I bought 3x Captain America Strikefire vehicles off of the 'bay and they should be showing up at some point next week.

I have a few unopened ones I was saving to customize at some point.

I got these used ones for spares and more options for customizing. So, what to do with them?

1) A vehicle for the Oktober Guard, since we never got any Oktober Guard ones until the Convention (and not everyone got them).

2) A battle damaged version using the most incomplete one.

3) MARS produced vehicle for the Iron Grenadiers.

4) DEF?

5) A newer Battle Force 2K command vehicle?

6) Olive Drab? Tan? Black with red accents?

Any suggestions? (that don't include chroming it or a Dreadnok version)






Also, I dislike the exposed motorcycle bay these have. Probably leaning towards covering it up and adding a hatch on the back end.

remind me - are your toy and custom verses 100% Joe based?

Pretty much.

My *universe* may have mutants, it may have people with extraordinary powers and abilities, it might have secret government agencies that protect us from threats we know nothing about, there might already be visitors from other planets living among us, and there might be secret organizations trying to gain global domination.

But, there is no Superman-yet. Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet. Peter Parker is a photographer for the Daily Bugle. Hector Ramirez is a reporter. There may be an agency with men in black protecting us from aliens from other planets. There might actually be robots in disguise hiding among us. People may have been born with some unique factor that allows them to do different things that others can't.

Basically I can use anything in fiction/TV/movies/video games as long as I can come up with a reasonable explanation of how it would fit. Medical experiments are ongoing. The Venomization experiments that Dr Mindbender worked on could be one way to explain Metahumans or Mutants.

Right now, no one is outed as a superhero. People exist prior to the events. Bruce Wayne is an orphan, now a billionaire while the Batman is a vigilante running around Gotham at night. Hal Jordan is a test pilot. Wade Wilson is a mercenary. Carol Danvers is in the military. There is a jewel thief/cat burglar prowling around Gotham. Sterling Archer tells everyone he is a secret agent. The Kingsman exist, MIB exists, things exist simply to flesh out the universe.

I'm not suddenly gonna have Superman taking on Cobra, Green Lantern working with Star Brigade, Aquaman helping the US Navy rescue the crew of a sunken submarine.

The JOEs might work with Steve Trevor and Diana Prince on a mission. Sam (Quantum Leap) Beckett might be a Scientist Cobra tried to kidnap. PMCs like Rios and Salem might cross paths with the JOEs. Heck, even one of the kids from the cartoon PSAs could have been an orphan who was adopted by the Robinson family.

Anything works with a proper explanation.

Do up one as a combat moon buggy for Star Brigade. Either grey, silver or white base color.

I have three of buggy wagons from a recent toy line for that. Can't recall the name, but there were a bunch of kids in spacesuits. I think there was a crane in the back too...


Edit: Miles from Tomorrowland. Remembered as soon as I hit submit...

I painted mine black and grey to travel with the RHINO as a support vehicle. One is a tank with a helicopter and the other is a tank with a motorcycle. Like peanut butter and jelly.

I'd turn it into something akin to the Aliens APC at a glance. Perhaps ditch the swivelling turret in the middle , sand down the bevelled protrusion underneath it and build/repair with styrene.

I have never seen any AN customs, so this is intriguing...

sounds... familiar...

But real world physics, totally open characters. That doesn't limit the use of the vehicles to Joes at all, which is what I would have expected.

I say make two of them SHIELD vehicles, and use them to bridge the gap between Marvel and the Joes.

Third one do something crazy with you'd have never expected to do, and have fun with it.

Finally got package last night, due to work schedule and limited post office hours.

One is missing a left side door, and all are missing the motorcycle.

Got home and realized I had two more MIB strikefires on another shelf, so now have five new/complete and three open/used.

More options now!
