Okay, so apparently I'm not as done with conversions as I thought.

But my memory is fading with advancing age and I can't remember if after Jeffries became Box, did he ever turn his arm into a gun/missile weapon?

I remember the goofy T-Rex thing he did, but I can't remember if he did the gun thing.

Any help appreciated.

He was constantly altering the Box in combat situations. I don't specifically remember a gun arm but I know he fired energy from his hands and torso all the time.

Yep, gun arm, as I recall a multibarelled kind of thing. Are you going with the sleek version or the Box-y version?

Heh, I seemed to remember the multi-barrel thing, but in a panic, I went with a normal hand instead.

I just finished painting him and I'll try and get a pic up soon. My "model" for the mod was the only pic I could find on the web, the one with the newer suit standing behind Jeffries.

Now I just have to finish the Grim Reaper, Wild Child, Diamond Lil, Turbo and figure out if I really want to make a Smart Alec...

Wow...those links rule. :) More fodder for the favorites folder. Much appreciated.

Flashback....Don't remember him/her? Was that the guy who became either a neandrathal or a big brain?

Flashback was the member of Gamma and Omega Flight, who could summon future versions of himself. He may have ceased to exist as one of his future selves was killed.

I figured him as a crowd scene of, say, five figs with Thug bases. He had a black and white unifirm.

So he was kind of like multiple man?

Flashback was/is sort of like Multiple Man, but MM gained his doubles out of being struck and possibly other energy sources.

yes, but the main gyst of his powers was to be able to bring more of himslef about and overwhelm his opponent

Wasn't he the guy in the yellow and black suit who hung out with purple girl? After Walters spirit took over Snowbirds body?

I thought he could only make 3 different versions of himself from 3 specific evolutionary archetypes.

Goblyn was cool too. Talk about flury/bcf.

Naw, Flashback and the guy in yellow and black are/were different characters. I wish that I could remember the yellow and black guy's name. I think that I remember Flashback summoning five or so of his self. The other guy had an Apeman/Cave man form, an amoebic form and an evolutionarily advanced form, IIRC.

I remember him now! That was the guuy who had one of his duplicates killed in the battle vs. Alpha and went crazy when he realized that meant at some point he was just going to drop dead, right?

I'd have to look for a good base fig, but I just saw his costume and it looks more or less doable. Those little shoulder "wings" for lack of a better word might be a PITA, but probably not.

And Heck, if I'm going to try and do smart alec in the big brain hat, might as well make a clean sweep of it, eh?

Yep, Proditor, that's the guy.

The evolutionary guy's name was Manikin.

Thank you, I haven't been able to remember.
