I could see Sky Patrol being a club set one year. They're due.

Well, I think you and Loose have changed my mind on this. I'm going to go with a young Wreckage.
I like you suggestion of 21B. Does anyone know where I can find a list of all MOS for the Army. I have been using the list on Wikipedia, but I'm finding that it doesn't have them all. I tried that link on Wiki to go to the Army's site, but I can't get it to come up on this computer. Combat Engineer (12B) | GoArmy.com |

Good suggestion. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't see that. That Beachhead screams Tiger Force. I put in an offer to trade for one today. If not, I'm going to try to find him on Ebay. I have the Beachhead that comes with the Snarler Cycle and Rollbar from RoC. I think I'm going to put an extra Mutt head on him to make Claymore. I love the o-ring version, but I need a modern one for my custom Tiger Force team. I can't swing the new convention one at this point, so I'll have to make due until he gets a retail release or I have a little extra cash to toss around. The only problem is the emblem on his chest. I'm going to try my hand at painting TF Tripwire, but that level of intricacy is way beyond my limited painting skills.
Another idea I've been kicking around is Sky Patrol customs. I love Sky Patrol, but I don't see them getting made any time soon. I think there was a discussion on this thread a ways back about there file cards listing some impressive qualifications, but their figures were a bit outlandish looking. I'm going to keep the filecard info (except that whole problem with the ranks, that needs to be updated), but I'm thinking of using 30th Steel Brigade bodies, with different heads, weapons, and web gear to differentiate the 6 of them.

That would be a good idea as I've always thought the same thing. I've Promoted Skydive to Capt to fill that role.

Yeah, an actual Hasbro release would be better than any custom that I'd shoehorn together. I'm not optimistic though that we'll see them anytime soon. Anything Hasbro puts out in retail the next couple of years will be ninja/Retaliation related, SDCC seems to be doing well with the Transformers/GI Joe crossover exclusives, and the Club almost always uses existing stuff meaning Tiger Force/Night Force would be more likely.
I hope I'm wrong, because I'd love to see them. |

I wanted to make a Squad using the Defense Mech, Steel Marauder & 2 Avatar Amp Suits. For Pilots I am using Captain Gears, Hi-Tech, Kickstart & the Leatherneck that came w/ the Defense Mech {Calling him Forge}.
What do you guys think? I have them w/ my Armor unit as a sub-team, the Sigma Six. I was thinking of using some Delta Suits figs in the team as well, but can't think of how many or what to call them. |

Robo-Joe would be a good fit there as well. Love the Forge codename. (Forge is my favorite X-men)
I would say at least 6 guys, but they could all join into one force say Battle Force Tech (or 2000). I know you already have a Battle Force set but I have something similar. But I use my Duke Delta Suit as Blocker. Ripcord Delta Suit as Dee-Jay, then there is Speed Metal, and I use one more as Six-Gun (the fallen IDW joe) using the extra Beachhead head from the comic pack. I also have Bariicade Custom using the Delta Six body. Dodger is also a part of the team as is Flash, Sci-Fi, Matt Trakker, Windmill, Maverick, Fast Draw, HardBall, and Mirage. Of course they are led by Tony Stark but that's my verse.

I hope I'm wrong, because I'd love to see them. So, here might be a fun disscussion. If you were to design a Skypatrol set for next year's Con, how would you do it: who would be on the roster? What would they look like? I'll start Team Leader - Eagle Owl (O-3) - New Character Team NCO - Skydive (O-8) Airborne - Rigger/Medic Airwave - Comms Altitude - Recon/Combat Artist Drop Zone - 18B/Heavy Weapons Static Line - EOD/Demo Free Fall - Ranger Sky Mate - AUS SAS Airborne (v1) - Infantry Ripcord (v2) - Special Forces Ripcord (v1) -Infantry Crazy Legs - Ranger And they would need to look a little like this

Is thst you Airwave? I use the same head for mine.
Generally its a mix if its a con set. So the six members plus 9 cobras. I would use skycreeper and 4 Air Devils and 4 Night Vultures. Or either create a new cobra unit for 2 of those spots or use Abutre Negro and Escorpio Voador as the two pack special. (Brazil had Sky patrol characters but only those two werecompletely different characters and kitbashes) Although I tend to put all my airborne guys together in an expanded Sky Patrol. O -3 Skydive (I promoted him why Altitude outranked him I'll never get) O-3 Countdown as an Air liaison officer (I use Rollbar straight up) O-2 Barrel Roll ( XO) E-9 Altitude E-8 Dropzone E-8 Airwave E-8 Starduster E-7 Airborne (v1) E-7 Sgt Six (v2 Airborne I use an extra Rollbar with a duke head) E-7 Static-line (Cancelled Ripcord) E-6 Manleh E-6 Freefall E-6 Ripcord E-6 Sneak peak (RETALIATION 3pack Beachhead) E-5 Crazylegs I would add Cloudburst and Skymate if they came modern era.
