Re: Agent Delta

As you requested of me I have compiled a list of non-aligned intelligence operatives that I believe can be of use to us in our mission. At the top of this list is a man known only as Agent Delta. You might not recognize the name but you know his work. He has been my source for information on Cobra holdings and personnel, of which we’ve made great use in theses past weeks. I know he won’t join up officially but he has been receptive to an exclusive arrangement especially given the current state of the world.

Unfortunately I don’t have much information on his background. In the “black-ops” community this isn’t unusual. Files and records of such operatives are either classified, redacted or falsified to protect their identities. But with Agent Delta there are no known records outside of mentions in field reports from operatives such as myself. What I’ve been able to gather from the spotty information available is that he is highly trained in infiltration, intelligence gathering, combat and sabotage. Honestly if I didn’t know better I’d say he was actually our mute ninja Snake-eyes operating under a different name. I know you are weary of using untested operatives but I can assure you General, Agent Delta is 100% loyal and I’ve put my life in his hands on a dozen different occasions.

Agent Delta’s last known location was somewhere in southeast Asia which puts him in position to investigate what our Chinese friends are up to. If you were so inclined to have someone look into it that is.

News Broadcast
“With the world still reeling from the effects of the Extinction Asteroid, China has made a surprising and shocking move. The Chinese government has announced that it is sealing its borders completely. All Chinese diplomats are being recalled home immediately even as all foreigners are being ejected from the country. Anyone not of Chinese citizenship has 48 hours to leave the country or face prosecution and imprisonment. Few details of the effects of the Extinction Event on China have been released in the weeks since the sky fell but unconfirmed reports indicate that China has suffered little to no damage directly related to asteroid’s fallout. Reporters who have tried…”

Assignment Log…
To: Agent Delta
From: General Hawk
Mission: Red Dawn

Since China sealed their borders I’ve been receiving disturbing reports regarding some unusual yet familiar goings-on there. Satellite imagery shows increased activity at one of their decommissioned military manufacturing facilities in the remote Xinjiang province near the Mongolian border. I need you to shine some light on the situation.

INCOMING ENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION…

DECRYPTION KEY ACCEPTED…

BEGIN PLAYBACK…

General, the reports you’ve heard are accurate. I’m including a data packet in this transmission which includes detailed images and scans of the area. In summary Overkill has been reactivated and is experimenting with and constructing Battle Android Troopers. In the month that I’ve been here I have seen enough ram materials delivered to construct quite a small army of robots. However none have been shipped out, covertly or otherwise. I have seen no signs of life aside from the delivery drivers. I will continue gathering information until recalled.

END PLAYBACK

Intelligence De-Brief
From: Hi-Tech
To: General Hawk
Subject: Overkill

I’ve analyzed all of the intel you sent me regarding the B.A.T. factory in China and can confirm that Overkill is indeed back online. From the video and images in the report it appears that he has upgraded his body yet again. As you know, Overkill was a tech working with Mindbender and Destro developing the Battle Android Troopers. He was nearly killed when one of the B.A.T.s went crazy (as they are known to do) and torched the lab. Mindbender being the twisted bastard he is took the barely living Overkill and integrated his head and spinal column into a prototype B.A.T. body. While the integration was successful it drove Overkill insane. But he was able to better control the B.A.T.s in the field and we know Cobra Commander doesn’t particularly care about a soldiers mental state so long as they get results. And Overkill got results. He continued to upgrade his systems with more advanced technology and tried to take control of Cobra. This coup was defeated by Cobra Commander when he had Mindbender activate a hidden program embedded in Overkill. This program made him more compliant and loyal while keeping his more rebellious nature in check. Its unknown if that programming is still active or not as Overkill hadn’t been seen in years until now. It seems he’s finally taken his name to heart as his current body is definitely over the top. It doesn’t appear this version has any integrated weaponry but from the sheer size and looks of the armor you can bet he’ll be hard to put down, armed or not. It also looks like he’s salvaged his previous bodies and turned them into standard B.A.T.s but without getting my hands on them I can’t be certain what their functions are. Any additional information you can get would greatly benefit a threat assessment report.

Overkill v.3
Head: Tri-Gate Creations
Body: SW Dark Trooper BAF

Overkill v.2
Head: Asphalt custom
Body: Resolute B.A.T.

Overkill v.1
Head, torso: Asphalt custom
Arms, legs: O-ring B.A.T.s

Overkill is modeled after his Sigma 6 cartoon appearances which were basically a bash of the VvV figure design and anime giant robots. The head from Tri-Gate just worked too perfectly for Overkill and it can be put on either of the other two bodies as well.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned how much I enjoy your write ups on these, but I do.

And Overkill is great. I love the idea of spare platforms for him, too.

Did AD show up as a Devil's Due character? Looks good.

And Overkill is inspired.

Overkill is sweet. The head looks great on that body. Totally a Sigma Six feel to him. I doubt you'd want to paint it, but if you did some gunmetal silver would go a long way of making him match the bats better.
