#268/W8. FIRST SARGENT (based on the movie War Machine/GI Joe: Duke)
Elite Strike Force Origin: Austria WAR MACHINE 2010 The Duke character in this film is played by Robert Amstler, a rugged Austrian actor who has the same accent as Arnold Schwarzenegger (I actually double checked that he was also from Austria, as at first I wasn't sure if I was experiencing a recipe for comedy & he was just imitating Arnie ;-) ...) He's a hoot in this film as he delivers all of the best lines & some good fight scenes. I felt I wanted to give his tribute figure something a bit more special than using the heads that I have been using for my previous MTF Duke homages, & picked out one from Spartan 1:18! Unlike "Rise Of Cobra," this Duke actor had dyed his hair blonde for the role, & with my painting specs requested on the head, Spartan definitely delivered! FIRST SARGENT has been given his orders from the ENVOY to head up a Special Ops Group with "no limits" to investigate the goings-on from a terrorist organization known as ASP, lead by the SUPREME COMMANDER. He recruits the RANGER & is assigned the MASTER SARGENT by the General & Executive of Defense Gates. After 2 battles with the SABOTEUR he is captured & tortured by THE WOMAN IN CHARGE by arousal methods & truth serum, before being freed by a young slave within her Dominican sex ring. The 2 become close, and the FIRST SARGENT wants to help free others like her, by devising a final military maneuver to stop ASP'S ambitious weapons/slave trade goals! MTF: WAR MACHINE: *tribute complete* 1. SUPREME COMMANDER 2. SABOTEUR 3. ENVOY 4. RANGER 5. ASP TROOPER 6. MASTER SERGENT 7. WHITE NINJA 8. FIRST SARGENT From L-R/T-B: Saboteur (Firefly), Ranger (Beachhead), White Ninja (Storm Shadow), Master Sargent (Snake Eyes), Asp Trooper (Cobra Trooper), Envoy (Scarlett), First Sargent (Duke), Supreme Commander (Cobra Commander) Last edited by Steel Brigade; 11-11-2021 at 05:25 PM.. |

SEASON 8: MARAUDERGEDDON (An alternate universe story line with a post-apocalyptic setting, featuring dystopian characters, more exo-suits, & more ninjas!) SEASON 9: FUTURE WAR (Continuing the alternate universe story years later, most of the Earth's continents are now underwater due to Global changes! With our terrain near uninhabitable, the MTF leads humanity to find a new frontier, while fighting off the remaining threats vying for what's left of our own planet!) *FUTURE WAR takes place in 20XX, several years after Armageddon. With most of the world now underwater, Earth's population has been decimated, and many of it's remaining inhabitants are looking to leave to find a new frontier, but their destination is unknown. Desperate for humanities survival, the Marauder Task Force is leading the way, & there has been vast advancements in science, with more cybernetics being made, and more ways to cope with the ever-changing environment... but also the opposite has happened, with more horrific experiments created by rogue science, more enemy players vying for control, & an unknown destiny awaiting what's left of mankind! >>>The other prior seasons will still continue with an expanding cast.<<< Expect to see in FUTURE WAR... More Exo-Suits! More cyber-enhanced characters! More Ninjas! More Wrath & Enemy Players! More Neo-Noks! New Japanese Anti/Heroines series (based on Japanese & Japanese inspired films!) More Custom made parts! +Introducing Vitruvian Armory parts! And more crazy characters! #269/X66. SCIENCE DIRECTOR GREG D. SCOTT (based on GI Joe Star Brigade "Robo-Joe") Ex-Marauder Task Force Affiliate Origin: USA Season 9 Yup... I just added what many consider the "Worst Joe Ever" to my MTF Universe! ROBO-JOE! lol! I remember passing this guy a few times at Kaybee Toy Stores in my late teens & thinking he was a Terminator cash-in (cuz he is). But when devising my new 9th Season titled "Future War," I got inspired as to how I could expand the futuristic-dystopian theme, while still paying homage to the toy line that mostly inspired this thread in the first place! As I was devising my initial roster, ROBO-JOE seemed like the perfect candidate in combining an MTF creation with my story... look... & really got the ball rolling! I did more swapping with the exo-parts this time, & since orange is not available for the MGR exo-suit releases (& his original coloring being a more yellow-orange than a red-orange) I went with yellow for my exo-suit color choice! I knew Spartan 