#27. CODE NAME: COLLIDER (based on the M.A.S.K. figure of "Gloria Baker." )
Marauder Task Force
Origin: USA

This is one I came up with while looking at the classic 80's M.A.S.K. figures. I always liked that Hasbro gave us Matt Trakker, but wished they would of filled out the M.A.S.K. roster more. So I made a MTF Gloria Baker! She (along with Matt & Brad) was my favorite on the animated series growing up. Marauders doesn't have the yellow bodies for the Valks yet (maybe never), so I went with the action figure colors to make this "My MTF Universe" homage!

COLLIDER is the MTF's transport specialist. When the MTF cracks down on the Gunrunners operations, it's up to COLLIDER to get the merch out of the hot seat. A trained martial artist and former stunt car driver, she is also proficient at hacking security networks. When many onlookers see her behind the wheel they can't believe it's a beautiful young lady under the MASK!

Gunrunners
Origin: Ukraine

One of my goals with MTF is to recreate the GI Joe Pulse characters that were not made into figures. So I am starting with "Black Jack." I looked at the Hasbro art design and some customs that have been made previously and tried to come up with my best representation within MTF. I added the extra touch of the skull/spade stickers from Marauders to his arm patch and briefcase. I have to say I love how he turned out!


SPADE is the bodyguard to CHARLATAN. Hired by her father at a young age to protect her, he is loyal only to her (as her rich father pays the mercenaries hefty fee.) He does not question her true allegiance as it makes no difference to him, just as long as the money keeps flowing, (although that is questionable, as he has grown fond of CHARLATAN since she began her military/secret agent career.) He also acts as her trainer and backup to cover her tracks. A skilled marksmen and sniper, he makes sure that she is never revealed while being deep undercover!

That is awesome. I hope that Troy has seen that.

I can't wait to see Whisper and Marcus.

SB I always check back to this thread to see when you might drop new characters and you do not disappoint. These are great. Splendid work my friend!

Cool characters/figures! I love seeing obscure and crossover characters made into customs, especially since Hasbro isn't giving us anything new, that is unless you are in the Collectors Club... Anyways, thanks for sharing your creations, as always!
