 Post subject: Armored Slodier, Lightning

Ok here is a quick bio for this guy:

While on a solo mission to rescue his kidnapped wife from a Cobra instillation, a police officer (intentionally leaving name out) stumbled upon a recovered prototype suit develoved by Cobra Scientists using stolen alien technology. Forced to wear the suit for protection against Cobra soldiers, he realized that his strength, speed, endurance was multiplied 10 fold. The armor also offered almost limitless protection from most weapons. He succeeded his saving his wife and was recruited as a secret weapon for Gi Joe.

The suit however was deemed a failure by Cobra Commander as the alien tehnology drained it`s wearers life force within 10 minutes of use. For some unknown reason, this side effect doesn`t seem to bother Lightning. Unfortunantly, the suit's tech wasn`t the only thing recovered from the aliens. New Battle Android Troopers have also been created which are nearly indestructable.

The pics don`t do this figure justice i`m afraid. Anyways, he was created using a veriety of SW and Joe parts. Managing to get them all to fit together was very tricky and time consuming. Regardless, i`m happy with the results and will be using the new Assassin Droids as the new BATS. By the way, the area where the upper torso meets the lower is intentionally larger as this is the breast plate meeting the lower armor.

Very nice figure the blending of parts and color really make it look like a factory piece. I'm going to have to copy it for myself.

I like this guy as well except for the Slodier name. :-P Sorry couldn't resist.

May I ask for a recipe since I'm not good at identifying parts other than the clone trooper? I think I may copy this but use a reg Storm Trooper. :) That or you could do a reg Storm Trooper version as a partner for him. ;)

I like it a lot, but the helmet is throwing me. It's just TOO distinctive to be anything but a Clonetrooper.

Swap the head and it'd be PERFECT. But as is it's pretty darn cool!

Isn't it meant to be a clone trooper?

I mean, alien tech?

LOL.

What is that shield?