1:18 had a couple of good battle damaged Terminator heads that could make this one even more special & his attention to the painted details makes this one really shine! I hope you guys will enjoy this new Season as much as I have putting it all together! GREG D. SCOTT, a scientific engineering genius, was head of developing Exo-technology in the U.S. branch of Advanced ROBO-tics, after the original facility in Japan had mostly flooded & sunk to below normal operating conditions, due to climate change that had vastly accelerated over the last decade. The latest development was for the Exo-technology to be adaptable for space as Earth was becoming completely uninhabitable. A rogue competitor, M.A.R.S Industries, a weapons developer & supplier for over a century based in Scotland, has survived by supplying the enemies, terrorists, & upstarts of peace, with their state of the art munitions. M.A.R.S. wanted this new secret exo-development technology to give them another lead in the ever growing need for aggressive survival in a dying world. Lead by WAR MASTER, the M.A.R.S. military faction raided the MTF Labs & stole plans, technology, & equipment from the labs while fatally wounding the brave GREG D. SCOTT. Shattered & a shell of the man he once was, SCOTT survived by being rebuilt with the same technology (both inside & out) he helped to develop by his loyal scientist teammates. When SCOTT was able to, he started working again on the technology he had been infused with in private, but as time went on & frustrations grew, he became mad, broken, & bent on revenge against WAR MASTER & M.A.R.S for his fate. Fleeing the facilities that he had once helped brought to life, SCOTT has gone rogue & has broke his ties with the MTF in hopes of crushing WAR MASTER & M.A.R.S. in his own personal vendetta... no matter the cost!

#270/X67. GALLY (based on Gunnm/Battle Angel/Alita: Battle Angel)
Neutral/Hunter Warrior (Bounty Hunter) Origin: Unknown Season 9 *Japanese Anti/Heroines series *The new Japanese Anti/Heroines series showcases female characters that have been in Japanese B-movies (& Japanese inspired movies) over the years. The reason I list them as Anti/Heroines is because even though they are usually the heroes of the film, they are usually broken characters that achieve heroism by taking out the even badder guys with less than heroic means. Splatter films, exploitation films, genre films, & the types of films I love to collect from Japan will be explored in this series... & we are starting off with the most well-known character from my growing list...BATTLE ANGEL! My brothers & I have been huge fans of Battle Angel since the 90s. I have the anime 90's VHS & upgrade DVD lol, (+4K of the new movie) & the original color Marmit figure. My brother has several high end collectables & countless versions of the new Alita movie from several countries (& is a big supporter for making a sequel.) Needless to say when Spartan 1:18 offered a "Alita" head, plans quickly went into motion to create a 1:18 MTF version of her. Based heavily on her look in the anime with some recent Movie flourishes, I tried to create the Ultimate 1:18 version. Besides the MTF body and gear & Spartan 1:18 head, she uses a Reaction Kyle Reese Jacket, & Boss Fight sword! Some say that the bounty hunter known as GALLY fell from the sky & was rebuilt by a man that she called her father... & that eventually he lost control of her & she started acting in a form of violent vigilante justice by taking on bounties & using a strange form of martial arts that no one could identify. Others say that she was a prototype cyborg made in a lab, as part of a secret experiment using alien technology, to create super soldiers during the years of the Armageddon War by a rogue far-east country. She has been sited in various locations from the slums of Peru to the high-end areas of Tokyo, taking bounties while trying to find any link to the secrets of her past. Her mostly cybernetic body gives her amazing strength & athleticism, & the blade she carries (of unknown origin) is able to cut through solid steel. The MTF have labeled her a "subject of interest," but she is difficult to locate due to her not contacting the owners of the bounty until after the mission is completed (unbeknownst to them that she has even taken the assignment), her small unassuming stature, & ability to blend into various locations without ever being noticed.
