Freight
Head - GvsC Heavy Duty Body - Bazooka Webgear - Roadblock Overall, quite simple, but making sure to get a brown color to match Heavy Duty's head skin tone was tough, but it seemed to work well with the color I tried out. Getting the head on was simple, as I just sliced off part of the neck, stabbed a nail into the underside of HD's head, and then stuck it in the hold I made on Bazooka's body, along with some glue. I cannot turn the head, but it worked really well. I chose Bazooka because his body had the right build for someone of Freight's stature, plus they both wore a jersey, so I figured it was the best option with minimal paint required. The only down side is I cannot get the paint on his elbow joints to stop rubbing off, and I tried coating it with glue after the paint had dried.

General Philip Rey
Head - Hawk Body - Firefly Armor - Wraith Upper Legs - Firefly Lower Legs - Wraith Like Zandar, there is nothing special with General Rey. I pretty much copied what other people here have done. On the down side, I cannot paint eyebrows for crap.

Tracker
Head and Body - Tunnel Rat Legs - Grand Slam Dakota - DVD pack Timber Webgear - Hawk Tracker is pretty much just Tunnel Rat with some Sculpey and different legs, but his body, especially the head, was what worked best due to his bandanna. A bandanna made out of Sculpey is just awful looking. Unfortunately, I am unable to fully sand off the warpaint on his arms due to the creases of the muscles, so some of it looks shoddy, but there is nothing I can do for those at the moment.

Rampage
Head - Wild Weasel Body - Shipwreck Upper Legs - Shipwreck Lower Legs - IG Destro Upper body armor - BBQ Lower arms - Grand Slam I'm not sure what it was, but Rampage is pretty much an amalgamation of left over parts, minus Wild Weasel's head and BBQ's shoulder armor. I was originally going to use BBQ's body, but Rampage had normal pants on in the comic, which to me, looked more like Shipwreck's pants, and while the body was slight different, being that he was going to have some armor on anyway, I decided Shipwreck's body fit the best, as it also meant his arms were reveales a bit even though I don't recall Rampage having sleeves at all, just gloves. The backpack itself also came from a Torch I already used, as it was the only thing I had left that somewhat resembled Rampage's backpack, minus a gun attached to it.

Thanks. :-)
Metalhead Head - Wave 7 Baroness Body - Destro Lower Arms - Comic Pack Shipwreck Nothing really to say here other than Baroness' head was the best fit for Metalhead. Sculpey did not work for him due to the collar, and since W7 Baroness' face had no lipstick, adding a light beard to it, made it look like a man's face. Plus I felt the glasses fit Metalhead's persona very well, seeing as he was temporaily in that band during the second season. Finally, I also felt that Shipwreck's tatoo on his arm fit him as well.

Wreckage
Head - Steeler Body and Left Arm - Torch Legs - Ripper Right Arm - Destro Wreckage is the hardest to do, mostly because it is trying to figure out how to do him. I might go back and do something different some day, but right now, I used what I had to create this walking frankenstein. Destro's arm fit best to be Wreckage's robotic arm, so with some glue and using pieces of Ripper's hose for wires, he pretty much came to life. His hair and eye patch are sculpey, but like Ballistic's hair, I keep thinking it is going to break at the slightest touch. Lastly, while they are not visible on the pictures, I took an exacto knife to various areas of his body and did some slicing for scars.

Thanks. I always found Ballistic cool, but he felt dumbed down in the second season, especially with his sudden name change.
As for Black Dragon, he was always my favorite from Extreme, and I was never happy with the actual figure that came out, so I had a blast making one that felt closer to the show/comic in design.
