I actually like how I don’t have to click on the pictures, even if it doesn’t keep the visual tidiness you had going before.

Saw Bones is an awesome code name, and I like how she got it. I really like the Lifeline color scheme, definitely pops.

I also like how you used the Marcus concept art. Great ideas there.

There will be some "New Recruits" prior to that good buddy! I have some Season 2 characters left to reveal (which I will post in the coming weeks...) & then a whole new themed Season 3 that I will be rolling out in early September with lots of new builds & a new story arc!


*Even when the Season 3 character reveals start, I still have other characters that will show up from the prior Seasons that I have not made yet, (like the remaining "Fury Force" characters) so there is still so much to come!

Black Rhino and Saw Bones look great SB! Like that you used Lifelines deco for not-Carla Greer.

NEW RECRUITS!!
#57 CODE NAME: BRAWN (based on the GI Joe ARAH character "Big Brawler")
Marauder Task Force
Origin: Hawaii

One of the new BIG heroes for "Season 2" of my MTF Universe is a "ultimate version" of "Big Brawler" mostly based on his original 2001 figure with touches from his later versions. I wanted a master fighter that would be great for both the martial arts side & the artillery side of the story that I concocted for this arc of my MTF-verse, as well as a 2000-era fan favorite!

*He is part of 18 new characters that I have already created & assembled for Season 2 & the start of Season 3 that will be revealed in the coming weeks!

BRAWN grew up in Hawaii and was able to learn martial arts and swordplay early on thanks to Japanese & Chinese immigrants who were as eager to share with him as he was to learn. Constantly pushing himself to new boundaries & a quick study, BRAWN has always pushed himself to be over the top, whether it concerned survival skills, learning how to handle multiple forms of artillery, or pure physical combat, his intensity is admirable but also makes him a bit of a lone wolf. Since joining the MTF, he has gained both loyalty & friendship from his teammates and was deployed early on to help with the new Gunrunners movement in the Asian weapons black market. Often taking the lead officially (or unofficially) BRAWN'S contributions have been one of the key factors to the MTF getting a "kung-fu grip" on the opposition! Whether he is handling a sword, heavy artillery, or next gen weaponry, you can bet your already outmatched in strength, size, and skill when you run into this behemoth!

#58 CODE NAME: MAJOR MAYHEM (based on the Action Force character "Black Major")
Gunrunners
Origin: United Kingdom

I needed a new lead villain to head things up in the Gunrunners new black market weapons trade in Asia, and the new offerings from the MTF Agency Ops and officers cap helped define my MTF version of Action Force's very own Black Major! I like Action Force's inclusion in Joe-verse as well as the Club's O-ring offering from almost a decade ago, but felt it was time for a modern update for both figure & bio!

Ex-British Marine Commando & a traitor to his country - MAJOR MAYHEM has been associated with various terrorist groups over the years but recently aligned himself as a high ranking experienced commander with the Gunrunners. Known for his ties with the Asian black market and Yakuza, he was a natural choice to lead the underground movement the Gunrunners have opened in the Far East. Working in the shadows, he has aligned himself with the Shinjuku branch of the Yakuza & the ninja for hire mercenaries the Black Dragon clan for additional support. He offers much to his allies and his proven strategies have often been called psychic.

#59 CODE NAME: KUREHA (based on the ARAH character "Vypra '98")
Gunrunners
Origin: Japan

Truth be told, I didn't like that the Club's offering for Vypra didn't have the camo pattern of the original and was just blue... so I passed on her. Now with the new Chimera-Ops color scheme offered through MTF I could create that "ultimate" modern version of Vypra I was hoping for! I messed around with her look for a while but really enjoy how this final version turned out!

KUREHA and her sister Kikuno were shrine maidens & guardians of a sacred temple & weapons forge at the base of Mt. Fuji. Trained in martial arts, sword fighting, dance, cleansing, asusayumi & tamagushi, the sisters were both beautiful & strong. One day the temple was raided by Yakuza and the precious weapons were stolen as well as Kikuna was kidnapped. KUREHA escaped but has been in search for her lost sister ever since. She joined the Gunrunners when MAJOR MAYHEM was recruiting mercenaries & ninjas and traded her vivid red costume for a shadowy blue. Fearing her sister has been a victim of human trafficking (and avoiding the instance herself at recruitment with a black belt in Judo), her hopes are that with the ties the Gunrunners have to the Yakuza, she can uncover her sister's location and recover the lost weapons to help restore her honor. She has been traveling Japan for the Gunrunners as a courier for their black market dealings while being physically able to handle herself in various intense & troubling situations at the tender age of 18... and yet her greatest battle still awaits!
