Code Name: Redline/Torque/Sparkplug
File Name: Chambers, Mallory J.
Primary Specialty: 91B - Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic
Secondary Specialty: 88M - Motor Transport Operator
Grade: E-5 Sergeant
Birthplace: Carbondale, IL

Born and raised in Carbondale, IL, Redline grew up surrounded by freight trains, college kids, and the roar of the local dirt track. Her father ran a small auto shop off Route 13, where she was rebuilding pick up trucks and dirt bikes before she could legally drive. A year of university in Chicago didn't suit her, but her mechanical instincts and fearless attitude made her a natural fit for the Army's Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic program, where she earned a reputation for fixing anything with wheels... often faster than the training and manual said was possible. Not content to sit in a garage, she cross-trained as a Motor Transport Operator, mastering tactical driving under fire and convoy logistics in hostile terrain.

Redline's dual expertise made her invaluable during a high-risk extraction mission in the Middle East, where she repaired a MRAP under fire, then drove it through the minefield to rescue a pinned down squad. Her battlefield composure, grit, and technical skill earned her a fast track to the GI Joe team, where she serves as the lead motor pool specialist and combat driver. It doesn't matter if Redline is tearing down engines or tearing apart Cobra convoys, she shows that horsepower and heroism go hand in hand.

"Redline's the reason the motor pool runs like clockwork. And the reason the enemy runs like hell. If she's driving, I'm riding."

M4 Carbine with Underslung Shotgun, M1911 Pistol, Torch, Wrench, Tactical pack with spare parts, mini-jack, and a portable drone for diagnostics ("Rat-Ass").

Loosely inspire by someone I knew in basic who wanted to be an MTO in Afghanistan/Iraq at the peak, and a good ol' country girl I knew.

Drill sergeant: "Let me get this straight, you signed a contract to drive a shiny, heavy tanker filled with gasoline - flammable, explosive gasoline - right through that open desert or rocky canyons where they got IEDs and RPGs."
Kid: "Yes, Drill Sergeant."
DS, walking away shaking his head: "Every cycle I find the next dumbest son of a bitch."

I REALLY love the name Sparkplug. It seems to fit her so well. Love the bio too!
 
When I finally ship my PoL I'll have the new Cover Girl and I was gonna use her as Cover Girl and make the old one someone else. I see the Joan Rivers resemblance, but the outfit kind of reminds me of a mix between Lara Croft and almost any generic fortnite skin (boots and pants). I'm probably not very good at bios and such, since I never really got into Joe's as a kid. But, if the names aren't taken, Greaser, Rev, Tire Iron, Car Jack (I really like this one, it has a couple levels to it, this is the one i may use), Nitro (probably taken?), and Offroad (possibly also taken?). And maybe you guys can fiddle around with those a bit too and come up with something epic. I was just trying to think of things someone would call a car junkie (also possibly a good name? Road Junkie?).

I'm not 100% sure what names I will end up using, but I think Lara will be here first name, and probably Car Jack could be the codename.
And tbf, Cover Girl isn't a mechanic name. They gave her that code cause she was a model, I think. So you can look out of the car/vehicle wheelhouse if you really want to.

That Ninja Scarlet is something... I don't hate it, but a couple of those design choices I could live without. Like the giant fuckin scales on her shoulders and arms.

Lots of people hate seem to hate those, but I actually like them. I mean, they're a little silly because she is bare-armed otherwise, but they're a direct reference to certain types of armor worn by Feudal samurai, so I get where they were going with it trying to tie her in to the theme.

I initially thought about making the new one Cover Girl and calling the old one code name "Facelift" (given to her in secret by all the other Joes). Her thing was that she was jealous of Cover Girl getting all the Joe boys so she went under the knife one too many times and now looks like Joan Van Ark and has to hide out in a dimly lit dusty garage working on Joe vehicles all the time.

This is why I asked for help from actual talented people to write my bio though.
 
I double-checked my old Cover Girl and her ID does in fact say "DONOR" so good on her. Useful even in death...maybe moreso.

Raise your hand if you're anxious about Crystal Ball's availability this week! Would be nice to have a week off from Hasbro toy availability worries. It's only a matter of time before those of us left with pre-orders have them cancelled. Then we contact CS and tell them how disappointed we are, they tell us they "couldn't find stock" to send us and give us a $10 off $15 purchase credit, which we put towards the next pre-order to be cancelled. Logistics are hard! We get it, Walmart!

As the old saying goes - "A bird in hand is not worth a bird in the bush."
 
FYI even after buying my 3, my Walmart is still sitting on at least 8 Crystal Balls. If anyone needs one let me know. I should be able to ship it anywhere in the US for around $6.
 
Yeah, Walmarts track record has been awful lately. I ordered an ‘in stock’ DC Multiverse Jim Gordon figure the other day and they tried to substitute it with a Marvel Legends Endgame Captain America (and wanted me to pay the $5 more for him as well). No thanks!
 
Walmart emailed me to check my CC method and address because they'd be getting Crystal Ball ready to ship. Hasn't moved to "Preparing" in my order status yet, but I'm hopeful.
 
So now that we’ve gotten Cold Slither, that means these four are up for the next silly box set, right?

Mine just changed to "Preparing" in the past hour but I'm not sure if that holds any weight.

EDIT: I'll be damned, mine shipped!

Timber will need a stand to get that pose.

But yeah, three figures, two animals, and a saxophone? Seems like an easy green light.
