#208/X25. BOSCAGE (JUNGLE RECON VERSION) (Jungle Recon MK2 Geared-Up Figure/based on GI Joe ARAH Recondo)
Marauder Task Force
Jungle Recon Version/Version 2
Origin: USA
Season 8

*I liked this MGR build Recondo the best of the ones offered thus far, & decided to purchase lol. I added the shemagh for full neck coverage & swapped out the given legs for the camo legs that matched the rolled up poncho better, & also tributes the original Recondo a bit more. I would also like to change his Aussie hat to the green color when those come back in stock.

BOSCAGE is part of the elite survival squad that was started in the "MTF Recruitment & Rescue" activation division by founding member COLONEL GRIT & also contains notable member FALLBACK. The squad started immediately after the Armageddon War ended & a new international team called the MARAUDER TASK FORCE began to bring the world back to some kind of order. The infamous start-squad began with some heavy vehicles and medical personal in the USA & has since traveled around to many desperate countries offering relief & also looking for capable former soldiers to join the fight against the new enemy that has formed named WRATH. In countries like Brazil, Indonesia, & Columbia, civilians and medical personal started exploring the jungle regions to stay hidden, building camps, tree houses, and fortifications. BOSCAGE is the man in charge of locating these new retreats & leading any kind of assistance that the MTF can provide.

#209/X26. PUSH TROOPER(S) (based on GI Joe Battle Corps "Head Hunter Storm Troopers" )
Wrath
Origin: Various
Season 8

Parts bin build! When thinking of ways to use remaining yellow & gray parts I came across the HH Storm Trooper as a good fit (w/yellow replacing gold). I just needed to find a way to recreate the head effectively lol. Using a remaining "Jaw" head I did not use on my Overkill build, & trying various ways tor recreate the eyes, I liked the red night vision goggles in the down position best! This character also worked well for the story line I was creating with "The Outlaws" as part of my bios. The person who designed the original figure in GI Joe made him very left-handed on his pack out, & that definitely carried over here when recreating him. It's interesting & gratifying to see 'Tank member & friend @Hit&Run recreate the same character completely differently with some amazing imagination used around the very same time for 2 very different takes!

PUSH TROOPERS are ex-MIDNIGHT TROOPERS that were re-assigned from an unholy pact made between SKULL HAWK & the CANDYMAN. An elite force used as guardians of urban crime, & in this case... the sales & distribution of drugs within SKULL HAWK'S kingdom. They are also active bodyguards to their leader CANDYMAN, & oversee a lot of the drug trafficking that occurs within his vast territory. With prices being at an all-time high, & availability being diminished by trade disputes between former cartels after the Armageddon War, the CANDYMAN's operation has flourished. As difficult to deal with as the MIDNIGHT TROOPERS, the PUSH TROOPERS will be in for a fight to the death with THE OUTLAWS & their upcoming planned invasion & destruction of the CANDYMAN's operations!

#210 DRACO (based on GI Joe Oktober Guard character Dragonsky '06)
W.A.S.P
Origin: Russia
Season 4

When planning out my recreated Oktober Guard, Dragonsky was in my "original 10" line-up from back when I first started them when the WWII stuff had dropped. The 2006 version being the most stand out for me, but I had to wait until the MTF "Command-Ops" red bodies came back into stock. After that putting him together was easy, except I had to find a creative way to homage the legs and using the all purple MTF legs didn't look very good, so replacing the purple with black here I think I came up with an effective solution. The MGR crew threw in a purple armor mask as a freebie with this order & Dragonsky became kind of an "ultimate version" with the 2 head options, as I could also homage the Club's 2014 take!

DRACO comes from a long history of soldiers in his bloodline & acts as W.A.S.P.'s chief mechanic, welder, & is in charge of incendiary weapons. These days a flamethrower soldier may seem barbaric, but DRACO "The Dragon" has kept this important secondary position on the W.A.S.P. team as mostly a destroyer of any evidence that W.A.S.P. was involved in, or as a destroyer of "goods" that W.A.S.P. cannot posses & also does not want the enemy to have. In this case, let's say...alien technology. So if the enemy...perhaps the MTF or STRONG ARM themselves, happen to go up in flames as well during one of DRACO's barbecues... it's a "happy accident."

As stated before sweet Nancy these are awesome!! And seeing the back of the Wrath, he could be a great Python Patrol ( Crimson Guard maybe!)

[Mr Hebime]

Damn SB, talk about a mic drop! You improved upon the geared-up figures with a few changes and absolutely killed it with the others. Bravo!
