Today's addition is ECH0 2.0, an upgrade of a character that debuted in our G.I. Joe: Redemption project, made by DanOfTheDead.

Nice ECHO build.

So, Super Trooper’s a comic book character in your take on the Joe mythos?

That was the idea I had. Possibly a comic book character BASED on an actual super soldier, mostly it was a nod to his Captain America similarities. Once I gave ECHO the shield, I thought he was looking like a robotic version Super Trooper, so I gave him that gun and tied it into his personality of copying and emulating those around him.

Fantastic idea! GI Joe robot troopers are vastly underutilized. Very clean build and paints as always and wonderful melding of different toylines. Also, very creative use of that pickaxe for a cannon.

LASHER is the first of some new Dreadnok recruits.

I was pretty happy with that, definitely one of the more useful Fortnite figures and harvesting tools for customizing.

MIC CHECK by bucky is more new blood for the Dreadnoks.

8-O "Safe Word" wouldn't have been a bad codename either... I had to double check with bucky that this one wasn't getting to "grown up" for Resurgence. I had initially started this build a long while ago for the Super Joe Cart project. She was going to be the Baroness in the style of Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! but I decided to save it for an original character.

Mic Check looks like they very embodiment of "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" by the Offspring.

Limp Bizkit has entered the building! I should have seen it coming, but the 'Noks have attracted a whole new brand of douchebag. May god have mercy on our souls.

Seriously, though, this dude is perfect. I wouldn't want to be stuck on a bus with him, but isn't that the whole point of Dreadnoks?

As for Safe Word (that's her name now, BTW), I can only bow before her exquisite dominance.

Keep 'em coming!

I like the direction of these new 'noks. Years ago I started an offshoot of the noks I called the The IronKlad and they were a new generation of punks.

The great work continues! With all the new figures/characters, I overlooked how great the recolor on Gung Ho is. Nicely done.

PISTOL-WHIP by DanOfTheDead rounds out the roster of the new Dreadnok recruits.

Indeed. I couldn't decide if it would be funnier if his music was awful or actually pretty catchy. :-D

He really does feel like a perfect late '90s or early '00s updated to the classic Dreadnok "punk rocker" motif. Bucky really managed to tell his whole story with just his design.

I think bucky and I both were trying to figure out designs the "counter-culture" component that the early punk rock and mad max style 'Noks had. It's a really fun group to design new characters for, for sure.

I like bucky's take on classic Joes. I think the brown makes a nice kind of call back to the '97 or '98 version that came with the Mauler.

Always awesome to hear everyone's feedback on these.

Was one of the inspirations for her the Marvel character Outlaw (Inez Temple)?

I like the design of Pistol Whip and the codename, but the hat doesn't fit well. Is it removable? It may be better to trim the hair and glue the hat on the head.
