Title: Steel Brigade Troopers
Post by: Oreobuilder on October 06, 2011, 10:32:56 PM
Good evening all,

With TRU's recent buy one get one for 1$ sale, I managed to pick up quite a few PoC wave 5 Steel Brigade Troopers. It's probably my favorite figure from wave 5. In keeping with the idea that Steel Brigade can have any specialty, the figure comes with a buttload of gear to outfit him as we want. I wanted to push that idea a bit further and started outfitting SB with different accessories. This is what I came up with. It isn't anything revolutionary. In fact, these can be considered borderline LBCs, but I like them.

In my Joeverse, Steel Brigade is an international security force. Once the Joes have kicked Cobra out of a country or region, Steel Brigade comes in to mop up enemy troops, provide security for the area, provide humanitarian aid and insure a peaceful transition back to a stable government. Their missions can last a few days to a few years. They're similar to UN Peacekeepers but with a broader mandate and more firepower. They work with GI Joe rather than for GI Joe.

From left to right:
EOD Trooper
Red Zone - Steel Brigade Security
Flamethrower
Commander
Airborne Assault Trooper
Crowd Control Trooper
SAW Trooper

Feel free to let me know what you think.

OB
