Great find Loose. Haven't finished reading through it all (jumped right to the section about capability metrics). Interesting how far apart the current Army helicopter fleet's capabilites are (whose useful ferrying range is only 120 nautical miles) compared to the future JHL concept they're banking on being developed a decade from now (which is supposed to have a ferrying range of 500 nautical miles). That's a huge leap in fuel economy for a large rotor-driven aircraft (to put it into context, the current world record for the longest full-tank-no-refueling helicopter flight is 1923 nautical miles, and this was using a prototype 500 kg OH-6 Cayuse carrying just a pilot and no cargo).

Yeah I wonder where they looking at getting those numbers. 500 miles?



Maybe? I guess it'll be huge? Although it looks like a badass toy!

I'm guessing 500 nautical miles is an overestimate on their part. So even if they fall well short of the target (say, an effective ferrying range of 250 nautical miles, twice that of the current heliopter fleet but half that of the putative and theoretical JHL), it'll still be loads better than current capability.

Haxzor, Motorhead, Coyote

Design notes:
  • Here's Haxzor, my take on Sgt. Hacker. I took Master Thespian's core suggestions to heart with this one and I think the image is all the better for it. Kept the hallmarks of the toy, I think, which were the gray jumpsuit, the blue accents, and the chest-sheated knife.
  • "Motorhead" is my take on GI Joe Extreme character Metalhead. I was originally going to use Fabio for his head/face, but I went for a much dungier look (that's Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee's eyes and nose that I used for the face).
  • Coyote is based on the Argentinian version of Footloose produced by Plastirama under licence from Hasbro back in the 1980s. Not much to talk about here, design-wise. It's a straight-up look based on the Footloose image I made earlier (they are supposed to be based on the same action figure), with enough changes, I think, to make them distinguishable as being separate characters. Again, much like the other Plastirama figures, it's obvious that Coyote was intended to be an "American" Joe (his file name on his filecard is "Robert J. Austin"), which seems to contradict how Hasbro is labeling the upcoming modern remakes of the old Argentinian figures as Argentinian soldiers allied with the Joe team.

Thanks for looking!

Stormer and Barrage

Design notes:
  • "Stormer" is my take on Major Storm. I'm re-making him as an ANGLICO captain and head of the Joes' FIST (Fire Support Team). Tried to keep elements of his original helmet within a more contemporary design and I think it worked out okay.
  • "Barrage" is my take on Major Barrage. The original Major Barrage figure was named after David Vennemeyer, a Hasbro action figure sculptor, so I thought it was only appropriate that I use a Vennemeyer's face for my rendition of the character. I'm planning on demoting the character, though, as I don't think the Joe team needs two artillery officers, especially not two majors.

Thanks for looking!

These all look great Zulu. I like the new Hacker. Don't get rid of the old one though he might make a good Bullhorn if you haven't done him yet. Is Motorhead the Mechanic?

Thanks man. As for Motorhead, I'm using him as one of the guys on the Signal Support team, which ties into Metalhead's role as GI Joe Extreme's communications whiz. The "motor" in his code name ahs more to do with his being a fan of heavy metal (Lemmy/Motorhead) than his job specialty.

Nice job Zulu. I always liked the name "Major Barrage". Barrage works good as a standalone name, but Storm always needed the Major attached to make it work good. Stormer is a good name.

A bunch of name changes in this update (every single one of which is fitting and better for it).
  • Haxzor: Fantastic, bro. Sometimes I get a little wary making my comments, but I'm glad they can have positive results. He looks really nice.
  • Motorhead: Love it. Not much to say here, but I really like the Metalhead to Motorhead conversion.
  • Coyote: Similar to your Hard Drive update, this one uses a great image that didn't fit elsewhere. Does he have the same face as Hat Trick?.
  • Stormer: I like this one overall better than your original rendition, but your original version had the green vest of the 1990 figure, which this one lacks.
  • Barrage: Nice update, but I remember his vest was a tanish-gray color. Great work otherwise.

Another great round of work, z!

Thanks for the comments guys!

@Master Thespian: Good catch with the vest on both Stormer and Barrage. I was working from memory with regards to Stormer and the Yojoe.com pic of the Major Barrage figure's vest had it looking black. A cursory look at the Major Barrage figures for sale on ebay shows that it's more of a brown shade, however. Pics updated to reflect those changes (you might need to clear your browser's image cache to see the updated images).
