Okay, so this round we have Hot Shot, Orion, Rampage, Winter Warrior, and Chopin. All look nice, but I am going to have to give you some props for Hot Shot and Rampage, two figures that I think you knocked out of the ballpark! I always thought that Sgt Savage was a cool character, and it would have been cool to see him added to the line during the ME. And BF 2000 was actually a good idea, and with a little tweaking could have been much better. Think of them as the Joe liaisons to the Transformers, maybe using Cybertronian tech in their vehicles. Anyway, getting back to your figures, I like them... all of them!

Loving Rampage, and also what you have done with that tomahawk on Hot Shot (I have always struggled to use that accessory)

Oh wow! Orion and Chopin are my favorite. I did a Payload that I ordered the pieces for back a few months ago. I never had the vintage figure but for some reason I am really fond of the character.

Your Blaster has inspired me! I have been working on adding a similar one to my collection based on your build and I’m finishing up Avalanche now.
So my question is, how long are you going to keep me waiting before you release more builds?

Great additions!
Sgt. Savage is great, may inspire me to make a similar one. How did you do the belt / shoulder webgear?The camo vest on Blaster is an inspired homage to the ARAH figure. BTW, I really liked the ensemble shelf picture in the other thread. Very impressive to see them all together. Thanks for all the kind words! The Sgt. Savage webgear is the Japanese Officer belt just not over the head to the opposite shoulder, with the WWII Rifle Ammo Bandolier over it which also helps keep it in place. The ensemble shelf pic is only shelf number#1 for MTF, shelf #2 (not pictured) is almost full! lol!! Quote:

-Todd Shakka85 Thanks bro! The Blaster was also a big hit on the MTF Facebook, I'm glad to see he has been so well received! Quote:
Thanks! I carried over the idea of the tomahawk from when I made the Steel Brigade/1st Hot Shot incarnation, since it's the same character *in this universe*, and loved that it worked even better this time! ;-) Quote:
Cool man! Quote:
I'm so glad! I have had a couple people ask me for his recipe on social media! Looking fwd to seeing your Avalanche! =) As for more MTF builds, I have the next 3 made, but like to do drops of 5 characters now. I have 2 in the mail, and another 6 ordered! LOL! So it's possible there my be a "New Recruits" lineup as early as this Saturday (or next), I only do "New Recruits" on Saturdays (now). Keep in mind that SOME of these are "Geared-Up" figures that have been offered on the site, plus my originals. The only challenge I'm facing is the same as everyone else, I have a lot of figures I want to build still, but the limits of the "in stock" items left on the site have many characters in the "waiting until the restock" status! |

SB I am working on saving some pics of your figs (hope you don’t mind) as templates for future customs. It’s hard right now with a lot of stuff out of stock but as soon as I can restock I hope you won’t be disappointed.
![]() By the way, if your drawing there of Jinx was a real person she would be my girl instead of Brie and Emmy and Gretchen.

I already complimented you on MTF Facebook page, but this custom is so awesome that it deserves it here too.
Just fracking AWESOME!👍🏽 I’m pretty sure I’ll eventually copy this “Blaster”.

NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
#116 HYENA TROOPER(S) (based on ARAH "Skull Squad Trooper") Gunrunners Origin: Various Season: 6 The "Skull Squad Trooper" was listed as #57 on my master MTF Universe list, and finally made the cut at #111 after the wonderful "Geared-Up Mercenary" figure was released and gave this build more purpose in my universe. Once I put him together he looks very formidable & I am pleased with how he turned out! HYENA TROOPERS are DINGO JACK'S powerhouse elite force, that surround him at all times. Rumor has it that they are an early regime that was in the Marauder Task Force and were brainwashed by the Gunrunners after capture in a similar technique to AGENT FORESIGHT with an added fierce loyalty and extra dash of insane. The fact that they wear a "grayed-out" MTF symbol on their helmets lends itself to this speculation, but the MTF top brass will neither confirm or deny their past allegiance or origin. Some think they are called HYENA TROOPERS because they are tasked under DINGO JACK & his Australian background , others say it's their insane laughter when they torture or kill their enemies... that the Troopers refer to as "prey" ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Steel Brigade; 06-07-2020 at 12:02 PM.. |

#117 GILGAMESH (based on Argen7 "Cobra Mortal")
Strong Arm Origin: Argentina Season: 4 The MTF Geared-Up "Marauder Mortal" maybe a tie with their prior MTF Geared-Up Argen7 member "Val Argentinian Pilot" as their best store homage to date. They really went all out to make a great figure for a great price that would be expensive to make with a lot of hard to use left over parts! It is a conscious effort on my part (because we got so many figures of him in the Modern Era,) but I am at 117 figures now in my MTF Universe & this is the first homage to a Snake -Eyes figure (not counting "Spook" as he was a precursor to Snake Eyes.) in my line-up! The figurehead ninja will probably make an appearance at some point here but I have impressed myself in that I haven't recreated one as of yet and have presented more obscure characters. I really love what they did with the "Mortal" (especially the arrows idea) & I am proud that this is the version of him has been added to my collection! GILGAMESH is a triple agent. Hired by Strong Arm to impersonate & function as a military guide to lead the MTF in the Moldova alien arms race. But he was actually hired by DINGO JACK well before DINGO'S presence to the MTF was actually known. He wears a special & unique suit that can render him nearly invisible that was stolen by him and the developers he murdered for stealth operations in Brazil. He has a reputation in the mercenary sector as the man who won't die, as a famous story of him taking many rounds to his body from a militia and not hitting the ground has circulated, making him an infamous legend. His kill numbers are despicable quantities of military, government officials, and civilians alike, and he prefers arrows to ammo. He will end up betraying the MTF to Strong Arm and then Strong Arm to the Gunrunners. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Steel Brigade; 06-07-2020 at 12:06 PM.. |
