Tbolts team...PLZ help ^^

[hellview]

Hey guys... I am wanting to make a custom thunderbolts team using existing dials for the stats(i also want figs, not just stats)..Can anyone help at all? so far i have..
Songbird (r klaw) made of a jean grey repaint
Moonstone(after absorbing lifestone) (vision) repainted rogue for fig.
any suggestions would be appreciated:)

[hellview]

oops double post.. :( still need your help though:D

I think you should use Hawkeye for Hawkeye, but that's just me... :)

A little work on Ultron and he could make a pretty good Mach-whatever the heck he's up to now....

Atlas could be made from Hercules, and probably even use his dial... it's not great since you could make a case for him having Invulnerability, but the dial is stable enough to make a case for his indestructability.

Jolt could possibly be made from Yellowjacket...

I guess that's all the help I'll be... good luck with your project...

It may also help if we knew if you are talking about doing a 'classic' Tbolts team, or the new team that debuted at the end of #75... the 'stupid' Tbolts team :)

I agree with your Moonstone choice.

Quasar is a better Songbird dial though it's a bit powerful (Barriers, TK, RCE, later Defend and Incapacitate, it's a perfect fit besides the high numbers and life).

Zemo - Red Skull for now I suppose. There isn't a BCF fig you could use as Zemo stats wise, but Psylocke might actually fit the bill, or Silver Samurai.

Atlas - Sentinel if you want the appropriate 'big fig' rules, Hulk if you want a 'starts small, gets big and angry' setup.

Jolt - Quicksilver is a perfect fit.

MACH-1 - Ehh... it's a stretch, but Annihilus fits the bill. PErhaps a bit too powerful having Invulnerability, but Running shot, flight and multiple targets is very authentic. Could be a feasible MACH-2 or 3 dial.

Techno-robot - Mr. Fantastic is a good choice (range, Invulnerability, Outwit). True Techno can fly, but it's not a perfect fit...

Fixer - Dr. Strange. Multitude of abilities. If Mr F. for the robot Techno doesn't suit you, again, there's Strange.

Charcoal - urf. Annihilus would work again but that's a bit overkill. Steel's dial can also work but I feel Charcoal was tough enough to warrant invulnerability. He really should have a bit of Plasticity too perhaps but again, it's not a perfect fit.

That's all the original bolts plus Jolt and Charcoal anyway..... of course there's Plant-Man and Dallas Riordan as well.

Thanks guys :) yeah, quasar could have been used for songbird but i didnt want her to be too powerful (plus klaw invented her sound-carapace so i thought it was kinda kewl :p )

hmm would black panther (v) be a suitable Citizen V?
besides the leap climb..the powers seem right. Blades for obvious reasons and outwit because he was a smart guy, but not a mastermind like his father.

[Thunderbolts]

Good catch. Never considered Black Panther when going through the BCF candidates, and Outwit seals the deal. Well done.

Re: Songbird... I misread that to say you were using Jean Grey's dial... Klaw works, I suppose.

[hellview]

yeah if only he didnt have leap/climb :)
hmm wondering... E or R annihilus for mach? Im leaning towards R, but the doom ability is so appealing :D

In fact I've been customizing the redeemers team, and had some common choices to do.

I first used Mr Fantastic combat dial & fig to make Smuggler. I reshaped his movement by heating lighly his arms and body on a flame. I also reshaped his head.

For Fixer, I used a DC Black manta body, and a lot of little plastic pieces to make his backpack. His head is a DC Aquaman head modified. I used the combat dial of an Octopus veteran.

For the Beetle, I used the upper part of a Mandroid armor, and DC Steel's legs & arms. I used some other pieces for the "wings" device on his pack.

I used a Dove fig for Jolt, using a DC Flash combat dial.

I also made a "ground" charcoal with a clobering time Thing, adding "diamond spikes". His combat dial is the same as the Thing.

Finally, I used a Yellow Jacket fig to make Meteorite, with a DC Hawkman combat dial...

Of course, some work is needed to reshape the figs, mainly for heads.

I plan to use a DC Batman fig for Citizen V...I thought his combat dial could work well too...

What do you think?

[hellview]

Both the dial and the sculpt of batman work well for Citizen V.. Would Sandmans dial work for charcoal?

[chrysalis]

The problem with Charcoal is that he's very versatile. When I had to chose which dial I would use for him, I considered three characters: the Thing, for a ground, diamond-thick Charcoal, Johny Storm for the "burning man" Charcoal and finally Sandman for the "polymorph" Charcoal.

To my mind it depends on the role of your own Charcoal in the team. I had enough flying and "elastic" members of the Redeemers in my team, so I prefered to have a strong one...

I can't say that I am familiar with the character at all, but from what you are saying here, wouldn't Super Skrull work really well? He has the Thing's strength, the Torche's fire, and Mr. Fantastic's plascticity.

Just a thought.

[chrysalis]

That's a good idea, but Super Skrull is Unique...Well... If you are ready to sacrify a Super Skrull for your Charcoal, he would probably fit really well! :)
