I don't have the Mega Marines in my Joeverse.
I thought about using the Delta-6 suits as a group of Anti-B.A.T. troopers, but my Cobras aren't going to have dozens of BATs and the Delta-6 suits were more sci-fi then I wanted to go with my Joe forces.

I feel the same way. I think the BATs would only exist in limited numbers. They would have to be massively expensive to build and maintain. I think it also says either on one of the filecards or maybe in the comics that they tend to explode and are as much a hazard on the battlefield to Cobra as they are to the Joes. They don't waste them as cannon fodder because they have Vipers and Blue Shirts for that. Instead, I bet they use them one at a time. Firefly would remotely activate one in the middle of a presidential motorcade or if a Cobra base was getting over run, CC would activate one to occupy the Joes and cover his escape. Stuff like that. For things like that, I could see the Joes backing off and just containing the thing until a special unit is brought in to destroy it. I'm might use Steel Brigade Delta, 3 regular Steel Brigade troopers, and the new Vamp for a BAT killer group. Of course if you follow Cartoon Cannon all you need is the Sarge! He wipes out BATs by the dozen.

I think you just change my mind about the BAT. Never saw a good use or had a care for on but I'm digging your idea!

Yeah, that's how I see the BATs being used. But, for me, the Joes don't call in a special unit, they just pour it on until the BAT is destroyed, or they use the enviroment to destroy it.
Brainstorm, from IDW, exists in my Joeverse, so between him and Trakker they've come up with some gear that helps the Joes with the BATs.

Took advatage of the TrU sale to get my first Renegades figures yesterday. Bought 2 of the Dukes. I will use one of them as Chuckles. Not much required to make this a great update for him- maybe paint the vest SWAT blue. And swap out the hands/ lower arms. Not a fan of the new wrist articulation. Otherwise I really love this sculpt. At first I thought the Rene stuff seemed small compared to PoC, but this one works well enough.
Chuckles, Mace & Faces will be members of the Intel unit attached to the Urban Ops branch of my Joe team. They're the undercover guys that infiltrate Extensive Enterprises, Dreadnoks, etc.. I may add to this using some of the martial arts guys as suggested earlier in this thread but I'm not sure about that. There is also the Response unit- Shockwave, Lockdown, Wide Scope, Law & Order, Mayday, Low Light, Barricade, Long Arm and Bullhorn. (I need to come up with a medic and commo guy too). The whole unit is led by Surefire and Bulletproof. |

i just added brainstorm to my joe roster as well. It's a custom figure. Not sure if he'll come with any actual weapons, but he'll be equipped with two robots, shock and awe. Shock is a small robotic tank, and awe is an even smaller six legged robot ideal for recon, and mine detection.

I have no pics of my franken-joed customs. All in storage. Debating whether I want to display Legos or Joes or somehow do both.
So is it only Joe vs. Cobra? Or are there other organizations involved? How does the Oktober Guard fit into your joeverse? For me, there are the "uber"terrorists: Cobra (CC, Major Bludd, Blueshirts) The Coil (Serpentor, Neo-Vipers) Red Shadows (need a figure for Wilder Vaughn aka Baron Ironblood, need a Black Major, RoC MARS Troopers) Dreadnoks (real biker gang/pirates) Iron Grenadiers (Destro, Baroness, IGs)

You're right Chief, but I've been too lazy to take pics.
Here's 1/2 my GIJoe General Staff: The Other Half: Some guys are missing since I have expanded or have been replaced from the photo. I've switched to the POC Hawk. (I just couldn't rename him.) In my Verse I use the Marvel Universe as well. So: O-10 Colton (CO) O-9 Austin (XO), Keel-Haul, Gen Patton(Clone), Sharpe(VvV Hawk) O-8 Nick Fury, Gen Flagg (Sr); Commissioner Gordon (O-8 equiv.); Gen Hollingsworth; O-9 Roughneck (Samuel L Jackson Fury), Iron-Man, Raider(Jungle Adventure team), Hawk, Gen Flagg III, Gen Rey, Ledger, Agent Ford, Agent Fred (Not Pictured), Payload I'm missing someone? I should have 20. Some Of My Red Shadows: (I haven't expanded much here) I too have been using Brainstorm in my Joeverse. I use the MU Havok figure since those abilities are beyond what I use in my Joeverse, so I rename a few of the MU characters to fill missing Joes.
