Post subject:	DarkJedi's list of Hero Machine done/to-do
OK, I'm making a list (no full filecard bios) of the characters I've created. These will be posted by Faction. I am including my thoughts as to use for them, so you get an idea of where I going with them. First up is Cobra Legend: Completed Hero Machine, posted on Joecustoms and Facebook * Temporary Placeholder Name for now No asterick = no Hero Machine version as of yet, in the works Audit-Viper Subversion (Extensive Enterprise CPAs) This was my mail-in Create-A-Cobra. They are not Crimson Guard, but the majority of personnel working at Extensive Enterprises and other key locations. Careful, those Mall Tax Help kiosks CPAs could be Cobra Agents! BASE-Viper Airborne Insertion (Bridge, Antenna, Structure, Earth) Specialized Paratroopers, these troops might be used to exfil someone they've kidnapped from a skyscraper down to waiting vehicles in the street. They could also rob casinos and jump from the roof to escape. Blisters Flamethrowers NCOs Incinerator Recruits Boomslang* Ninja Braco the Clown* Subversion (Psychology) Bushmaster Jungle Trainer Wanted to use more snake names for actual Cobra Agents Caiman* Reptile Handler Canebrake* Ninja-Viper Instructor Cell-Vipers* Security Troops Choral Snakes* Choral Member/Springfield Marching Band Cinders Flamethrower Junior Officers Incinerator Training Staff Commodore Kracken* Cobra Island Naval Strategic Commander Coral Snakes Naval Special Commandos Equivalent to US Navy SEALS/USCG Boarding Parties. They would be used for any amphibious assaults like capturing oil tankers, cargo ships, cruise ships, oil platforms, etc. Demo-Vipers* Demolitions (Firefly's personal squad) Diamondback* Tactical Strategist/Military Advisor Dr. Vemonova* Research Scientist (aka 'Madame Furie') Embers Flamethrower Officers Incinerator Training Command Officers. You start out as a Cobra Trooper, then become a Cobra Viper for 6 months, before moving over to the specialty Vipers. Eroto-Vipers** Subversion (Extortion, Agent Recruitment, Blackmail) Placeholder name, these troops would be used to turn their targets or extort from them by compromising the. More of a 'soft core' manipulation, like running adult websites and other venues to raise capitol for Cobra. A target could be compromised by searching our certain websites and then be affected by ransomware attacks, etc. It's more as a means for Cobra to raise funds. Not trying to be dirty, but using someone's poor judgement against them... Fer-de-Lance Assassin Again, trying to add more snake names to Cobra. Garter Snakes* Subversion (The) Hood Enemy Agent (Middle Eastern Operative) Given the international make-up of Cobra, I felt there was a need for a region specific Cobra Agent. Inferno** Flamethrower Commander Created before GIJOE Extreme was a thing, so that's dating it a bit. He runs the Incinerator side of the Cobra Troops. Kill Zone Heavy Weapons Training Officer As with Inferno, he works with the SAW-Vipers. Krait Snake Handler I actually have a design done, but not posted. In the Marvel run there were Cobra Troopers holding snakes for certain ceremonies at various Cobra venues. Someone has to handle them and he is certainly not a person to upset, as you might find a forked tongue visitor in your bunk... (The) Kunoichi Ninjas (Female) Female ninjas made up of disillusioned Arashikage, and other Clan members. They have banded together for strength. Lady Addera Assassin Haven't really worked much on this besides the name. Wanted to use 'adder' as an Agent name. LIFT-Vipers Movers (Loader, Infantry, Freight, Transport) Inspired by every comic panel that had Cobra Troops moving bodies for Dr. Mindbender, etc. They have exosuits (using Mirage lower legs and Astro-Viper torsos) to assist them moving heavy items. Mussurana* Adjutant to Cobra Commander Ninja Bob* Ninja-Viper Trainer/Recruiter PIT-Vipers Para Insertion Troops I wanted to reuse that stupid new sculpt figure idea Hasbro had. If you gonna use the word 'Pit', then make it stand for something. These were created prior to the introduction of the Para-Vipers. Rave-Vipers Cold Slither Roadies/Security & Support Staff I posted a long time ago the description of the Rave-Vipers. Essentially anyone assigned to be a Rave-Viper is another specialty Viper, but renamed due to the assignement. There are Techno-Viper, Tele-Vipers, etc and they use their skills to run the backside of the Cold Slither concerts. They were the same uniform, but inspired by Star Trek, have different colored t-shirts or clothing to show what each does, They are under strict orders to keep all mention of Cobra completely separate from the concerts as Cold Slither is a huge legitimate money making scheme. I basically wanted to make Cold Slither as real as can be and the JOEs might only be aware of them as a band, with no