For the S**ts & Giggles:
G.I.Joe - At the Beach!
I was playing
LEGO Star Wars
, when I had the idea of making Cobra versions of
Imperial Beachtroopers
. A
Cobra Beach-Viper
basically looks like a guy with a Viper helmet and a speedo. A
Cobra Beachbunny
look like lady with the "Night Stalkers" helmet and a two-piece bikini. An
Elite French Beachbunny
like like a standard Beachbunny, but are topless. All beach troopers hide a large pistol or SMG somewhere on their person (best not to think about where they hind it).
I also had an idea for a silly role-playing game on this theme (see below).
[Filecard]
Cobra Beach-Viper
Cobra Surfer
Primary Military Occupational Specialty:
Beach Recon
Secondary Military Occupational Specialty:
Lifeguard
Qualified expert:
All NATO and Warsaw pact small arms, and flotation devices.
Licensed to operate:
All Cobra and civilian motorboats and personal watercraft.
Beach-Vipers patrol the coasts of Cobra Island. They are trained in surfing, barbecues, beachcombing, first-aid, and sunbathing. They are chosen from the male ranks of Cobra, based on appearance, athletic ability, and "package", and they are personally handpicked by Cobra Commander. When Cobra promoted itself with a men's swimsuit calender - with buff Beach-Vipers on each page - recruitment roused by 145%, and over 300% in liberal San Fransisco!
"Cobra Commander really enjoys his army of Beach-Vipers! Maybe a little too... never mind... Well it did significantly increased recruitment! Its a shame these guys don't enjoy the French Beachbunny Volleyball games as much as we do! Then again, they seem to enjoy their own games, if you know what I mean?"

Beachbunnies maintain order in the coasts of Cobra Island. They are trained in surfing, barbecues, beachcombing, first-aid, and sunbathing. They are chosen from the female ranks of Cobra, based on appearance, athletic ability, and "bounciness", and they are handpicked by committee of judges - this is a highly coveted position! In spite of the nasty things they have to go through to get chosen, the benefits includes free cosmetic surgery, and a plush cover identity (fashion model, actress, gold-digger). Cobra promotes itself with regular Beachbunny pin-ups. This tactic is vary effective in recruiting young, eager men.
"Destro has held a seat at the judges' committee since the beginning. His 'casting couch' is the stuff of legend! It is that casting couch that makes the position so coveted! Men would kill for it! But damn, is it worth it!"

The Elite French Beachbunnies are made up of the most beautiful and sexy Beachbunnies! Their Volleyball games are said to be one of the best motivational events in Cobra. Every year, they form into two teams:
Team Baroness
- with black masks & bottoms; and
Team Zarana
- with pink masks & bottoms. Loosing means a humiliating defeat; the winners get to do the humiliating! Their large bare breasts double as a flotation device.
"Every year, Zarana and her team goes up against the Baroness! And Every year, Zarana gets her ass whipped by the Baroness - and literally so! I'm beginning to think Zarana is losing on purpose. But I'm not complaining - its quit a show!"
[/Filecard]
For the Role-players out there, I know of a silly tongue-in-cheek beach-themed RPG called
Babewatch
. Playing G.I.Joe this way would mean taking the silliness of the cartoon (like armies of Blue and Green Shirts who can hit for s**t, even in mass), and mixing it with the Baywatch parody (like slow-motion running, with bouncy chests). The players could play as members of an elite team of coastal defenders (or a unit of the
Coast Guards
who actually get things done).

hello everyone, just joined the group.
right now in my diorama at home, destro has found a way to enhance the weather dominator with MASS elements...
this was mainly to use both the weather dominator and MASS elements/roll cart from the dvd packs together.
basically, destro uses the MASS elements to send freak weather inside buildings, or to target a specific person's immediate area... think, tornado erupting from the oval office.

Hello Steve. You have been the first activity on the group since about a year. I don't know about the others, but I have been busy with other interests - mostly with my RPG.
CC in the cartoons would make really powerful devices, but he usually waste them on wild schemes to hold the world hostage. In the hands of a terrorist, the MASS device could be used to set bombs in well-defended government and military facilities, or make casual withdraws from Fort Knox. With Sythoids, they could not just replace the top brass, but even major business & political leaders, which would also drastically change the whole paradigm of the show. The science-fantasy nature of the cartoon make the technology malleable - even the requirements needed to power the MASS device could be overcome by just the conveyance of the plot. I try not to be too critical of the cartoon because of it's nature - as I like the zany plots - but I often found myself thinking about sensible uses for such super-technology.

hey guys, i'm kinda new to the tank and am going through the groups now.
doesn't seem like many people actually care about the groups, or discuss much through them, but i'm casting out a bunch of hooks and seeing if I get any bites.
I've always thought that the independence of Destro & MARS from Cobra was a very cool element, and then when they expanded upon that notion with the Iron Grenadiers, I (like alot of fans) was completely stoked.
Here we had the chance to have some truly epic and awesome storylines, because I THOUGHT the IGs would be a THIRD army, in addition to Joe and Cobra. Alas no, that's not how it worked out. And so of course, I have that in my Joeverse.
So as go through the lists, I find that Destro and the IGs are severely understocked compared to Cobra and the Joes.
Destro has no base/hq playset, like the CCHQ, Flagg or Terrordrome, so I made one up called the DeSOLATOR. I also created the Iron Bombardiers and IB Officers to operate them.

Heh, if people are actually paying attention to this group, maybe I'll share... maybe not.

I have not been around the Tank as much, as the Mods have been acting really petty and childish. I have better things to do, and places to be, then to deal with their BS.
I'm also a fan of the more autonomous MARS and Iron Grenadier orgs. Making them and offshoot of Cobra feels like a real waste. Like making Firefly, Major Bludd or the Dreadnoks full-fledged members of Cobra. When it comes to "the bad guys", I generally hate monolithic organizations, as differing groups makes thing feel more diverse, and it adds more mystery, when you dont know who is committing the criminal acts. I'm also glade that they are adding Red Shadows to the RAH canon, as they are a neat, and long overlooked group, that has long been missing from the usual battles of Joes vs Cobra.
I'm quite interested in your DeSOLATOR and Iron Bombardiers. Hell, I'm quite interested in any alternatives to Cobra this, or Cobra that.
