Always trying to be on the cutting edge, Hi-Tech is looking towards the future of warfare, and with nano-mites easy weapon deployment is just a switch away. With the nano-mites stored in the small deployment canister, you can use the helmet to deploy them in any formation (within spatial reason, of course). And members of the Joe team can be covered in armor that repairs itself, and can be used in a destructive manner against all sorts of armored and non-armored targets.

I felt like a lot of new characters got the shaft in the New-Sculpt or 2nd Gen era. I decided to use the following parts to bring Hi-Tech into the 3rd Gen.

Head: Conrad "Duke" Hauser (v43)
Body: Beachhead (v15)
Chest armor and Gauntlets: Mercenary Wraith (v1B)
Helmet, Hose, and Canister: Zombie Viper

Also, I somehow completely missed the gap in the thigh. :fisty:

Damn - the combo of the clear Wraith armor and the Zombie helmet is pretty sweet.

Guess I'm ripping open my variant Wraith now instead of scalping that [LASER BLAST].

Thanks a LOT, Killy :rant:

Awesome idea. Would be worth seeing the figure customized a bit further.

Yeah the lower legs aren't high tech enough, pun intended. But I can't think of a better replacement.

I get that, and to be frank, I wasn't wild about the legs either. That said, the original figure is wearing boots and pants, so I figured why not?

it's very Sigma Six... with some neon green trim painted on the sculpted armor and some 30th Ripcord goggles (for when he's not wearing the helmet), this would be an awesome 3 3/4" version of that.

I love this. Great vision. Only thing I would do is change the head. Poc jungle duke (for headband) or resolute arctic duke (head mic).

Thanks! I would have totally used that Arctic Resolute Duke head if I had one.

No mullet, no dice. Otherwise pretty rad.

Very cool concept! Almost like a Joe version "Lantern" :)
