After getting accessories and figures today from trades/transactions, I knew I had to make these two customs that I am showing you now.
First up is Sure Fire. When he first showed up for the RAH line, the first version was great, the second version was so-so. Later, when I saw the FSS version and felt disappointed, which ignited the idea to make my own custom ME version. The ROC Pit Commando head looked so close to the RAH version(first one) that I knew I had to use it. Sure Fire, a.k.a. Dead Aim of Shockwave's S.W.A.T. team likes to shoot first and ask questions later. He prefers to take down hostile enemies with either non-lethal shots to the shoulders or legs, or if necessary, a head shot. The fact that he can shoot almost as good as a sniper like Low-Light from the distances he's able to is more than enough reason for Shockwave to have him on the team. Formula: Head: ROC Pit Commando Helmet: Don't remember, but I repainted it black Vest: Extreme Conditions Arctic Assault Team 7-pack Heavy Weapons Viper Rest: POC COBRA Trooper The ROC Flash's body inspired me to make a simple repaint into a Night Force Lightfoot custom. Due to the unique look of the RAH version's helmet, I thought it would be best to just get the RAH version. I had to find a head that could not only fit under the large helmet, but still look like Lightfoot based on his hair. One of the ROC Duke heads I got from C_Money_Collins here was my prime choice. Lightfoot, a.k.a. Catalyst, is a technology expert and an explosives ordinance disposal specialist for Shockwave's S.W.A.T. team. Sometimes he works alone, helping to locate criminals in hiding and implement the most secure software to prevent hackers, viruses, and spyware, other times he works with others, particularly with Shrapnel(whom i've named the 25th Anniversary single pack blue Firefly). While most would sweat seeing an explosive device, he would calmly work with it and smile after he's finished. Formula: Helmet: RAH Lightfoot Head: ROC Duke, not sure which version Rest: ROC Flash It's unfortunate that the number of attachments you can post here are rather limited. I may have to insert links for most of my customs from now on as a result, but hope you like them nonetheless!

Thanks. I have too many extra Duke heads, so at least I can put one of them to better use.

Thanks. Another vest for Sure Fire that could be used as an alternative would be a Resolute COBRA Trooper vest, which I used for my DEF Shockwave custom.

Thanks! Going to post more customs in the future, though unfortunately due to the limits on attachments, I probably will be posting links more than pics from now on.
