NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
WAVE 77 381. FLY OUT (based on G.I. Joe ARAH "Grand Slam" version 2/'83 with JUMP jet pack) Marauder Task Force Origin: USA Season 9 I've always had the OG13 on my list to be represented in one of their timeline incarnations within my MTF Universe. Out of the ones I have left, some have been in the holding bin for for years due to the wait on the MTF 2020 heads. While others have been just due to slow commitment. Grand Slam falls into the latter, he just sat in my brain for a long time lol. Then I needed the green chest armor from the exo-suit for my Low Light homage (2 posts below) & the remainder finally went to that Grand Slam build I had in my head. I always knew he was going to be plussed up with the exo-suit, but I wanted a satisfying chest build that fits with the exo-suit backpack fit (now a build I have used a few times), & the color mix (shoulders/upper legs) from the parts bin to hit all the right notes... as I definitely prefer the silver pads on Grand Slam for more variation than the red/orange pads he shared with OG Flash. The original Grand Slam got saddled with the Grunt head, (which I don't think the head ((or name)) really fits the character), but the OG13 are reuse city, so my Grand Slam gets saddled with the uggo MTF "Hank" head lol. It's funny, I think my fave Grand Slam figure of all time was the ROC 2009 version with the glider, he came with the 25th Ace head that looked like one of my blood brothers lol. BIO: FLY OUT was always destined to become a hero. He spent all his time reading comics & watching movies, & his favorite hero was GEN. PATCH. He always idolized the retro war champion, so much so, that he tends to compare him today to his respected commander LT. SLATE, much to SLATE'S annoyance. SLATE thinks it's just because they both wear eye patches, but FLY OUT says otherwise... The comic geek, somehow, also just happens to be an ariel genius, & passed the AV8 Flight School with "flying colors." This lead him to the MTF, where he was one of the original testers of the exo-suits flight capabilities, & helped solidify the flight procedures used currently by their exo-squad today. Good natured & easy going, he is now working alongside VANGUARD & QUASAR to help locate his former associate in the exo-development program SCIENCE DIRECTOR GREG D. SCOTT & bring him to justice... before it's too late! Last edited by Steel Brigade; 03-11-2023 at 04:38 PM.. |

382. DEAD EYE (RED ZONE VERSION) (based on IDW G.I. Joe "Snake Eyes: Deadgame" comic/Threezero 12" figure)
Marauder Task Force Red Zone Version/Version 5 Origin: USA Season 9 *Special thanks to members AxonRey and Hit & Run for helping inspire my "Snake Eyes: Dead Game" build with their own! Red Snake Eyes needed to be in my collection because red is my favorite color & I don't have Snake Eyes in that color lol. I built this one at the same time as I built the gray/purple "Operation Avalanche" version, but held him back for variety/assortment reasons between releases. This wave is actually filled with all hold over figures for that very reason, as the entire wave was built months ago but kept getting shuffled for more varied assortments or themes within my monthly drops. To finalize my build, I also looked at the Threezero 1/6 figure for further reference. BIO: When the MTF got wind of WRATH'S secret development facility called the "Red Zone," they sent their one-man army DEAD EYE to investigate. Looking to abandon the facility now that the secret location has been revealed, WRATH sent SAPPER to retrieve their damning evidence of planned mass destruction & weapons development along with his band of INSURGENT TROOPERS. Already heavily guarded by SPECTRAL TROOPERS & CYBER TROOPERS, DEAD EYE'S ninja commando skills will be put to the test, but is there another unknown visitor that could help?

