Neat idea. But the thing about having them as a local/domestic organization is that it puts them completely out of the Joes' jurisdiction, even if they are allied with international terrorist groups (Posse Comitatus Act and all that). They'd probably be more the concern of Homeland Security and/or the FBI.

Make 'em an international gang. Bigger scope of operations, larger areas to "hide" in. Able to have more and diverse members.
A gang like that could be ruling the roost, so to speak, in the old communist countries where there's a ton of illegal deals going on constantly. Quote:
What role they would have is a mystery. Plus they would need to be several hundred Strong. So Buzzer and Thrasher, and Torch would have to run their own chapters. Or new Dreadnok leaders would have to be established. They may only need 3 or 4 chapters. Like one in Florida, one in Texas/Mexico border, one in North Dakota/Canadian border. Plus a European Chapter and an Australian one.

They'd also take hostages and all that other kind of stuff.
I can see the Russian Mafia using 'em as muscle and transport, if there's something they don't necessarily want to be linked to. See the Dreadnoks being the "unknown" in alot of deals. So a group that has ties and operates in Russia, Asia, the Middle East and all parts in between including Australia, would definately be something that JSOC would want to keep their eyes on. The 'Noks don't care who or what they work for (but having Cobra secretly funding and supplying 'em would help Cobra's aims) as long as they get paid. So they're the wild card that Cobra throws into different situations.

Two new additions and an update:
Rock & Roll, Thunder & Dodger Design notes: - just a minor update to Rock 'n' Roll, tweaked the image a little so he looks more like a hybrid of the v1 (original) and v2 (Gatling gunner) designs - fitted Dodger with an AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) crewman helmet as a nod to his specialty.

Love the updates Zulu. You're doing a fantastic job!. Thank you for sharing it with everyone here
On the subject of the Dreadnoks, it's a very real and contemporary threat here in Australia. We have quite a few different outlaw gangs, mostly the Commancheros and the Bandidos. They pretty much run the tattoo / body piercing industry and control most of the amphetamine and ecstasy trade. They're all over the news fighting each other and there've been lots of very public incidents. A few months ago there was a huge fight in the middle of Melbourne airport where one member was pretty much beaten to death in front of very very stunned travellers and on lookers. They're such a threat at the moment that we've heard lots of stories of Australian SAS soldiers working undercover to bring them down. |

Great updates Zulu.
Damn Tyroc, that's not good. So I read the novelization of the RoC movie last night (quick read, 250 pages, large text, only took like 4-5 hours). I'm even more excited for the movie. The connections that people have been bitching about, they work in the context of the movie. The nano-mites work and the threat that is set up at the end is HUGE. I want the next movie now, lol. I even liked Duke. Yeah, Ripcord/Marlon Wayans is a joking character but it's nothing over the top, he's just a wise-ass/sarcastic/joker. We all know and have seen people like that. It's not distracting or anything. It's definately a Joe movie. I can't wait to see it now.

Very cool Low-Light, zulu. His design was so right the first time around, that there's not a whole lot of deviation that can be done. But I do like the .50 cal upgrade. I'm glad that you worked the Marine Scout Sniper training in there as well.
@Tyroc: Wow. Puts a new perspective on the 'Noks biker theme being outdated. But it still seems as though they wouldn't be a group the Joes would go after. Maybe the Action Force would, however. |

If work it so that Cobra is influencing the Australian Biker Gangs, that's how the Joes can get involved.
