Dig it! I don't know why, but I really liked Major Altitude when he came out with the Battle Copter. You did him justice with your MTF version.

Thanks! The Marauder build really suits him well so love how he came out. Still my favorite guy in my Sky Patrol / Air Commando section, although the custom Spirit I did really calls to me.
Just looking at the other 1991 figures, it’s not really surprising to me that Major Altitude’s battle copter had a bigger impact on me than the figure itself back then. Between Jetpack Hawk, Heavy Duty, Tracker, Incinerator, Snow Serpent and the Eco Warriors, he had so much competition for my attention. He had a lot of great battles with Interrogator growing up though so I’m happy they’re still going at it decades later. Haha.

You’re a busy man. Every time I log in you have another Marauder custom and I love it. I’d like to see a group shot cause you’ve had so many over the last few months.

Actually kept up with my goal so far, haha. Think I posted like 70 some customs since April. The daily customs will be coming to an end soon though, running out of easy stuff and I am in the middle of three or four larger projects. Speaking of easy stuff, swapped the hands on my Iceberg and found the o ring in my bin so I did a quick Past & Present. Edit: yeah, I’ll try to get a group shot / shots together too. Really interested in my counts between Hasbro, Club & Marauder / Boss Fight so will help in that area too. Been taking them with groups that I finish but missing a guy or two from each group / year so I haven’t done it often.

To keep the momentum going, we have another figure who I was not familiar with at all, Decimator. judging by how off I am with his colors, I still apparently am not familiar with him. Haha. I do remember his vehicle, came off as sort of an updated BUGG to me which meant I did always like the look of it, it was just so large and probably pricy growing up that I never had a chance to own it.
Decimator is a figure I think I would have loved growing up if I had him though. Love his helmet and uniform so I tried my best to recreate that using Marauder parts. Another all Marauder build with a good bit of gray paint added and a bit of neon green for the goggles. My first time painting this vest or the night vision goggles / face mask so this was a fun project. Like Long Range I mixed the colors up by trying to only go with online photos but I really like the new color scheme so this will be how mine stays. Maybe if I try a button up or jacket version down the road I’ll stay truer to the actual original design. Decimator Since I didn’t have his vehicle and nothing else I have really mimics it outside of the BUGG, I just grabbed a vehicle which I haven’t used in pictures before. So Cobra & the Decepticons team up!

Decimator looks good! Not familiar with his OG paint scheme, but this one's appealing. And that's a good pairing with the Soundwave HISS.

Thanks! He should be a little more black and a little less gray from what I did but I’m really happy with him. I don’t use that vest very often either so the combo helps him standout from my other Marauder Cobra builds.
Haha, yeah, gave me a reason to take pics of it. Love it because I really nailed applying those stickers! Much different experience from the Hound VAMP where I always tore one in half!

Decimator!!!! Fuck yes!!!!
I have had this damn character on my want to build list for nearly three years and every time I start I’m not happy with it and toss it aside. You’ve just unlocked a key for me and I will absolutely be using aspects of this. I’m honestly so excited I want to start building mine first thing tomorrow.

Really love how he came out, the night vision goggles really pop once you start adding some paint to them so it was awesome once I started getting his build together.

Moving away from the vehicle driver theme I had been doing since week since I think the only one left that I have built is someone I really want to go all out on with the pics.
This is one that I had started maybe a year ago but committed to finishing a few days ago because mine really didn’t resemble the original figure all that much. This was my version of Low-Light though. I liked the character from the first two seasons of the cartoon but it was another figure who never made it to me so it limited his appeal. Then the version 3 came out in the 90’s and I absolutely loved it! I used this figure all the time to the point where I lost his helmet, gun and broke his crotch. Haha. Losing all the gear and breaking parts is usually the sign of a well used Joe. Another full Marauder build just with a decent amount of paint added for accenting. Took a while to mix a green that I was happy with for the character, first it was too blue, then too green, then was too dark so it wasn’t popping, etc. haha. Love this final version though. Updates for down the road will be to switch out the head for a black hair / beard one and once I do that, I’ll also add the camo. So that’s a project once I place a new Marauder order but for now I just couldn’t wait to get seen pics of him in. Low-Light v3 Down the road I really need to make a full setup with my ewok village parts to really get a Low Light vs Night Vipers / Jungle Vipers matchup going but I couldn’t resist a scaled down skirmish.