suspected ties to Cobra. It's an attempt to be as legit as possible, with sales from merch and touring. Reptilicus* Project Serpentor Phase Two Rhingal Project Serpentor Fail-Safe A female version of Serpentor, in theory. It is a means by Cobra Commander to prevent Serpentor, if ever activate agan in secret by COIL members to subvert him. It's an attempt to take down someone with their even match. Riot-Vipers Subversion (Urban Chaos) Specialized Alley-Vipers. Their mission is to disrupt by any means possible the infrastructure of any city Cobra decides to take over. They hit the communications, power grids, hospitals, transportation hubs, police, etc, allowing occupation troops easier access. Each trooper is the number one target by the JOEs as they are capable to creating mass casualty incidents, civilian property, and so on. Roto-Vipers Helicopter Pilots These are Cobra pilots that are not the flashy FANG Pilots or Mamba pilots. They fly the Skycranes and VIP transport pods for Cobra and fulfill the civilian-type flights for VIPS and undercover agents. Sabot-Viper* (based on unproduced artwork) Sea Serpents Naval Officer (Cobra Vehicle Crew) These are the basic Cobra Navy Officers that operate Cobra ships, like subs or bigger Navy vehicles. Sea Snakes Naval Crew (Cobra Vehicle Crew) The Navy sailors of Cobra. Shag-Vipers** Subversion (Blackmail, Extortion) Again, kinda Austin Powers-esque, but needed a name for the troops that do use sex as a means to compromise their targets. Businesswomen, Political Leaders, Governors, etc. Someone has to do it and this is an attempt to show how Cobra has infested itself into the population. They are all run by a division under Extensive Enterprises. It's not pretty and I freely admit that. These are propably a one and done use, story-wise, and are only needed for specific missions. Skid Row Urban Assault Commander Head of the Alley-Vipers. Snakebytes Computer Specialists These troops are a way to reuse the Sonic Psyche-Out figure for something besides Psyche-Out. I am not a fan of 15 variations of one character when they each have iconic versions. Like Ace. He's either in his pressure suit flying, or he's wearing a green flightsuit and brown leather bomber jacket sitting around playing cards. I use v1 Psyche-Out for him, unless he has on a winter jacket like they did during the BET theft in the animated movie. The Snakebytes are used similar to the Star-Vipers, in that they have shunt interfaces surgically implated to allow them to 'Borg Assimilate' into their computers or vehicles. Snapdragon* Ninja Assassin Striptease* Subversion (Entertainment) Taipan* Ninja (unnamed) Cobra Courier* Cobra-La Sentry* Cobra LMD Cobra Pilot* Cobra Snake Armor Operator* Cobra Strategist* Cobra Tailor Cobra Commander's Personal Tailor former professional ice skating costumer Crimson Guard (F)* (joke creations-these would have been something along the lines of creating the perfect Manchurian Candidate/Stepford Wives family, loyal to Cobra, for Cobra Commander's end game scenario. Imagine having a major political candidate running for the White House, the introduction of the perfect family. Every T crossed and every I dotted, no hint of scandal, the perfect Sleeper Agent. They get elected and suddenly turn 180, revealing their nasty side. The pinnacle of the Crimson Guard as introduced in the Marvel GIJOE run) Serpenta, made up of the DNA of famous wives Serpentina, made up of the DNA of famous daughters

Legend: Completed Hero Machine, posted on Joecustoms and Facebook * Temporary Placeholder Name for now No asterick = no Hero Machine version as of yet, in the works Oktober Guard Apakoh* Weapons Specialist Dragonsky's Nephew Arkady Sapper The explosives expert. Cold and intense. Beluga* Naval Infantry A long distance runner and water polo athlete that trained at the Dynamo Sports Club in Moscow Borzoi VDV (Airborne Assault Trooper) Needed a few Paratroopers. CCCPatriot* TV Show character the Oktober Guard might have watched. Inspired by DC's KGBeast and the MKVDemon... Cold Snap Wilderness Trooper With all the tales of the bleakness of Siberia, needed a cold weather ops guy. Cossack Motor Rifle Troop (Vehicle Driver) Felt the codename needed to be used, but instead of being a horse rider, he operates whatever vehicle they need during a mission. Familiar with BMPs, BTRs, UAZs, Urals, etc. Dasher SOBR/OSMN Commando SOBR: Spetsialny Ostryad Bystrogo Reagirovaniya (Special Rapid Response Detachment Police) OSMN: Otrjad Milizii Spetsialnogo Naznachenija (Police team-special) Dead-Lift* Heavy Weapons Specialist Trained as Olympic Weight Lifter. Plan to do this one again, but in combat togs. Delfin* Combat Swimmer Conducts oepratiosn similar to Navy SEALs. Experimental Spycraft Pilot based on the Russian airframe that was the Macguffin in Marvel 6 & 7. Hardline