Not unless you count the Action Force Versions of certain Joes. But you probably know which ones those are better than I do. Like Recondo and maybe Beachhead but he might be a New Zealander in Action Force.
Tyroc includes everyone in his verse, so he'd know best. Tyroc Do you use the Aussie incarnation of the Joes where it applies?

I was looking for what other folks thought on the topic. At first, I just tried Googling SAS uniforms, but then discarded the idea because it's the Joe team. Nobody else wears uniforms "typical" to their original units, so I didn't figure he would either.
I was thinking of using DPM camouflage, but I'm not sure I could paint it correctly.. And don't put his gun in a sling, the SAS almost never use slings on their weapons - they believe a gun should be in your hands not hanging off of you. |

Well the SAS specializes in long range recon and deep penetration operations - and often on foot. I'd give any Big Ben custom a big backpack for sure. Floppy hat for jungle ops, maybe even bareheaded for desert warfare. Keep the long sleeves.

In terms of Aussie Joes, the original Action Force only had Blast Off who was an Aeronautical Engineer with Space Force. When the Palitoy and Hasbro properties merged, Recondo was established as being from Melbourne. Later on Dusty was established as being from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Interestingly in the GI Joe Australia comic (reprints of US Comics with some additional material) Recondo was renamed "Digger" which has been a slang term for an old soldier for decades. Loose, you're right Beach Head was a Kiwi, hailing from Auckland NZ, also Cutter in AF continuity was from Auckland too. |

I've included a few of the Action Force guys to my verse.
Namely Eagle is in charge and then Skip. (Both just headswaps) Lt Dolphin is in and I use the ROC cover-Girl as Quarrel. Oops Forgot Jammer. + the Baron and Jackel and the Black Major and Red Laser But to go back to Australia.. I guess we have Torch and Skymate, Night Stalker Officer and the Flaming Moth Range-Viper. What about Zartan? Is he Australian?

Looking for a Communications/ Information Specialist for my Joe SWAT Team. Was gonna use Dialtone (the original) but would rather have him elsewhere. Any Joes that pop out at you guys for this type of assignment?
Also, rethinking Low Light as team sniper. Any thoughts on a replacement for him? Trying to come up with 12 guys total, here's what I've got so far- Bulletproof- Leader Bullhorn- Negotiator/ Spotter Barricade- Breacher Law & Order- K9 Longarm- Explosives Lockdown Shockwave Surefire Wide Scope |

Were you reading my post as I was typing it? That was one of the fastest replies I've ever seen.
I really like Mayday for sniper. I'm not that familiar with the IDW stuff so I tend to forget about those characters (especially if they don't have a figure) but from what I've read about her she would be a perfect for this team. And, fairly simple to frankenjoe a fig for her. Dee Jay is another great suggestion but after I submitted my post the name "10 Code" popped into my head, so I think I'm gonna go with that and customize a figure for that character. Hadn't really thought about needing a driver. I've re-tasked most of my drivers as Cav Scouts. Maybe rename Skidmark to Skidtop (cop talk for an unmarked car) and use him as the driver? edit- other thought is to use Cover Girl as driver Last edited by Topside; 01-26-2011 at 03:00 PM.. |

That works.
I made a new guy named Highway and I have a guy named Street as my motorcycle cop.
