Its time for the next Joe!

[DPrime]

All the Joes, with the exception of Snake Eyes and Dusty have M16M4 variants.

I think it's about time we see something different. They could probably use an MP-5 a bunch of times, with different gear and configurations, imo.

flint had shotguns, no m16 yea a different weapon is needed

Rock N Roll

I know a lot of people would want to see an American MG, and people would be all like "oh noes, ww2 weapon", but I want him to have an MG3.

[snakeeyes171]

i would rather see v2 of rock n roll with the two gattling guns that would rock his roll.

 

[DPrime]

Meh, no thanks.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

no M-60 for Rock N Roll?

 

[devilof76]

M-60 or nothing.

This is correct. Man, I need to hurry up and get my office set up so I can get my Joes unpacked and displayed.

Truth be told.

He didn't even come with an M-60.

At best, it's some weird amalgam of an M-60 stock and front grip with an MG-3.

Besides, the M-60 is barely even used anymore, and Sideshow's going for contemporary weapons, for the most part.

Maybe the best thing would be to give him a newer MG design, as I will admit that MG-3 is an OLD design, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Maybe an M-240, but that seems a little boring to me...

SAW would be a cool gun for RnR

Looks close enough for me.

No.

no.

HELL no.


The M249 SAW is the replacement for the M16 on full auto. Gives more rounds, but they are still 5.56mm.

Rock-n-Roll mneeds a Ma Deuce or it is a master fail.

If I remember correctly, he did. The old RAH carded figures used to identify the equipment each figure came with vertically on the right side of the carded figure. That's how, as a seven year old boy, I learned what an Uzi was. Rock N Roll's card art identified him as coming with an M60. Most likely Hasbro did not have the ability to replicate an M60 accurately in plastic.

A M249 should come with Rock N Roll, but just like Stalker came with his old school submachine gun, Rock N Roll should also come with M60.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Anyone see the latest Renegades episode? I liked what they did with Airtight. That would be a pretty cool 1/6 figure.

 

[thenammagazine]

Truth be told.

Rock 'n' Roll needs the M240B if they're not going with his original amalgamation.

It'll still allow him to have his crossed ammo belts too.

Nah, Rock 'n' Roll was never THAT guy. Save the .50 cal for Roadblock.

Yeah, maybe they CALLED it that, but that doesn't mean it is.

Considering how intricate and detailed the weapons sculpts were, I seriously doubt Hasbro couldn't replicate an M60 accurately - but who knows? There might have been some kind of licensing issue or something.

Yep, the SAW is too wimpy for Rock 'n' Roll, but the M2 Browning is TOO much. I think 'Nam's idea is probably best. I never saw an M240 look as "modern" as that one - it'd be a good choice, I think.

Gotta have the crossed ammo belts, though.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I don't think there's any doubt he'll have the bandoliers. I was always a fan of both V1 and V2. If they go with V1 I am defiantly cool with that, but hope they provide the cap from the V2 in addition to the helmet.

I'd much prefer they give him the crossed 7.62 ammo belts and the M240B than the silly, highly unrealistic dual-wielding miniguns the V2 came with. Even going with the MK48 would be a huge disservice to R&R, given it's only fractionally bigger than the 249. Hell, they can give the M240B an updated look from the pic I posted by simply slapping an ACOG or even an EOTECH and Magnifier on it.