Field Commander Unhappy with the detente that developed with working with the JOE Team, at some point Hardline was brough in to replace Red Star as the field leader of the Oktober Guard. Tough, no nonsense warhorse, worries about interactions with the JOEs, but understands Cobra is the threat. Harvest* GRU Intelligence Officer Efficient and dedicated HINDsight VDV (Airborne Assault Division-Helicopter) Not specifically a Door Gunner, but Iron Wall* Alpha/Beta Group Commando Son of an East German Mother and Russian Father. Berlin Wall + Iron Curtain = Iron Wall Kamenka Central Committee Oversight Because every comic book Russian team has an oversight member. Krazy Ivan* Special Operations/(Prisoner) I watched the Dirty Dozen awhile back and got interested in the use of military prisoners as special units. There was a video on Russian Special Forces I saw that had all these soldiers performing incredible gymnastic leaps and flips while throwing their combat spade into wooden targets. Did some digging and started seeing a lot of pics of Russian Soldiers with combat spades, so I decided to center a character around that. I was stuck on a name until I remembered a 90s magazine ad for a video game called, "Krazy Ivan'. That was it. Then it was makng a background that made sense. A badass Special Ops trooper comes home to find his wife in bed with the Political Officer. He snapped and attacked both of them with his spade. When the guards showed up, he was calmly sitting on the front porch sharpening the spade. He was found guilty of the killings, as since the Political Officer was the son of a prominent Party Official, it was a serious crime. Was to be executed, but was only imprisoned due to his unique skills. He is only let out for difficult missions, but still manages to come back safely. Everyone fears him, but he has accepted his fate and would not challenge anyone. Krokodil HIND Pilot WIP, nothing but brief bio. Kurgan* Recon Very silent and deadly, like a wraith Lt. Maks w/Gulag MVD Border Patrol Wanted a dog handler on the team and it made sense to look at the various agencies and have someone from each one. Lt. Maks is the MVD member. Major Jin Hyeon-Ju* North Korean People's Army Special Operation Force Have gotten some movies from Big Lots on Black Friday and there were a few Korean type military ones. With recent events, why wouldn't there be a North Korean Liaison to protect North Korea's interests. Major Ursa Cosmonaut There was no way I was gonna pass on using Ursa Major in some form. I have a Star Wars 'Snowbunny' Padme head in mind for her, if I can find another Flash Spacesuit figure. Matryoska* She is over six feet tall and 200 pounds, and comes from hardy stock. Her older brothers are all over 6'4. Raised on the family farm, she never got pushed around by the livestock. By contrast she is sweet and confidant and gentle. She isn't clumsy, but sometimes ends up as a bull in a china shop (if the bull was a big teddy bear). One would more likely to be injured by her by a hug than a punch. Oktober Guardian Commando An unknown soldier, highly trained in assault, infiltration, and weapons. Red Wing Aircraft Pilot Turned down a NHL contract to fly jets. Rooskie Infantryman The equivalent to the JOE's Grunt. Rynda* Elite Pursuit Squadron/Executive Protection (Driver) After watching the classic Condorman again about 12 years ago, I decided to create a character that 'might' have been a member of the Brochnoviatch, or at least was part of a program inspired by the film. He is activated by a callsign, 'Morovich'. Snezhinka (Snowflake)* Medical Specialist Gots some books on Russian/Soviet uniforms, wanted to get as accurate as I could for a female Medical Specialist. Staken HIND Pilot WIP, essentially just a specialty and codename for now... Swallow* Red Army Liaison Former Miss Soviet Army. Similar to Cover Girl, but realizes military service would allow her to move up in the world. Competent. Torero* Guerrilla Warfare (Cuban CME) Looking to expand the Guard, so adding characters from other nations sympathetic to Moscow. CME is the Commando de Missiones Especiales. There is also the CTE or Commando Troopas Especiales (Jungle Fighters). Vanya Sniper Vanya's Father disappeared in Sierra Gordo while there as a Miltary Advisor. Coincidently, the JOEs were on a mission to rescue Dr. Burkhart in Sierra Gordo at that time. Created character after watching 'Enemy at the Gates'. Volkoboy Parahawk/Aerosan Operator I geeked out when I saw Parahawks used to chase 007 down the mountain in 'TWINE', so I knew I wanted to somehow use obscure vehicles as a means for the Oktober Guard to get around. He can hunt wolves out on the tundra from the air. Yakor* Sailor Always wanted to bring in a Sailor to the Guard. His name is Vilchem Gehlikhen, and he is the 'Little Tovarisch' of the Team.
