A few more (better) pics of the finished Raider Mainframe.
Just a quick word about Mainframe... he was the first Joe that we ever owned. He was a birthday present to my brother from my Aunt. I was so jealous that my mom took me to the store the next day. I had looked on the back of Mainframe's package and decided that I wanted Flint - who would become my all time favorite, and I was able to buy Flint next so he became my second Joe - but they didn't have Flint when I went to the store, so my first Joe ended up being Low-Light... which is still totally awesome. But the first Joe in the Box house was Mainframe... so he's always had sort of a special place in our hearts. And, I've always liked Mainframe... he's a Marine, but first he was an Army Paratrooper. That's pretty awesome. Incidentally, my brother and I went to Joelanta this year and Larry Hama was there. He was taking orders for his sketches, and he drew me a sketch of Low-Light and Flint on a sniper mission. I nearly cried.

I think I'm going to use the Steel Brigade soldiers for my go-to guys, like pilots. They can be pretty much anything you want them to be.

I think that's a perfectly good idea, especially if you're using multiple aircraft... like a squadron of Sky Strikers or something.

Howdy Everyone, new here. Just wanted to share some custom file cards done by lots of cut, copy, paste, and typing (rinse and repeat). Scarlett was my first attempt then did 3 others. Here is the link ;) Yujin-Sayonara's DeviantArt Gallery

I think I've asked this before, but how would you use Hit & Run? He's supposed to be able to travel long distances with a duffel bag. Is that realistic? Is the bag supposed to be actual military gear?

He's a member of my Infantry squad in my collection, alongside Spearhead, Footloose, Grunt, Beach Head, Leatherneck, Falcon, Lt. Gorky, Bulletproof, Recoil, Action Soldier and Action Marine.
in my fic set post 1995, he's USASF, along with Spearhead, Footloose, Recoil and Beach Head, together forming my SF squad with Falcon and an OC called Alpha Dog. |

I personally overlook the equipment the Joes came with as toys and use modern real world equipment in my fan-fic for them. I use Hit'n'Run as an operator on a Mountain Troop. |

Here's a question for you guys. How do you use Sci-fi in a realistic Joe verse? I can't see a situation where I would want a laser rifle with a large backpack instead of just a rifle. I've thought about making it some type of non-lethal weapon or maybe his role is the experimental weapons tester? I'm open to some other ideas. |

It's basically a way to quickly store rope without tangles or knotting. Sometimes you see SOF unit use a small rope bag attached to their leg while rappelling or a large bag kicked out of a helicopter for fastroping. I think he'd used something more like POC Zartan's slingpack to carry gear on a mission.
