AF, really love your Motor Viper, gonna have to make that one myself too, friggin’ cool!
Backblast, I did own that dude myself around 1990 vintage, but don’t remember him much in the comics, love it, very cool decal on his chest perfect job, again, already said lovin’ the Black Widow custom etc but will say it again here, awesome stuff! ;) Oh forgot to say, do love the way you did the SB dude with your spare parts, works perfectly, all I’d say is the guy maybe needs some gloves! :P Loving the build and colors for him, funny enough never ever bought, owned, mailed away (as they never did that in the UK I think?) Steel Brigade, weirdly he is a favorite Joe of mine, so gotta do a Marauder SB myself and many many thanks for that helmet AF, appreciate it ;) Last edited by LEEE777; 03-28-2021 at 08:49 PM.. |

He was, although I was out of playing with them before he came out so like Lee I never had one. |

Cheers CapBritain!
AF, yeah, I don’t even remember Special Corps in the UK, only the ad’s for SB in the States in the 80’s/early 90’s? That’s a shame, would of probably got some back then had I known. I wonder was there variants like in the US with the Special Corps UK ones, anyone? Thanks man, deff wanna make a Motor Viper or two! Gotta start making some Cobra at some point, I do have a female Marauder Trooper, but that’s about it as yet lol. Wanna delve into Dreadnok’s later on as well too.... so much to do, so lil time ha ha! |

AFAIK Special Corps was only version D or E of the US ones. It was advertised in the pages of Marvel UK's Transformers comic - alongside the reprints of GI Joe comics - quite a lot.

Darn, you’d of thought I would of remembered that as I read a lot of Marvel UK’s around the time, Action Force (of course), Star Wars, Secret Wars and Spider-Man & Zoids, was never into Transformers much but my middle brother was deep into that, anyways great to know D and E made it this side of the Atlantic! |

Had to bump this thread.
It?s one of my favorites on Marauder-ized Joes.

Recently I have been working on customs for some of my other displays (done a few for my Mad Max display lately) so I have not been on the Tank commenting much recently. I only popped by today to see if there was any word on last nights geared up event on the Marauder website. In honour of the bump I will show a few Joe customs I made with the new bodies. Firstly is the obvious Viper. Viper is a figure I have shown on here before but wanted to change with the new body. The old Viper is being converted into a Viper Officer, I just need a few more parts but that figure will show up on here some time in the future. |

Next is a fairly obvious custom with the new bodies, the Cobra BAT.
I am looking at solutions to add the electronics to the chest (if I get it how I like I will repost the figure here), but at the moment this is what it looks like. I adapted the arm with a peg so I can swap and change the different arm attachments. |

And a new character for my Oktober Guard, a Desert/Afghan War trooper code named Zenit.
It did change from what I had in mind when I ordered the parts, but I do like how it turned out. I was going to use the 5 magazine pouch on the lower torso but changed it to the Russian WW2 accessories because I thought they went better with the weapon I gave him.
