Colton's weapons master for the team is Sergeant First Class Anthony "not Tony" Gambello, a well-educated science nerd with multiple patents in advanced weaponry using cold and hot lasers. Though the SFC prefers his gadgetry over conventional weapons, he is as lethal in close-quarters combat as he is on a howitzer. Because he is often found with his nose in the books and seldom offers any facial expression, Colton has assigned him the backhanded code name: Flash.
Flash is a favorite character of mine and not one I expect to see in new figure lines. So, I assembled my own. The mask, large laser rifle, and "cable" are from Flash's Rise of Cobra variation. The backpack is a repro of OG13 Flash. All else comes from MTF and I was impressed with the Arctic-Ops body as the components fit better, more secure with this compared to other bodies. The MTF head was a tight fit with the Hasbro mask but worth it. I dabbled with a few different headgear options (white ski cap w/goggles, white flight helmet w/silver glasses, white tactical helmet) but I like how the black gear looked and felt his helmet ought to match. Superglue keeps some of the pieces connected. I was really pleased to find the white chest piece to go over the Arctic Ops body. They had red, but the white keeps to the theme while giving a nod to the OG13 design. I had some fun with his story, too, because his OG13 face never lived up to the awesome filecard artwork. I'd add, too, that the builds we've seen from AWOL and CavScout definitely motivated me to get this trooper put together. Thanks, guys. Last edited by TheOverlordCorp; 01-29-2022 at 03:48 PM.. |
