Thanks Tyroc. Now I need one for a Submarine and mesh the two, get rid of the ones I don't need, or make them really small.
A Amphibious Carrier has a Crew of 1000 enlisted and 100 officers, and a Sub is like 10 officers and 100 crewmen, but with all the overlap, they both sort of have the same departments, with the Carrier having a few extra for the deck, and Aircraft Maintenance. I think you mean Sigma Six Lt Stone. But I do the same and make him come from the Royal Marines, which makes him a 0-3 equavalent. Plus it's fitting since Extreme Lt Stone is a Marine, and Sgt Stone is a Marine, so why break up the tradition? Still what other services are tied to the UK's MPs? I mean is it like CID so we have the tie in with Chuckles? Chuckles is sort of an MP in some respects, well law enforcement is really what I mean.

The UK MPs have several other services tied to them beyond general policing. There's also Body guard detail and the Special Investigation Branch (SIB) which I believe is similar to CID. There's a fairly good show about the SIB called 'Red Cap' named after the berets they wear. It's produced by the BBC so might be available on BBC America?

I don't know if he was supposed to be a French Legionaire because he was born in Nevada and I'm not sure if you can join the Legionaires as an American citizen, but perhaps you could train with them through some exchange program.

Looks Australian off the filecard. I don't see a profile for Dusty though so there may be other interpretations of him. |

So I just got the most recent wave of Marvel Universe stuff. But I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I can incorporate some of these figures.
Black Widow is Mayday and that wasn't too hard. Dr Doom is himself in my verse and a cousin for Destro. I figure the original McCullen gave rise to these small principalities around Trans-Carpathia. All which support MARS industries. So Latveria and Darklonia aren't countries as so much as large fiefdoms that grew and these guys just hold titles in Romania or Bulgaria. I like to imagine Magneto is another cousin or Uncle to Destro. Which leads me to Thor? What to do with this guy? At this point I might just have him be the lead Metalsmith hence the hammer. He's the hardest to swallow. Absorbing Man I might make into a MARS goon who isn't so much Absorbing Man, but a guy who they tried unsuccessfully to fuse metal with his skin, so he just looks messed up for a reason. Now Luke Cage. Great looking figure. Articulation isn't great on any of these figures but they look good. But should he be good or bad? Good means he's a SHEILD agent under Fury. Bad means he might be a successful metal fusion subject. Finally Buckey. SOrt of lame but then his colors just scream Cobra. I'm thinking maybe the Twins have a younger brother, or I may have an Evil Billy character. I figure if my father was Cobra Commander I would most likely be right there next to him. good or bad that's family. So Cage? Thor? Buckey? oh and Warpath I need to find a place for him. |

Cage when I get him will be the leader of my Bronze Bombers detachment. The Bronze Bombers are a bunch of law enforcement agents (DEA, FBI, ICE, ATF) who are working undercover as a street gang to combat the growing threat of the Headhunters and the Dreadnoks. Mercer leads a similar team, the Renegades an undercover motorcycle gang. (biker gangs are as I've mentioned before a HUGE issue in Oz).
Bucky could easily be the son and heir apparent to CC, Billy was never gonna take over so CC just plucked him out of the Cobra youth brigade. You could make him the leader of the Youth brigade inciting revolution in the hearts of america's youth via viral campaigns, youtube, myspace etc.. Thor could be part of Darklonia/Latveria's MARS faction. You could call him 'Perun' the slavic version of Thor and he could be the armorer/munitions engineer with delusions like RAptor..or you could call him 'Steel Hammer' ??? Warpath looks like a Night Force operator, a SAD/SOG special cases operator/assassin. ??? |

hmm l like that. I knew you'd come through Tyroc. I don't have a separate Bronze bomber unit. I just mix them in with the other units. But I have a SAD/SHEILD team that both Cage and Warpath could be a part of. I still might make them into bad guys as my other terrorist factions get bigger it's harder to add figures to them.
After Cobra in size is The Coil then Clan Destro (Magneto, and Doom included) then Red Shadows then Shadowloo(Mix the Mortal Combat stuff here as well) Iron Claw and SKAR are falling to the wayside a bit. He may just be a Cobra General or the CLAWS. (I was going to make them part of the Red Shadows, but my stand in figure is sort of lame) General Blitz is going to be my Elite-Viper commander. Both guys are hungry for power. Then Black Dragon is another small faction who competes against the Night Creepers and Red Ninjas for contracts. The Drednoks are another small group. I wish I could army build Hydra figures. For now I have my Star Wars figures as a sort of secret society army. I only collect Phase 2 armor Clone Troopers. Sort of like Troynos Serpent Society or even Cobra-La, they guide society through time. There are a lot of things Cobra may one day steal from the Republic, like Robotics, Cloning tech, propulsion systems. (I got a Star Wars collecting bug during a slow Joe Period. I have about 100 figures.) Cage is very cool BTW. Articulation aside he is by far my favorite, well after Dr Doom. |

Looks Australian off the filecard. I don't see a profile for Dusty though so there may be other interpretations of him. One continuity was based on the Battle Action Force comics. These included the early characters who fell into the following categories:
A later continuity also existed that tried to reconcile the Battle Action Force stuff with a more ARAH-centric interpretation of Action Force (this was after Hasbro acquired Palitoy in the late 1980s) although I don't think it's accepted as "canon" by many Action Force fans, since it messed up the origins of some characters: the original Action Force Ace character (originally portrayed as Canadian) was re-released as an American fighter pilot from Chicago, the Action Force Cutter character (originally listed in his filecard as being from New Zealand), was re-released with the same filecard as his ARAH counterpart, birthplace and all; Action Force Gung-Ho (originally listed as being from Florida) was given the exact same filecard as the ARAH version, Action Force Roadblock, who was originally portrayed as Congolese, was changed to an exact clone of the ARAH Roadblock. It's certainly possible that Australian Dusty was part of this later continuity, retconning out the French Dusty. |

My pleasure
I like how you use Iron Klaw and Skar. Btw, did anyone pick up the A-Team : Shotgun Wedding comic? I liked it, it establishes the team as a Spec Ops unit (Special Forces Unit Operational Detachment Alpha: Code named the A-Team). All the members are ex Rangers (Ranger RGT) presumably and they also establish the following specialties: Col Hannibal Smith - Master Strategist / Team Leader Cpl Bosco "BA" Barracus - Mechanical Specialist and Driver Lt Templeton "Face" Peck - Logistics expert / team appropriations specialist Capt HM "Howling Mad" Murdock - Team Pilot it also mentions that BA has been dishonourably discharged and Murdock has been discharged for psychological reasons. First issue was pretty good, action wise and actually tried to make it like a good Joe comic. |

Yeah I'd bet you're right. I just didn't see a profile in the comic, since those don't match the filecards at all. I didn't look past the few comics at Bloodforthebaron.com
I thought for sure there had to be a Dusty from the early ARAH character incorporation. |