383. NIGHT SHIFT (SHARPSHOOTER VERSION) (based on G.I. Joe ARAH "Low Light" '91)
Marauder Task Force Sharpshooter Version/Version 2 Origin: USA Season 9 Had this version of Low Light growing up (along with the original) & loved them both. I've wanted to add him to my MTF Universe roster for sometime but was always a bit perplexed by the build, then one day I got it! It's that exo-suit armor piece that I needed to add to solve my personal puzzle. It's funny because this build actually helped inspire other builds I have coming down the pipeline. Since this one is in the alternate universe from my first Low Light homage, I don't have to comment on why his hair (& added mustache/beard) are dark now lol. BIO: Known as the "Commanders Of Darkness" NIGHT SHIFT has been tasked with a small, but fast moving surveillance team, to find out the ever-moving location of the supreme commander pulling the strings behind WRATH... the man known simply, as MASTERMIND. If ever the opportunity happens, NIGHT SHIFT has to move into position quickly & strike to kill this powerful raging mad man... his sniper rifle busting thru that armored head... with no second chances! |

384. DESTRO (MERCENARY VERSION) (based on G.I. Joe Spy Troops "Destro")
M.A.R.S. Origin: Scotland 'NAM 19XX Never in the history of this thread, have I done more retakes on a character, than this final version of Destro. Why? Well I'll tell you... When creating my Red Jackal homage, I bought a lot of parts to crack the code, enough for 2 Destros to be made. When I happily finished my Red Jackal build, I was left with enough parts to still create another version of Destro, & this time, I thought I would play into the Egyptian theme, as I thought the Boss Fight Anubis headdress worked well for a classic Destro. But after several variations on this Egyptian Destro (& even a story to back it, calling him "DEST-ROH," & having him be themed this way as a flamboyant handshake to help strike a deal with the upcoming Eagle Force "Forgotten King" figure)... I hated looking at him on my shelf. I even watched the classic Sunbow G.I. Joe Egyptian themed episode "The Gods Below" to help make him agreeable with me, but Destro isn't even on that episode lol! I felt maybe I'd "jumped the shark." So I took him all apart after months of variations & built the Spy Troops version of Destro instead, who I actually like. He's kinda of a street thug meets cowboy version of the character that I enjoy much more. This just showed me that all of my figure builds now have to serve a purpose in my collection... my head-canon... & they can't be throwaways that I feel were made just for the heck of it to use up parts & give you a wink-wink-nudge-nudge lol. ;-) BIO: As the owner of M.A.R.S. & second command of the terrorist organization COBRA, DESTRO is known for his calculated cunning, coolness under fire, & ruthless determination. But sometimes, the usually regal figurehead, likes to get his hands dirty. Doing mercenary deals in abandoned warehouses, dealing out pain in the torture room, or testing his own wares at the firing range... DESTRO is not afraid to take charge to see his own destructive results... And recently an impersonator called the CRIMSON JACKAL, has become a person of interest!

385. GEN. PATCH (based on Galoob's "Gen. Patch" 1982)
Media Hero Origin: The U S of A! Season 9 "Weapons With The Smell of Battle." Parts-bin build! When doing a search of similar lines to ARAH, I came across GEN. PATCH by Galoob on the old "Joe A Day" site... a K-mart KO Joe! Couldn't help but notice I had most of the parts already for him in the parts bin. This is where a parts-bin build works for me unlike the aforementioned Egyptian Destro lol. Clear vision & ready to go! The only part that was a challenge was the thread fiction. I already have Major Blood & LT. Stone homages... how many "patch" guys do I need? Well one more, cause this guy is named "Patch" & this is how he works for me... BIO: GEN. PATCH is the hero of countless comic books, media, & toys before the Armageddon War. A classic hero fighting the bad guys, saving the girl, winning the day (& hearts) of many children. He helped inspire Marauder Task Force members such as FLY OUT, & his tales still continue to be told in this "Future War" world, as a sense of comfort, inspiration, & daring, a reminder to fight against your oppressors & the evils challenging the remainder of society!

Everyone of these rules! I'm actually working on ME versions of that Destro and v2 of that LowLight. Good stuff.
And now I kind of want to do a General Patch also

5 stars for 5 great builds SB! I consider myself a huge Snake Eyes fan but surprisingly the standouts for me in this batch are Low-Light and General Patch. Keep up the excellent work bud.
