Ever since I was a kid and I saw THE TRAITOR where Lt. Claymore, top of the "blueshirt" food chain, made his first appearance I liked the potential the character showed. Yeah, he definitely was a great new entry into the Cobra legions. And I always wished Hasbro would have immortalized him (and numerous other Sunbow creations) in plastic but they didn't... and Master Collector f--ked it up royally, that was a truly ridiculous failure.

In my Joeverse, Lt. Claymore did indeed start out as blue infantry grunt who rose above them all and distinguished himself and impressed Cobra Commander enough be a trusted solo field agent.

filename: Wiseman, Saul

Another top notch figure. The only thing that feels off to me is the neon Cobra sigil. Something in silver, gray, or red may have worked better.

I agree with sgcaper, great figure but I would go with a black or red emblem on his chest.

Agreed. And Duke works quite well with the race change.

NIIIIICE!

I love the character but HATE what Master Collector did with it. THIS is the real Lt. Claymore!

Expect me to steal this soon :)

Ditto, other than that sweet figure.

If you give him a moustache it will be a great Manleh custom...

wow, y'all, the custom went over really well, this is awesome! Thanks, folks.

Viperlord, buddy, please steal away. I'm looking much forward to seeing the results!

I see the controversy with the sigil color too, yeah, I'd say it doesn't stand out quite so much on the actual figure. I actually wanted it to stand out against the camo blue shades and it does but maybe too much. I think I'll replace it and see what happens, maybe post a new picture.

That's actually one of the shotguns Major Barrage came with. I just chopped the stock off as an experiment and it worked perfectly for it.
