Day 231 - Night Creeper Leader - (RAH) (5/1/26)

Rah week continues with the leader of the Night Creepers! Look at that cannon-huggin' fuck.

So I dislike everything about this character's design, but I know a lot of folks really love this era so I hope we get him on behalf of those fans.

 

[Ru1977]

I feel the exact same way. If they give him a cool alt head,.maybe tho.

Yep, and weaponed excessively just like this one.

So a reluctant yes for Bulletproof. Not a fan of the colours and design, but..........Classified.

I hate that I like this look of the Night Creeper Leader. It is part of the line that I was long past by the time it was originally released, and I never really cared all that much for Ninja Force/Battle Corps looks overall. However something about this version speaks to me and considering how well Classified has translated the designs I am sure they could do well by this version of Night Creeper Leader.

I like the design (my psychic powers predicted the camo), but it doesn't scream "I'm a Night Creeper that got a promotion". I don't know, needs more maroon and maybe a hood. And no cray-cray cannon. Do the kids these days still say cray-cray?

Y'know, I think that's what bugs me. He feels in line with Ninja Force designs but not as a Night Creeper. If he were in burgundy and silver even with his well-oiled chesticle situation I'd see him more thematically accurate.

Yeah, like Doc said, he definitely fits in with Ninja Force but doesn't feel like a NIght Creeper. I'd actually argue they did that a bunch at the end. The CG Commander looks less like a CG to me and more like a Viper merged with a BAT, and the Viper they did at the end looks more like a diver or something to me than the next evolution of the basic grunts.

Do the kids these days still say cray-cray?

I still do, if that helps, and I'm only 48. Sometimes I even make it cooler and shorten to simply "cray". That's just cray, damn that's hella cray, and so on.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Yes to Bullet-proof.
Pass on Night Creepy Leader.

 

[Chooch555]

Yes to Night Creeper Leader. We need more blind dudes.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Definitely want Bullet Proof. Someone has to lose to Headman and the Headhunters!!


Highest possible yes to Night Creeper Leader, and he needs to come with a DIC-style head and shoulder armor that can swap onto the original NC release.

Day 232a - Heavy Metal - (RAH) (5/2/26)

Rah week is wrapping up with the Mauler driver, Heavy Metal!
Yep, there's the back of him!

 

[canprime]

I actually found my 25th/ME Heavy Metal the other day. He would be an easy yes in Classified.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

A tank operator named Sherman. That’s the kind of groaner name that actually amuses me. Definitely open for Heavy Metal. Bring him on. Of course we’ll need a tank. HM and Steeler can crew it.
