You might consider using RoC Zartan's head - the one that's supposed to be a disguise. That hat is much more like an Army issue "soft cover", which Repeater would have worn. He was a Ranger, not a Marine. The head itself, with a hair repaint, would work pretty well. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps.

I think the new TRU SRO 3 pack works well. I basically took the Grunt Head and switched it with the Sgt Stone head in that pack. So I think Repeater needs a new look, and that camo is great. I then renamed figure with the Sgt Stone head with the Red Beret on that Grunt body. Now I have my Airstrike (Combat Controller).
I'm using the Pit Trooper from the TRU invasion of the Pit as Grunt Now. I figure I will only be buying one of those packs. |

The new PIT Trooper from the TRU "Attack on the PIT" set would work pretty well for Repeater, if you want to update his look.

Gentlemen, I'd like to change the subject for just a minute - I'd like to talk about Tiger Force, and RoC Ripcord.
As many of you know, I'm planning on using PoC City Strike Beach-Head as Sabretooth - the long lost, prototype figure/character from Tiger Force. He exists as a rumor and fuzzy old photo from a Hasbro promo add in the 80's. There's a link to the picture here... PeterDB.net - Unproduced Tiger Force What I never noticed before is that originally, Rip Cord was supposed to be a member of Tiger Force. But that never happened. But I would like to offer this other instance of a Code name being reused in a Sub-Team: Airborne. So we have original Airborne, and we have Sky Patrol Airborne. Two different characters with the exact same name. Now, what if RoC Rip Cord is simply the Long Lost "Tiger Force" Rip Cord we never got? What if he's simply another character named Rip Cord? Isn't he about to be released in a Jungle Assault uniform? Isn't that what Tiger Force does? All I'm saying is that maybe there's a way that there are two Rip Cords... obviously the name "Wallace Weems" is still a problem, but if there's room for two Airborne Characters because one is in Sky Patrol, maybe there's room for two Rip Cords if one of them is in Tiger Force. By the way, Original Rip Cord appeared as a member of Tiger Force in Special Missions #25. So maybe I should try and get a Rip Cord from the 7 pack and have it repainted in Tiger Force Colors? Tiger Force could use another HALO expert to work with Crazy Legs. What do y'all think?

Hmmm...I wasn't aware that Rip Cord appeared in Tiger Force. I'll have to check out that issue again. Were his colors bright orange like Lifeline's or more subdued like Flint's or did he have the green and blue camo of Dusty and Recondo?

I'd forgotten that Ripcord was in the Tiger Force issue. I always figured he was "along for the ride". I thought I remember a tossed away line explaining why he was there.
I'm calling the jungle assault RoC Ripcord: Foxhole and making him a new character.

Well, check this link out. It's a really impressive page about Tiger Force and the history of Tiger Force.
PeterDB.net - Tiger Force This was very informative for me - Ripcord was always supposed to be a member. Check it out.

that's pretty Cool Oliver. I never paid much attention to Tiger Force as a standing unit on its own, but you almost could with all the members. That site sort of makes me want to get into them more, but really it makes me want a great Sabertooth and Wreckage.
