#139 DIABLO (based on GI Joe Argen7 "Redmack")
Strong Arm Origin: USA Season: 4 As I start closing in on my final few Argen7 roster, I had a hard time deciding which body to use for Redmack and not make him to derivative of other similar builds that I have already done, or plan on, as he is a recolor of the OG13 parts & is similar to my build for Bushmaster. In the end I decided that the Desert-Ops body was still the best representation in MTF, but could still spruce him up with some fun add-ons! DIABLO grew up in a remote part of Colorado where he took to mountain climbing to escape the controlling authorities of his small town. He was one with nature but not with people. He grew disillusioned with the politics of home & the USA and bounced around the international underworld with mercenaries and rogue armies trying to find something worth fighting for. Then he found a home with Argentina's Special Forces Group code named Strong Arm. Strong Arm promised him that they were looking out for the world & mother nature's best interests, & that they could use his help with the superpowers that have helped ruin the environment. Now he acts as their leading scout & recon trooper and has been assigned as the expedition front-man for Strong Arm to push the chase for the secret technology in Moldova!

#140 CALAMITY JANE (based on GI Joe Complan Commando "Canary Ann")
Marauder Task Force Origin: Portugal Season: 7 Some of my favorite builds come from when I push myself more creatively with the catalog. I have had 3 Lady Jaye "characters" so far in my MTF Universe (Renegades, Volga, & the MGR Intel Ops), but still very much wanted to include the very rare & unique colored Complan Commando "Canary Ann" in my homages. The original figure presents some interesting challenges in MGR as there are no yellow girl parts... The solution for me was by using the yellow gear & yellow male legs to cover the trademark Canary Ann yellow, which not only do the male legs fit great on the female waist, but also give a nice more full (or baggy) pants look. I'm sure I'm not even close to the first to use this technique but with those additions, choosing the black T-shirt and the red German M43 cap, I really love how different she came out! One of my new faves! *Yup...4th Yellow Harness bought lol! CALAMITY JANE grew up as a top gymnastics star in Portugal but after her famed run was over she wanted to continue to be a credit to her country. Speaking several languages and completing various successful spy missions for SIS, lead to her being recently noticed as a "New Recruit" for the MTF. Now she is serving in their Intelligence division & has been assigned for her first field mission with the MTF on operation "Wild Strike." VINDICATOR almost cancelled her from the roster as during the debriefing she reminded him too much of a young version of his MIA wife, but was advised by the top brass otherwise. She has hit it off with one of the other "New Recruits" CHECKMATE, & they chose matching harnesses & caps for their first MTF mission out. Last edited by Steel Brigade; 07-28-2020 at 03:57 PM.. |

More great figures! Especially the foreign ones. That Canary Ann build in particular is really cool.

I think they all look great SB, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between General Hawk and the Cobra Officer.

Nice version of Hawk! Really cool that you were able to do a no-paint version, wouldn’t have thought that could be done. At some point I definitely need to make the talking backpack version of this Hawk.
NOA came out great, good use of Val parts. Still have a bunch that I need to use up so always cool to see new ideas for them. That’s an awesome Cobra Trooper! Really like the knee pads and the gray German webgear & gun for him. Diablo is another that cane out really well with no paint, and really cool build for Canary Ann! She was one I’ve always been interested in for whatever reason so fun to see a new uniqu build for her!
