With not really knowing much about Action Force, or the pre Hasbro stories, just how many of the Red Shadows were named?
Ive seen alot of custom figures on here and a few other sites while doing my digging on the actual Action Force, but who are the real members and whats fan made?? I have Red Jackal (Anton Nobokov) Red Laser Black Major Red Wolf Barron Ironblood Red Vulture Red Sultan Nightmare Muton Kraken Skeletron Wilder Vaughn Arthur Kulik Dela Eden Am I missing anyone? Was there anyone else that was a member of the Red Shadows that carried over into Cobra? |

Good question. It'll be nice to see what input the UK fans have here. I know there is the bloodforthebaron site, but I don't know if it says who is a named character or troop builder.

There was also Mars Herring in the Devil's Due comic.
Tako was a diver in the Action Force comic, dubbed "Red Tako" in the Blood For the Baron Fanfic Comics. The fanfic generated a lot of unofficial characters as well, Black Shadow, Red I, Red Scorpion, and pretty much any other red "something" you will come across searching online. Does anyone have a visual for Nightmare and Red Sultan? |

to be honest you know more names than some of us brits , I grew up with action force figures and comics and I have never heard of the last 3 names on your list ,however in the English comic , when Baron Ironblood was defeated by action force he hid himself away , injected himself with treatments of cobra venom and transformed himself into cobra commander, he abandoned his subordinates but was tracked down by red jackal , I can't remember if he was shot,injected or what by cobra commander but as he tried to attack the commander he tried to shout out destroy but only managed destro , and once reprogramed by the commander was dubbed destro after his last word spoken. the commander then began gathering/employing mercenaries such as firefly major bludd and others to become cobra .the 4 action force principles ,Zforce, Q force , space force and s.a.s force where gradually phased out in favour of the og 13 g.i. joe characters although some were kept such as Z forces steeler and breaker , while others like jammer and gaucho were transformed into stalker and gung-ho (stalker was the original name of the s.a.s jeep driver , a redecorated snake eyes v1 figure).

I love Blood for the Baron. I think in the end DDP has Artur Kulik is Red Jackle and Wilder Vaughan is Black Major.

I vaguely remember on the Reloaded forums a discussion about Vaughn and Black Major being the same person, but I like them being different people. |

Muton's not an individual, he's a killer robot. there was more than one.
but the toyline ones are: Ironblood, Black Major, Red Laser, Red Jackal, Red Wolf and Red Vulture. Nightmare, Red Sultan and Tako are the only ones I remember from BAF. Vaughn, Eden, Kulik and Herring from DDP. I don't recall Herring being clearly labelled as such, though. practically anything else will be fan-made. |
