH line, I was looking forward to giving him a fresh update. Using the new gray dress shirt and the MTF Contract Ops legs, plus some orange gear... really made this character come back to life! I knew I had a hit on my hands when my brother saw him in my display and said "CROSS COUNTRY!" So far he is among my favorite roster recreations! HAVOC is just a good ole' boy. He is the lead Heavy Equipment Operator and loves a good fire fight while driving the biggest land vehicle on the battle field, rolling over anything that stands in his way. He can also pack a wallop with his fist & his larger stature makes him formidable in hand-to-hand combat. Even if he's not the sharpest pencil in the box, he is very reliable and loves the fight for freedom and being a part of a team. He was ecstatic to be brought out of decommissioned status. One thing he doesn't like however, is how ATHENA keeps re-code-naming the prior elite team's vehicle drivers after their former rides! 2021 Photo Update: Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-10-2021 at 06:38 PM.. |

Yo SB! Great work. Athena and Villainess are my favorites. Still loving your imagination. I was not familiar with Villainess until now, so I'll check it out. Funny thing, I got my last batch of MTF goodness and dumped it all on my table and thought "I wonder what SB would do with all of this"? Haha. Great work my friend!

*If you ever look back in this thread and notice a picture has changed, it's because I am occasionally updating the characters, whether it be for functionality or to get it closer to it's inspiration, Marauder's inventory & new items get me closer to my vision.

NEW RECRUITS!!
#52 CODE NAME: MIRAGE (based on the GI Joe Pulse created character "Whisper" ) Gunrunners Origin: South America This character is based on the concept art for Whisper done by Hasbro and the colors approved by Whisper's creator Justin Bell on other customs done for the character. My Whisper homage helps complete another one of the GI Joe Pulse character entries becoming part of my MTF Universe! *I will keep the story line in my MTFU basically the same as the creator's bio for her. MIRAGE was abducted as a child after her fishing village was decimated by the Gunrunners when looking for a traitor in hiding. The Gunrunners showed "mercy" to certain youngsters that they thought had potential with hard training and entered them into a secret program enabling them with "special" skills. The new skill set included becoming an assassin, lessons in espionage, the martial arts, and in becoming a master of disguise. MIRAGE'S main role today is that of a bodyguard to Gunrunners elite. She suspects that SPADE could be a traitor as he has often disappeared at convenient times, and with the lesson of "no treachery" drilled into her head since her abduction, she considers all who are unworthy to be ready to pay the ultimate price! |

#53 CODE NAME: STALLION(S) (based on the ARAH "Cobra Stinger Driver" )
Gunrunners Origin: various True story... on my list of 100+ characters to possibly create for my MTF Universe, a recreation of the ARAH Stinger Driver was actually #SEVEN! I don't usually want to recreate characters that were made in the modern era, but with the Stinger Driver... he was a favorite of my brothers & I back when we were kids, so I wanted to pay homage with MTFs perfect inventory for the character. After finally recreating him in MTF style, it's amazing how different it all actually turns out! STALLIONS are the drivers of armed vehicles, heavy equipment, weapons transport, and VIP escorts within the Gunrunners ranks. Trained in everything from demolitions, to escape tactics, these hand-to-hand combat & weapons experts are more than just black market delivery drivers! 2021 Photo Update: Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-10-2021 at 07:07 PM.. |
