In case you haven't been following it, Tank Driver 785 and I have been having a "Cold War" to follow up our "Flame War". He did an awesome job with his first shot.
I took a different tack with my follow-up... I got the minitank awhile back with Thunder, and while I love both the vehicle and the figure, I never thought it felt right that Thunder got such a dinky vehicle after getting the original "Slugger" back in the ARAH days. Soo..... I had this Commando Force tank from the last KayBee Toys sale... was originally green with a really bad paint job. Decided to retool it to become a Slugger II: Arctic Slugger. Ended up painting it white, then painted the black camo over it, then painted it white again to mute the black camo a bit. Added weapon, drilled the main cannon (it was blunted), added decals, and added the Gobots Powersuit as a sort of flying recon sled. TAKE THAT, TANK DRIVER! |

Thunder is an arctic custom as well... used Storm Shadow's body, whited it out, and added Thunder's head and chest armor. Used Attack on the Pit Duke's legs.
