If any of you have checked out my stuff here or elsewhere, you know I have a custom verse I'm working on. Without getting too detail heavy, the bad guys are formed from old Cobra, Hydra, MARS, VENOM, etc... types of groups. So the new baddie, MEDUSA has troops which reflect their origin.
These figures are mostly from one specific platoon of MEDUSA Elites (who have identified themselves as the WarPigs). The Elites carry over a look from the old Cobra Crimson Guard. These will be individualized members of the platoon, but also demonstrate some of the various classes of soldiers within the MEDUSA Elites Division. Other Divisions will similarly draw their inspiration from other organizations. First up is the Commander in Chief of the MEDUSA Elites Division, General Gunther Gutz. Of Eastern European descent, General Gutz cut his teeth as the second in command in the mercenary army led by Major Sebastian Bludd, in the early years of the Cobra wars, when the exploits of old Bludd and Gutz gained much glory for the Cobra organization. Later indoctrinated directly into the Cobra ranks, Gutz moved quickly up the chain of command. With The Commander and, to a lesser extent, Destro out of the picture, Gutz found himself the highest ranking officer within Cobra, promoted himself to General, and as the leader of the strongest arm of the MEDUSA military, secured himself a spot in the High Council.

Next up is a generic trooper who represents the mold of soldier known as a High Council Guard. Even within MEDUSA, this is the type of soldier most likely to retain the Crimson Guard moniker. In the field, they serve as pikemen. Most often soldiers of this mold will serve as guards for the highest officers present in any setting, up to and including members of the high council.

As indicated, many of these individualized soldiers are being shown from the Platoon dubbed the WarPigs. Mostly, the traditional CG uniform is employed, but with some changes when fitting. Here is the Commander of the WarPig Platoon, Captain Dalton T. Striker. Overall the WarPigs are something of a group of misfits within the Elites Division. In fact Misfits was almost their title. While many of the troops who comprise this platoon are wildcards and jokers (other names considered), they are often regarded as the best of the best. It is Captain Striker’s job to instill some level of discipline and cooperation in these soldiers, who come from various nations all over the world, and blend them into a cohesive fighting machine. With this tough task, it is no surprise that General Gutz gave the platoon to Striker, a renowned disciplinarian. His ‘baton’ is a double bladed billy club, and he uses it without mercy to get his point across.

The regulars of the MEDUSA Elites do have a uniformed look, even within the WarPig Platoon. Here is a sampling of that look.

And here is Sgt. Onyeji, who serves as the staff sergeant to Captain Striker, but also is directly charged with keeping the grunts in line.

Here is one of the more interesting characters from the unit, Prince Abdullah. The Prince is merely a grunt, by rank, but has appointed himself as an officer of the people, as it were, and affords himself luxuries that no other regular can. He is constantly attended to by a staff of followers, including a set of bodyguards, and other servants, even in the field. The higher ups have allowed this to continue because Prince Abdullah is a fine fighter, because the allegiance between MEDUSA and the Prince’s father is a fresh and delicate one, and if for no other reason, because his armed guard participates in combat, to aid the platoon.

Thanks guys. More coming still...
The transportation specialist of the WarPigs, codenamed: Komodo. His real identity is unknown, though he seems to be of Asian origin. His uniform is not unlike that of any other transportation officer within the Elites, except that he goes to great lengths to never remove his helmet, thus adding to his mystique. He also chooses to speak through a voice modifier, though none know if he is capable of speech independent of the device, or whether it affords built in translation. |

A generic soldier type here, that carries over the look regardless of which unit he is in – the Red Viper. Mostly associated with an airborne trooper, but more along the lines of a Navy SEAL in that the airborne factor is merely one mode of insertion for this soldier. Simply referring to him as a commando is much more appropriate, and each platoon of Elites will usually have one Red Viper in the ranks to carry out a diverse range of missions.
