Their file names are a play on certain Bands. Speed Metal is an amalgamation of Motorhead's Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister and guitarist Phil Campbell. Grunge is Kurt Cobain and Stone Gossard, Bluegrass is Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe. Barndance is Garth Brooks and Brooks and Dunn...yeah sad I know
I think the only one not being an amalgamation was Electro and his name was inspired by Maxwell Dillon of Spiderman foe Electro fame. |

Btw, the mech character is named Ashiko, which happens to be a kind of percussion instrument (a cone shaped drum) played in Sub Saharan Africa and the Americas and which very coincidentally fits the music motif

Tyroc,
Do you actually own 16 A-suits figures? Did you reinvent Speed Metal with a new name and rank since there can be only one Sherman? |

I hear ya, I've been building my Joe chart again and they've kinda grown a bit. It's now got so many officers and squads that they've kinda outgrown SOCOM and are dangerously close to becoming a command of their own..a Joecom as it were
I've been fighting a losing battle with my own ideas so in the end, I've decided..F$ck it and I'm building them as a command of their own. I have Cobra hoplessly splintered and seriously considering splitting off the BATS into their own faction. Too much Cylons on the brain I guess. But it brings up an interesting notion, had GI Joe continue past VvV instead of morphing into 25th, the next big storyline was supposed to be Robot Rebellion. Any thoughts anyone? I've thought about getting some Terminator Salvation figures and kick starting my own Robot Rebellion in my 'verse... Which is the default Overkill and what about the 6 different versions of Overkill? I honestly liked the DDP origins of Overkill, which automatically made the V1 and the Internet one just leader BATS, and not Overkill. I'm torn between the other two styles. The DDP one and the Sigma 6 one. Overkill played a much bigger part in Sigma Six and he was definitely after the Commander's Job. |

Pretty sure it is.
Best shot I could find. Looks like a female body shape from the side.

I've never seen the Sigma 6 cartoons :( I have the comic mini series though. Was the cartoon any good? |
