I have recently retrofited the GI Joe extreme Universe into my greater joe Universe. I rewrote a few biographies to make the switch. After Reading the Bios which I will post below I would love suggestions on which parts to use (both RAH and New) to create these wonderful characters.
Lt. Stone:
File Name: Stone, Jack Trevor. Grade: LT
Code Name: Lt Stone
P.O.: Devonshire, England
S.N.: XXXXXX
P.M.S.: Training and Tactics
S.M.S.: Commando/Pilot
He is an ex S.A.S. operative chose to head up the international junior officer training corps. His checkered past has had him serving in the Falklands and other high profile British military engagements over the past two decades but there are large blank spots where his dossier simple says transferred to MI 5. Having spent his life devoted to counter terrorist efforts Stone has made many friends and quite a few enemies. General Clayton “Hawk” Abernathy conceder's him to be his equal in almost every capacity and has kept in close contact with Stone since their first meeting in 1982, when Hawk was creating the GI Joe team. This counter terrorism guru was in a major helicopter crash in 2000 and was rewired with a bio-mechanically enhanced arm. Any whom have tasted the Lt’s left hook could attest to that. Even Action Force Commander Eagle states that Stone is more qualified than he, thusly he has the respect of all Action Force members and that respect translates well for anyone who has passed his program. His favorite weapons are the Steyer AUG and SAS Para Knife.

Ballistic:
File Name: Salvetti, Albert
Code Name: Ballistic(s)
P.O.: Diprenzio, Italy
S.N.: XXXXXX
P.M.S.: Sharp Shooter
S.M.S.: Executive Escort
A talent at a young age Ballistic knew his only field of choice would be military. He loves the stringent code and organized life ironically his only major character flaw is his temper. One place Albert would be calm cool and collected was on the rifle range where he demonstrated prowess with many high powered rifles. Unfortunately it was his temper that caused him to stumble in advancement; luckily his detachment was deployed to perform security duties for the Pope. Ballistic and his crew found a stash of SKAR weaponry and defused a possible assassination attempt. Lt. Stone, who had been tracking the SKAR soldiers, saw how the situation unfurled. Ballistic beat information out of a guard. This wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary except for the fact that Ballistic nearly beat the low ranking soldier to death. From the shadows Stone watched and realized that he would take young hot heads like Ballistic and wrangle them into real top notch leaders. Thusly Ballistic became the first member of EX.T.R.E.M.E.


Black Dragon: (Hex in the Joe universe)
File Name: Lee, Kang Chi
Code Name: Hex
P.O.: Hong Kong, China
S.N.: XXXXXX
P.M.S.: Hand to Hand Combat Instructor
S.M.S.: Infiltration
Hex first served as a mid level gang soldier for the Tongs, a criminal family in Hong Kong. He had learned the craft of the ninja since childhood. Unfortunately for him gang politics are as cutthroat as they come. All too often loyal warriors are fed to the machine to preserve the elite’s standards of living. One night the son of a local level boss made a pass at the woman Hex had been their with. Normally anyone who had done this would have been a target for their humiliation but the son cracked jokes about his fathers rank in the family and affronted Hex, only a low level messenger boy. Not taking his disgrace well he ended up taking the conflict to bar fights. Instead of punishing the son nepotism set in and a hit was put on Hex’s head. He lived the next two years with only his sword and a 9mm pistol. On a visit to Hong Kong Stone had been wandering on the rougher side of town when he found his way into the life of Hex. Some young ruffians had begun to extort money from an elderly shop keep that had hired Kang to sweep for the day. He jumped the young men who were numerically and physically larger. The Old buck watched from the corner as the hooligans were sent packing. It was then he saw the second member of the new team emerge. After some discussion and the harrowing tale of mob hit men Stone decided to use the name that the Tongs gave him. They had sent so many hit men after him, all of whom wound up dead, that he was called the Hex of South Hong Kong.


these are the first of the ten members of my EXTREME team !

Thanks for reading -

Steve

That's how I did the Extreme guys. I still need to do Mayday, and find some reference for the cartoon only Screaming Eagles. I figured if Savage joined Extreme, he'd take the Eagles with him, so I've incorporated them to fill out the team a bit. After that, I just need a decnt recipe for the SKAR Troopers and I'm golden . . .

Here are two new sculpt takes on two of the character's from me:

Freight--mashup of Freight and Fridge.


Black Dragon


Got the idea for the head from Matthew.

_________________

This is actually the first part of Incorporating a couple of less than stellar story lines into the Greater Joe continuity.

EXTREME vs SKAR: A more international Team under the Action Force
Eagles vs Iron Army: Domestic Security
COPS vs Crooks: Filling out the Joes Police wing

Each character is getting a new biography and hopefully a new pattern for a figure this projct should take quite some time with approximatly 45 named characters and 10 troop builders!

Do you want your Stone to look more like the Extreme version or the Sigma 6 version?

I did not realize that lt stone was from extreme.
