In the early 2000s, the Club made the Steel Brigade an international security and peacekeeping force for their Convention set. This idea stuck with me and over the years, I've added a few Steel Brigade customs to my ranks.

I started from this idea: ''The Steel Brigade is a paramilitary team that follows GI Joe into SWARM infested areas. The Steel Brigade is responsible for mopping up SWARM stragglers, securing and holding areas, law enforcement, crowd control and insuring relief efforts for the affected populations.'' I then set about creating team members that fit those roles.

Riot started off with the helmet. I was playing around with fodder to modify the base Steel Brigade helmet to get different looks. After I glued the Retaliation Joe trooper's gas mask to the helmet, I thought of making a crowd control specialist. I figured it would be a useful specialty in urban areas that had been destabilized by a SWARM invasion. Filecard thanks to Raptor and GITrekker.
