I thought Outback was Australian in Action Force (he spends an entire story in the literal outback chasing the Dreadnoks in AFM!) but he was actually an American!
I thought Recondo was Aussie because of his slouch hat... |

The Classified versions will certainly be Aussie. Recondo AND Outback. Stoked we're getting Big Ben as well. International Heroes FTW!

Wow, been off this site waaaay to long. How is everyone? Good I hope.
I was tinkering with my Joe Team and started working on my Anti-Venom Task Force/Eco-Warriors and came up with this: Detachment Commander: Link Talbot [I have him as a Chief Warrant Officer] Operations Sergeant: Deep Six CBRN NCO: Flash Heavy Weapons: Mirage Arctic Warfare: Snow-Storm Jungle Warfare: Outback Flamethrower: Ice Cream Soldier Flamethrower: Blowtorch Firefighter: Barbecue CBRN Specialist: Airtight Flamethrower: Charbroil CBRN Specialist: Ozone CBRN Specialist: Clean-Sweep Flamethrower/Firefighter: Blast-Off Firefighter: Inferno Hospital Corpsman: Ice Storm [Do you guys use them as different characters? since each version has different names] I know, it's just Eco-Warriors combined with Mega Marines, but it is how I think of my teams. I just take characters from whatever team I'm working on and add who I think would help round out the team. Appreciate any feedback Last edited by Darkhawk75; 08-19-2022 at 03:17 PM.. |

Hey DARKHAWK. Been a minute. Man its tough with these guys. They are somewhat forgettable or at least ill fitting. Seems like it would be a waste of characters like Outback or Ice Storm to be associated with the CBR guys. I lobbed them together with the laser and flamethrower guys under my SPECIAL Weapons Engineers team/Platoon. But this is really my catch all unit under Psyche-Out, but I needed an officer. Still their mission being captured large ordinance disposal, reverse engineering, weapons testing.
Engineers Team: Psyche-Out (O-4) Psychological Research Carla Greer (O-3) Medical Research Sparks (O-3) Glenda (WO-2) SGM Richard "Brawn" Cecil (E-9) Mercer V2 Doubleblast (E-8) Hot-Seat (E-7) Mainframe (E-7) Armadillo (E-7) Grand-Slam (E-7) Blowtorch (E-6) Flash (E-6) T.N.T. (E-6) Effects (E-6) Mirage (E-6) Ozone (E-6) Sci-Fi (E-5) Barbecue (E-5) Stretcher (E-5) Charbroil (E-5) Clean Sweep (E-5) Sgt. Ragan (E-5) (Ice Cream Soldier) Red Spot (E-4) Fast Draw (E-4) Inferno (E-4) Hi-Tech (E-4) Bombardier (E-4) Cannonball (E-4)

Good point. Outback was the reason I started working on this team. I usually place him in Night Force, but kept thinking of placing him in Tiger Force as it was that team I was working on. But then remembered he was going to be in eco-warriors and did what I did. Just to see how it would work.
Ice Storm again I’m debating to use him as 2 different characters or just one. Like this could be one and V2 could be with Arctic Ops or something. |

Outback was supposed to be part of Ecowarriors? I know the conversation set vs Zombies he's there. Never really liked it though. Do you have guys on multiple teams?

Yea, at least from what yojoe says the Battle Corps versions we’re supposed to be apart of the Eco-Warriors. If u look under sub-teams and go to eco-warriors that where I saw that.
I try not to use characters in multiple teams. I normally have him with Tiger Force, but like I said when I saw the eco-warriors thing I wanted to see how it would look. I kinda liked it as it makes that team more versatile as with Outback and snow-storm on the team as well as deep six it’s like there’s specialist for multiple environments. |

yeah, apparently that's why BC Outback has that lumberjack vibe to his outfit.

Both Outback v3 and Snow Storm v1 were originally intended to be part of Eco Warriors. But when that subgroup was canceled in 1993, the figures were reclassified to Battle Corps instead.

For the other Ice Storm since he comes with a medical kit I use him as a Navy Hospital Corpsman. If I recall any rating in the Navy can be trained in VBSS (which is listed on his file card). |
