My Dio's #3 Gathering of the Crimson Guard.

At an abandoned Military complex deep in the woods of Hingham Massachusetts.

The following photo's depicts my Crimson Guard forces. Now here are a few explanations of my 'Joe Verse' Cobra Chain of command. The Crimson Guard are

the Elitist brigade of Cobra Forces. Highly Trained, Highly dangerous, their purpose is for the most stealth of missions and also the protection of the members of the Cobra chain of Command. The Crimson Guard Immortals are the Personal protectors of Cobra Commander.

The first shot is of a pair of Crimson ASP's near the abandoned fort, a Crimson Viper Recon team checks in while on perimeter patrol. (In my Cobra vers' the Crimson Vipers have nothing to do with the crimson Guard. They are basically a Recon/Guard unit)

There are four basic steps in my Crimson Guard forces. The bottom of that barrel would be what is known to many as the 'Blue' Crimson Guard immortals. In my 'verse' these would be Cobra's selected to join the Elite Crimson Guard but who have not yet earned the distinguished Crimson Uniform. They are known as CG Trainees. Spending their time learning and becoming proficient with all Cobra technology.

The second step to the top of the Crimson Guard chain would be Crimson Guard
Infantry. (Or 'Bronze' Guards men) Distinguished by their bronze emblems 'Non Silver' on their chests. Their purpose is as Battle front leaders and special missions teams. Not quiet at the top of their levels hence they miss the Elite arm insignia of the elite Crimson Guard members.

The third step up is the 'Crimson Guards men' these are the old Crimson Guardsmen. Their Silver Insignias, Arm Insignias and silver highlights on their uniforms designate these as the elite troops of Cobra. Most Cobra soldiers stop their climb at this position. Given the task as generals over town and city take over 'by any means necessary' these are the Crème of the crop in Cobra Forces.

The Crimson Guard Immortals are the end all be all, with in the Ranks of the cobra forces. They are the hand picked and most trusted Guardsmen of Cobra Commander him self. Protected by multi layers of body armor and given the most state of the art equipment these super soldiers are dangerous on their own and even more lethal as a squad.

My Crimson Guard General is shown here. (I know he's not the Crimson Guard commander produced by Hasbro nor is he one of the traitorous evil twins, But
in my 'Cobra Vers' he is the best man for the job.) A personal friend to Cobra Commander and one of the elitist Generals in all the ranks, General Crimson (known as Red Laser to non 'KING vers' followers) he is the utmost fearless and ruthless general in all of the Cobra forces besides Cobra Commander him self.

The next two pictures are shots of the entire Crimson guard force before deployment to a theater of Cobra operations.

Thanks for checking em out. More to come as usual!!!!
KING.
