SB I would love to see that list of yours. I know you get real obscure sometimes and that’s a plus in my book. I always get excited when I see this thread pop up.

*Yeet! Thanks buddy! As always I really appreciate it!
*46 Zone she is pretty easy to make for your own, I made her a little extra special by adding the pinned up hair piece, the German Belt & Black waist for that leotard effect! *Thanks Itch, your always high on my list of super Tankers for your continued support! The "list" is organized chaos lol! When I see (or remember) something I can reasonably create with Marauders, I jot it down on that list if enough of the details can be replicated, some of it is really obscure or crazy stuff lol. Some stuff on that list will probably never get made I'm sure, and some stuff gets ordered the second I start putting it together in my head lol! New ideas come along all the time and I get excited about the potential build. We have 5 more to go until the 100th figure benchmark, & that will be before month's end! |

NEW RECRUITS!!!
#96 CLOCK OUT (W.A.S.P. infiltrate) (based on ARAH "Big Ben '02 aka ver. 4") W.A.S.P. Origin: England Season: 4 Big Ben was the bane of my brother's GI Joe collecting in the early 2000's, as he (like Mirage) was packaged with troop building Cobras & my brother had an army of Big Ben's/Mirages to go with his army of Cobras, lol! That being said, with some of the recent WWII stuff that's been added, I knew Big Ben was in there with the right combo of parts. Using the WWII American Soldier top and Camo Marine bottoms with a few add-ons I think makes for a great '02 Big Ben homage! CLOCK OUT is the soldier that never sleeps, he is also incredibly on point & sneers at those who can't keep a schedule. A former British Air Service commander he ran the tightest military fight ship and his crew was top notch. Now he is a British liaison for W.A.S.P., and is basically there to keep an eye on the motley crew of soldiers and make sure the mission stays on track while secretly reporting & gathering any intel back to the secret British alliance.

#97 MERLIN (based on Argren 7 "Sokerk ver 2")
Strong Arm Origin: Argentina Season: 4 When looking to use the new British Soldier body, recreating Sokerk was a major plus in making an Argen7 homage team. I went for an "Ultimate Version" inspired mostly by the Version 2 Ripcord repaint with a couple nods to the Version 1. I find like the new "Logan", & "Hank" heads, the "Hans" head fits most of the original headgear as some of the new heads are a bit too big. The rifle was a freebie and I love it as a loose nod to his original weapon. MERLIN is DR. DYNAMITE'S blood brother and is known as the "wizard of weapons" as he has extensive knowledge in military arms from the 1940's up to modern times. He is able to arm or disarm any weapon precisely with lightning speed and advise on weapon strategy against the enemies arms. He has a hair trigger but admirable courage.

#98 COMMANDER THRUSH (based on Argren 7 "Manleh")
Strong Arm Origin: Argentina Season: 4 Manleh has been on my radar since the chimera ops body dropped, but I went back & forth as to weather I wanted to use yellow or tan on his gear because both looked great, ultimately I wanted to homage the original "Stalker" recolor more than modernize him, and with yellow being in short supply among my homage recreations, I like to have more fun color in my MTF Universe! Another deciding factor was that I wanted to give him a Jet Pack & Marauder's has that in yellow... the perfect match! COMMANDER THRUSH started off as a skydiving instructor and Argentinian parachute trooper before taking leadership over the new reformed Strong Arm team. He is a known daredevil and literally "jumped" at the chance to engage both the MTF & W.A.S.P. in a new arms race mission. He, MERLIN, & CHASE have been testing the new Jet Pack technology that was sold to the Argentinian special forces through nefarious means out of the South Pacific. He has heard that the MTF'S SKYBUSTER has mastered the Jet Pack's use and is eager to top him with his own brand of aerial acrobatics in the future.

#99 ORPHAN (PHANTOM FORCE VERSION - based on ARAH "Hit & Run" Night Force/Phantom Stealth Tank Driver concept )
Marauder Task Force Origin: USA Season: 5 Hit & Run was one of my favorite Joes in the later ARAH years, more real world military and just an awesome & fun figure. I was hoping to add him to my MTF Universe & had a couple ideas as to how. The first one being this homage to his "Phantom Stealth Tank Driver" concept which was the inspiration for his Night Force version from the Club! He spent a long time on my MTF queue once I decided to make him. In the end he is put together using Contract Ops, Agency Ops, WWII & Task Force parts making him one of my most creative re-imaginings! ORPHAN'S code name comes from his youth spent in various orphanages. He had a hard upbringing and always strives to hit harder & run faster than the rest of his brood. He joined the military with the same mindset at 18 & after various special forces teams has found himself as part of VANGUARD'S "Phantom Force" a specially put together crew devised by him after his experience as a Night Operative in the Himalayas. VANGUARD needed a stealthy runner to be able to get in and get out after dark with minimal gear and & a lot of continuous motivation, ORPHAN was his man.

As we near the 100th figure in my Marauder Task Force Universe (WOW! Way back when I started this, even though I had that many ideas & more, I wasn't sure we would ever get here!) but you guys & the expanding MTF catalog help keep me motivated! I felt it was time to reflect a little & ask the faithful followers here a few questions that have me curious...
1. Have you ever recreated any of the figures in this thread based on my build? If so could you share a picture? 2. Do you actually read the bios or is that not important to you? 3. Do you want to see this thread continue or now that we are at 100 figures, should I start a new thread? 4. Which of the characters/builds are your favorites? Thanks to all of you the have visited & especially those of you who continue to visit this thread, it has been very enjoyable for me to share these recreations with all of you, and there is more to come!

#100 YAKU (NINJA COVERT OPS VERSION - based on VvV Agent Jinx '04)
Marauder Task Force Ninja Covert Ops Version/Version 2 Origin: Japan Season: 6 MILESTONE: My 100th figure and first entry into Season 6 of my MTF Universe! *All of my creations are 100% Marauder, figures, weapons, stickers, etc. With no added paint or kit bashing. I wanted to celebrate that I have now created 100 figures with a little more info on the background of how I devise my recreations. My first decision for who would be my 100th to make was the character, it came down to a list of about 5 all-time current favorite GI Joe characters & then I narrowed it down to just recreating either another version of Jinx of Falcon in the end, based on parts available etc. and after I saw that I could use the red skirt section from the WWII Red German Soldier as a homage to the 2004 Jinx, I decided on her. A lot of times I will do a rough thumbnail of what I am thinking for the build. Followed by a proto-build (if I have enough of the parts in any color handy lol) And since this was my 100th figure, I decided to celebrate by creating new artwork for my avatar that represented one of the characters I have now made, & went with this *100th* version of Yaku/Jinx! *****I hope you enjoyed the 1st 100 figures in "My Marauder Task Force Universe" thread! After YAKU'S successful mission in the Himalayas, she returned the "Akai Katana" to her ninja clan and went into further training in occult martial arts while in Japan. When she returned to the MTF, she is now stationed as a part of the team under SGT. SLATE on the traveling Mobile Command Center. She has become one of the main members as a master of infiltration on the team and has contributed to many successful missions, even if she feels the need to constantly prove herself. One of her favorite techniques is to use her headband as a blindfold to tease HOT SHOT that she can't see him advancing while in training which usually ends up with him landing on his head!
