Robo-JOE!

[Preventer MK II]

Finally getting around to posting this after Jay named it a CCotW. Love him or hate him, he's still a JOE, and thanks to our friend David Willis' little stunt with the Shortpacked TNI edition, we all remember who he is now!

 

I would've never thought of doing this, were it not for the fact that a perfect base figure literally walked by me. I had heard about the new MagWarrior figs, but had not seen any until I was at Target one fine afternoon and saw a kid contemplating getting one. I can't remember who the guy's name is, but he's the perfect choice for a base. Unfortunately, mine was a dud with two left hands, so the hands from my sacrificial Blackout figure were used along with the head.

 

 

The original head of the figure was converted into a helmet, and I drilled into the shoulder, exposing the magnet joint from the shoulder. Using the magnet from the head, I turned it into a peg mount for the shoulder cannon, which was the missile launcher that was mounted to a turret that came with the figure.

 

 

He's a monster next to other Joe figures, which works for me, since I always saw Dr. Scott to be more of a crude mechanical monstrosity.
