I have no pics of my franken-joed customs. All in storage. Debating whether I want to display Legos or Joes or somehow do both.
So is it only Joe vs. Cobra? Or are there other organizations involved? How does the Oktober Guard fit into your joeverse? For me, there are the "uber"terrorists: Cobra (CC, Major Bludd, Blueshirts) The Coil (Serpentor, Neo-Vipers) Red Shadows (need a figure for Wilder Vaughn aka Baron Ironblood, need a Black Major, RoC MARS Troopers) Dreadnoks (real biker gang/pirates) Iron Grenadiers (Destro, Baroness, IGs) |

I was just wondering about Crimson Guards. Particularly the new Crimson Horsemen. How do they fit in. I see it like this:
Lawyer or Accountant or Financier joins the Crimson Guard and is automatically given a Capt. Rank. CGs are the political officers of Cobra, but their training has to be intense. So after CG what next? SOme may join the Shadow Guard (Come on already Hasbro!), which is a Gestapo type organization. THe internal Police of Cobra and chief information gatherers. Others may try out for the New Crimson Horseman tank Group. THese guys are the first unit for CGs to join which command troops, (Although any CG can take over any unit he deems neccessary by putting a bullet in the back of the unit commander's head). Typically this is an O-4 Major position. THis leads to the next unit. Crimson Guard Commanders. CG Commanders lead up to Battalion sized units. Anyone who makes it past this stage is eligible for Crimson Guard Immortals This is Cobra;s most elite of elite. There may only be a dozen of them. But they are usually pinned to the Commander's side, particularly during battle. If one of these guys tells you to do something you know it came directly from the Commander and you better do it. This is an 0-6 position.

I haven't made a special place for the Horseman because I don't know much about them. I decided to make the Crimson Vipers the lowest echelon of the Crimson Guards, which are a special intelligence/security/military police branch of Cobra. As Crimson Vipers progress, qualified candidates can volunteer for the Crimson Guard.

I don't own any Crimson Vipers. Although I should get myself a few.
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Viper YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Cobra Vipers (version twenty-five) Nothing very CG about them in my opinion, since they are not Lawyers or Accountants. Still I imagine they should be commanded by CG's? They say they are loyal to the Baroness and the Twins even over Cobra Commander. But then all CG's are loyal to CC and I figure the Twins would be surrounded by CGs as well. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard (version nine) The CG squad leader from 2008 should have been called CG cell leader IMO. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard Squad Leader The Shadow Guard is a different set of individuals. I imagine there can not be too many of them as the filecard is written, but I use them as a perhaps 200 man unit. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard v8 CG immortals are the cream of the crop it would seem although CG commanders my be right there with them. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard Immortal YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard Immortal YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard Commander How do the CG commanders stand in your verse? Below or above a CG immortal or not included at all? The Crimson Horseman filecard isn't up on Yo Joe yet but reads in typical POC horribleness: "Crimson Horsemen are part of the CRIMSON GUARD, an elite private army led by the powerful weapons manufacturer DESTRO. CRIMSON HORSEMEN specialize in mobile combat tactics. They prefer tanks because of their strength, armor and weapons, but they can turn even the most humble vehicle into a weapon of destruction. They are highly trained in many disciplines and can switch from aggressive infantry fighters to clandestine operatives with ease." I missed something. DESTRO??!?

WTF?! Since when is DESTRO the commander of the CGs? The rest of it's not too bad, but c'mon. Really?

I don't know. Maybe it was a Renegades tie-in? I will be ignoring that piece. The figure in and of itself is not half bad for what is a kit-bash. THe head sculpt seems new.

So is it only Joe vs. Cobra? Or are there other organizations involved? How does the Oktober Guard fit into your joeverse? For me, there are the "uber"terrorists: Cobra (CC, Major Bludd, Blueshirts) The Coil (Serpentor, Neo-Vipers) Red Shadows (need a figure for Wilder Vaughn aka Baron Ironblood, need a Black Major, RoC MARS Troopers) Dreadnoks (real biker gang/pirates) Iron Grenadiers (Destro, Baroness, IGs) I have the Oktober guard as working with the Joes that cover Asia. Since many of them are not even Russian I have to come up with something plausible. Brekhov, Stormavik, Big Bear, Dragonsky, Sgt Misha, Gorky and Ruslan(sp?) are but the other 4 are not. My Terrorist Org is like this: Red Skull creates Hydra with the help of 2 Barons and later 1 Baroness. But Red Skull has a habit of pissing people off. Later he forms Cobra as a sort of Legitimate Private military Company. (This is how I explain random Cobra Logos on figures) Baron Iron-Blood breaks off to form Red Shadows. His Combat Light Armored Weapons Specialists break off under Iron-Klaw and form their own Organization SKAR. Iron-Klaw is a prince of sorts in my verse. Baron's other problem is his Red Shadow Guards break off under the leadership of two of his trusted twin commanders to form the Crimson Guards. Later under the leadership of one of Red Skulls Commanders, the Cobra (PMC) breaks away and becomes Cobra proper. Baron von Stucker and Madame Viper join forces with this Cobra Commander and become Dr Mindbender and the Baroness, when they have had enough of the Red Skull. This lasts only for a while until Mindbender with the help of Destro discovers cloning technology and creates Serpentor. Serpentor is immediately popular with the troops and an effective leader. Being that Cobra PMC is involved in ultra difficult missions, Serpentor has a strong connection to many of Cobra's Special Ops units, like the Range-Vipers, Alley-Vipers, Para-Vipers and Pit-Vipers. Soon the Coil is formed. Overlord, Anaconda (Custom Adm.), Venomous Maximus, Hannibal and Dr Mindbender form the core leadership. Destro, along with his cousins, Darklon and Dr Doom, service all of these organizations. And Uncle Magneto serves them all as chief Metalsmith. All these groups fall under the Cobra Umbrella which is how their units get deployed under the Cobra Banner. For example Elite-Vipers work for Darklon as the Delta-Force operators of Cobra, but the really work for themselves. The Neo-Vipers and the Coil only nominally are under Cobra Commanders control. The POC MARS troopers work for Dr Doom in my verse (Now on SALE Troy!) I've decided to include Dr Strange as Kalikhan, but need to find a force to fall under his leadership. The Ninjas is another story.
