Sigma 6 Rock 'n Roll v.2

While my first version of Rock 'n Roll still has a place in my Joeverse, I felt I needed one that was more traditional so I reached into my spare figure pile and this is what came out.

ROCK 'n' ROLL

Base Figure: Spirit head (modified) / Long Range body
Accessories: Ninja Battles Snake-Eyes pants / 1/6 scale minigun

My first version of Rock 'n Roll fits a specific role in my Joeverse but I felt I needed a more traditional version for my main team.  I saw another custom on the boards that used the Spirit head as a base and the long hair worked well.  I wanted to keep the lean and mean surfer look so I used the Long Range body because its pretty ripped but not too bulky, just the look I wanted.  I sculpted a beard onto the head, added some paint and pants and all he needed was some gear.  I bought one of the 1/6 scale CyGirls miniguns as it has the futuristic look I wanted since I see RnR as using prototype weaponry.

UPDATE 1/14/07: In my neverending quest to perfect my Rock 'n Roll custom I have yet again revisited him.  Finding the 1/6 scale Rock 'n Roll weapons was what inspired me to do this revamp.  I was never completely happy with the minigun so this new weapon set was just what I was looking for.  I also took some time and updated his paint scheme, giving him a more olive drab color and a few more accents.  I also redid his fleshtone with a custom mix that isn't as pale as what I had originally painted him.  The backpack is simply the RnR pack glued to the sled part of Tunnel Rats street luge thing.  I painted the weapons in a gray because the original blue was just wrong.  Hopefully I'll leave him alone now that he's almost exactly how I want him.  Just need to find some nice camo pants that don't take too much modification and I'll be 100% happy.  I think...

Code Name: Rock 'n Roll
Real Name: McConnell, Craig S.
Heavy Machine Gunner

Primary Military Specialty: Heavy Machine Gunner
Secondary Military Specialty: S.E.A.L.

Rock 'n Roll was the typical West Coast surfer in southern California's trendy Malibu.  He surfed all day and partied all night until his girlfriend was killed in a robbery gone bad.  When the investigation turned up the fact that the killer was part of a gang known as the Dreadnoks who worked for a world-wide terrorist organization, McConnell enlisted in the military.  His love of sand and surf pointed him to the one branch of the military that fit his personality  -  the Navy.  McConnell spent years training and working towards his goal of revenge on everyone involved in the murder of his girlfriend  and was eventually accepted into the elite Navy S.E.A.L.s.  He excelled in his training and missions and showed an aptitude for covert operations and "wet work".

It was his performance with S.E.A.L. Team 5 that brought him to the attention of Sigma 6 leader General Abernathy.  Rock 'n Roll's covert ops training was ideal for Sigma 6 however he was reluctant to leave the "teams".  That was until he learned that the mandate of Sigma 6 was to track down and eliminate Cobra, the terrorist organization that the Dreadnoks worked for.   He jumped at the chance to finally get close to the men that killed his girlfriend.

Assigned to the Sigma 6 Sea Ops Unit, under Chief Torpedo, Rock 'n Roll serves as the units infiltration expert.  He is not fond of Torpedo, blaming him for the loss of an entire team of SEALs under Torpedo's command.  However Rock 'n Roll has learned to put his personal feelings aside in favor of getting the mission accomplished.  He is a professional and does his job extremely well.  His personality is cold and distant and he rivals only Snake-Eyes for broodiest team member but he is always the first to show up when a team member is in trouble.  Rock 'n Roll hasn't given up on finding his girlfriend's killer but he puts the team and their mission first.
