Yeah I use the jurrasic park figure "Ash" as Machete. Doesn't completely look like him but some similarities. The figure screams Dreadnok to me.
I've always been I intrigued by your Static -Line Navy EOD transformation. In reality what would be his MOS if he were Army? However since I use the unreleased Ripcord as Static-Line he is still Army for me. I did however take one Retaliation trooper with the mask and make him Master Chief and one with the mohawk and call that one Effects. Both Navy EODs. I took my Renagades Ripcord and made him Cool Breeze. (Definitely Marine). Thanks to you Blackrazor. And I made my Mouse figure a Marine Sniper thanks to Troy. Speaking of snipers that convention Outback strikes me more as Jungle Snow Job. I'll see. Don't hate the figure but as Outback I just don't feel it.

The thing about Outback was that he was always the shaggy, bearded redhead. POC Snow Job sort of steals that shaggy characteristic. Other than slightly lighter hair, there's not much left that's distinctively Outback from a visual perspective.

So I watched Fast & the Furious 6 tonight and the bad guy was a former SAS soldier from the Mobility Troop.
I thought it was something made up, but it's a true unit. So that got me thinking? Is there a US equivalent? A Special Forces Driver? The Joe's have their Mobility Troop: Clutch, Crankcase, Skidmark, Rollbar Now I need a name for my Joe Mobility Troop..

yeah, from what i remember there's Air, Mobility, Boat and Mountain Troops in the Squadrons and 3 sqadrons in the Regiment.
The Pathfinder Platoon are also specialists in high speed manoeuvre warfare with small units in light vehicles. read David Blakeley's Pathfinder, his memoir of serving in Iraq with PF for more. |

When Cross Country and the Club's H.A.V.O.Cat were announced I was thinking of making a Fast Attack/Light Armor unit for my Joe forces, but now thinking might make that the Mobility Unit:
H.A.V.O.Cat w/ Cross Country Bridge Layer w/ Tollbooth Wolverine w/ Cover Girl VAMP w/ Clutch R.A.M. w/ Kickstart w/ Crankcase, Rollbar, Skidmark also in the unit... By Heavy Weapons, you're talking passengers to be deployed (haven't watched the clip yet)

My MAS-X is almost already set up for a mobility troop. Matt Trakker, Steeler, Covergirl, Thunder, Tollbooth, Heavy Metal, Blocker, Zap, Grandslam and Salvo. Tho I would still need to find some place else for Jigsaw (Tigerrat pilot, John Wayne Flying Leatherneck homage) and Starduster.

I watched the first two of those last night Blackrazor. Thanks for the tip. Although niether was about the mobility troop. How many guys in a troop? Then How many in a squadron?
If I were you takedown and you wanted to change your Mas-x team concept to a mobility troop you could move Starduster to your airborne unit? Jigsaw should be with Skystriker I would say but I don't know if you are using Skystriker. Do you use the Battle Force 2000 characters?

Mobile Armored Strike Command, MASK, is a great squadron name for the Joe's Mobility Unit.
Guy's like Steeler, Heavy Metal, Thunder, Long Range, Cannonball would be in the Heavy Armor Squad. Cross Country, Cover Girl, Blocker, Dodger, Knockdown, Crankcase, Kickstart, Clutch, Skidmark, Rollbar, Tollbooth would be the drivers. Anyone else fit? I don't want to assign the heavy weapons guys to the Mobility team. The heavy weapons guys are spread out over fireteams and their own squadron.
