Highway (another COPS/DEF reimagining)

Hey all.

Some may remember my batch of COPS/DEF mash-ups from a while back:

I got lots of questions about additional members for the "Urban Eagles," and wasn't sure where I was going next. Turns out, it was Highway:

Highway
Urban Eagles Transportation Specialist
File Name: David Harlson
Primary MOS: Transportation
Secondary MOS: Security
Grade: E-5 (equivalent)
Highway grew up watching reruns of C.H.i.P.s on TV Land and Smoey and the Bandit on TNT. His parents first suspected he might be a little "off" when he cheered through the latter for Sheriff Beauford T. Justice and his unrelenting "hot pursuit." He worked his way through college as a security guard at a mega home and building supply warehouse, driving a golf cart through the lot to keep drive-thru patrons honest. Five years later, he was patrolling the streets of Los Angeles on a souped up police issue hog. Came to Bullet Proof's attention after dismounting said hog at more than 80 miles an hour to infiltrate a moving SUV full of Cobra agents and illegal arms. Clinched his spot on the team when he managed to gain control of the SUV and incapacitate the three enemy agents without dropping below 75 mph.

Here's a shot of him with his field associates (Siren's back at the HQ).

Pretty simple recipe. Used the original design for Bullet Proof's jacket to make a more cycle-friendly getup and picked a nice tan-looking head to top it off.

What do you guys think?

Very cool. Nice to see more COPS from you. Gotta ask...where are the CROOKS?

Cool. Cops had some cool characters, though I must admit I like them better the way you've made them, without the bionic gadgets...

Really like your COPS project, Highway is a great addition.

Thanks, guys. Glad this idea hasn't lost it's charm.

I've got a few more in the works and then I think I'm going to lock down the roster on the good guys and make some Crooks. Of course, those will also be amalgams, so don't expect a straight-up Buttons McBoom Boom (which sounds like a stripper name if I ever heard one).

I wasn't so sure about his design since he looks way more like a soldier then a motorcycle cop, but man the group shot sold me on him. He fits in perfectly with your overall vision of the team.

Most of the body is Ripcord from the Attack on the Pit exclusive. The upper arms are from the Target exclusive Snake Eyes (came with a cycle) and the lowers are dyed Hawk arms with Deep Six (SRO) hands.

The head belonged to Switch Gears.

The vest was the Pit Commando's and the helmet belonged to Footloose.
