(I'll be adding the EOD back story here soon.)

Team pic- Salvo, Mainframe, Robo-Joe and Dodger

Image

Mainframe: Team leader, and computer specialist. His tech knowledge, along with Dodger, keeps Robo-Joe up and running.

Image

Image

Dodger: Second in command. He's a tech expert and oversees the upkeep on both Robo-Joe and the communications vehicle.
He'll be the last man standing!

Image

Image

Image

Image


Image

Image

Dodger and Mainframe work on Robo-Joe

Image

Salvo: Heavy weapons expert and vehicle repairs.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Robo-Joe: The muscle of the team. When his body was damaged beyond hope, Mainframe and Dodger created a new armor to help keep him alive (think Iron-Man).
Constant upkeep is needed to keep the armor functioning properly.

Image

Image

Image

Modified Warthog: The communications vehicle.
This vehicle is one of many designed to bridge communications in blackout areas. And to locate possible survivors. It features external two way mics, cameras and radar, along with inferred devices.
The windows have been reinforced with 8 gauge hardware cloth to prevent zombies from entering and infecting the crew inside.

8-O Simply amazing!

Is that a SHS Colossus body used for Robo Joe?

AWESOME!!!! I love the Robo Joe. Totally dig the Star Wars head on Mainframe. I love the use of Dodger too. This whole set is great. Very consistent style on all of them. Very Nice.

Yay for zombie reference! :-D

On to the customs.

You know I'm a sucker for post-apocalypse soldiers. These are no exception. I especially love Robo-Joe. He has a very WH40K feel to him. I do think he needs a helmet of some sort.

Other than that, I don't have a single thing to critique. Very nice work here.

WOW ! I am in awe, you certainly out did yourself, yet again. I like them, especially Robo Joe, you took such a goofy looking character and gave him new life, just awesome work and imagination. Congrats on a job very well done.

Thanks, gents.
I lost the helmet for Robo-Joe :-( . I'll have to cast a new one and redo it.

Oh my god such awesome figures. I can't wait for the story! Hope that Dodger survives this as well.
I could feel Psyche-Out in this gang as well.

Dude...

Once again you have outdone yourself. Not only are those some of the best original customs i have seen in a loooooong time. But I love the whole premise of it. Can I come over and play?

Brilliant. I love Mainframe especially. He looks like a sort of of high-tech knight.

Really nice stuff.
