Many thanks for the comments . While there are people interested in seeing them, I'll keep posting. Just make sure you let me know so ;) .
5 more; Firerain; Action Force flamethrower specialist; Mars Viper; This is a small step for the world, but a great step for Cobra! Cobra has arrived to Mars! Hurrah! Long live Cobra Commander! yes, Cobra have been looking for a challenge, and with their advanced technology, the colonization of Mars has become a reality. Metro Viper; Cobra has ordered a new specific Viper to pilot the Cobra Rage. Due to budget limitations, the same suit of Track Viper has been used with modified capabilities. Roadbasher; the Dreadnoks have found something in the car graveyard that has taken their attention.... a discarded Snowmobile? call Monkeywrench! that calls for some Dreadnok engineering! Stronghold; GI Joe specialized in holding out and preparing defensive positions. The main idea of this custom came from the accesory, which I don't know where it came but it is very cool.

Thanks a lot . Itchweed, this is the recipe;
Snowmobile body Front wheels AWE Striker Front axle - unknown (something weird where the AWE wheels would fit perfectly) Gatling: from a 90s Aliens Kenner figure Back deposit; Eco Warriors Back plate; Cobra Stun Chain and hook; Spawn figure Small add-ons; various bootlegs or unidentified parts Stljoe, I think that fire effect came from Star Wars. It was a weird sphere in fire, which I half cut and glued. 5 more; TAR 2; (Trooper Automatic Robot) this is the TAR made specifically for explosives manipulation. They have been made as to be of one use, they are in charge of carrying a explosive device to a Cobra base for example, and detonate it, and if something goes wrong before just a robot has been lost. They are also used to deactive explosives. Turbo Viper; I always thought that such a cool backpack needed a own action figure. The motorized battle packs would have been probably much more succesful if sold with a figure. Anyway, Turbo Viper is prepared to accelerate to tremendous speeds, in those situations where inmmediate action is needed. Thanks to it's low profile, Turbo Vipers can advance through sewers, channel lines, and through the traffic without having to stop. Here another vehicle, the Vanguard. I made this tank for the Action Force, in special night camouflage. Killer Whale South Wind; I had this Killer Whale with some pieces missing, and I thought; such a dark green is rather dull, why not customize it? and so I did. This is my biggest GI Joe custom up to date. Basically it is a repaint with some extra weapons added. Aircrash; I had a spare Backblast missile launcher to customize, and I thought a nemesis for Backblast would be in order, so was born Aircrash.

Thanks to all . Makes me happy to share them and see people interested in them, in oringology . We are going further to the past with each post, before I make pics to the latest customs I made and I post some of the groups I did.
5 more; TAR 3; (yes, this is the last one :-P ). The third version of the GI Joe robot answer to the BAT. This version is the radioactive bio-hazard purpose, with enhanced systems not to succumb against radiation (severe radioactive radiation can stop robots, as happened in Fukushima). Vital to fight against Toxo Vipers without risking valious operatives, or to contain radioactive material. (those familiar with ToyBiz Spiderman will recognize the weapons ) Arctic Rock Viper; I had a Rock Viper so yellowed he seemed made for desert warfare, so in order to increase my armies I decided to customize it. I thought that it would be cool to have a Rock Viper just made for completely arctic conditions, to climb ice mountains, and camouflaged as such. Sorry for the pictures, as we are getting to the older customs, in which my photography skills weren't so good. Cobra Sailor; This is one of my favourites, although one of the oldest, for the sheer simplicity of it. Cobra cannot afford to waste thousands of $ equipping Lampreys everywhere, and the manifest clumsyness of Cobra Troopers in sea duties made necessary a Cobra specification for a Cobra Trooper, with minimum equipment but a specific training in sea-duties. Thus was born the Cobra Sailor! DIC Metal Head; always loved the character, more by his design than his actions, and only knew it from the cartoon. When I started collecting and got my hands into what sorry excuse could Hasbro produce from Metal Head I was appalled. And so, I had to customize how Metal-Head should have been. I changed the torso for a Lanard torso that was the largest I could find, and resculpted the head and extended his feet. Desert Trooper; I thought the Green Shirts wouldn't be much good in a desert scenario, and so a Desert Trooper should exist. I tried to choose common pieces to make more afterwards, but never got around to do it. Maybe I should have gone with plainer colours without camo. I think in my Joeverse he will be rebranded as a unique character. Anyway, this was it;
