Was hoping someone might have some stories up their sleeve as to how the baron chose the helmet, some sort of indiana-jones-discover-it-in-an-ancient-aztec-temple type thing?
Would be nice to see sketches of it, similar to the ones in the annuals those engineering drawing type doo-dahs of the vehicles.
I keep meaning to do some fanfic myself, I want something to explain what Moondancer and Red Wolf were up to during World Enemy #1, and how they ended up in the new teams as a result. Would be nice to thread in Dolphin somehow too...
In fact, while I'm on the subject, do you have any plans on adding the DD Shadows to your Timeline, Barto?
To me, Baron Ironblood's helmet is as iconic as Cobra Commanders.
I always saw it as a piece of hi-tech equipment with 'Heads Up Displays', communicators and limited life-support.
It had to be that shape to reflect the figure, but the comics certainly made a potentially 'boring' design look far more dynamic and interesting. I just wish the action figure's helmet had been that cool.
Well for a start it would have voice amplification like Cobra Commander's battle helmet and maybe voice modulation for his hypnotism as well as hiding his face from the public. And most likely act as a gas mask to.
Spock, where the hell's the power you promised?
