When I first started in on making GI Joe Adventure Team gear sets, I began with a project that seemed fitting for the time. An Adventure Team Cyber Counter-Attack<\/strong> set. This would be a set of gear designed to counter a Cyber attack by a terrorist operation.<\/p>\n

The concept is very old:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’d say I sketched this up in 2013, not long after I got my first 3D printer. Or maybe even before.<\/p>\n

Anyway, since then, this set has kind of sat dormant in my mind, but at the time, I actually had begun working on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see from the concept, the Cyber EMP Grenade\/Mine<\/strong> is intended to emit a blast of electromagnetic energy powerful enough to shut down any electronics in a region – the aim, to counter any Cyber Attack.<\/p>\n

I did work on this EMP Grenade long ago. The design uses 3 magnets. One sits in the main body of the mine\/grenade. Another sits on the end of a plunger, with a repulsing effect, so it acts like a spring. This allows you to push the plunger down as if there is a spring inside. This section acts like a grenade, and can be tossed.<\/p>\n

Then the EMP Grenade can sit inside a cradle with another magnet inside that acts in two ways: It attracts the EMP Grenade to keep it in place in the cradle, and also the base magnet works to attach the mine to any metal surface for detonation later.<\/p>\n

In 2023 Greg and I made a new set called Spy Island – Aerial Assault Superset<\/a><\/strong>, which included a Helijet in red\/black, an Aerial Drone (with attachment), a drop canister, 3 EMP Grenade\/Mines, and a wrist controller. The rest of the set is themed in black\/red and together it made one gorgeous set!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next item in the original (old) concept is an EMP Cannon. I did begin fleshing out some basic shapes in 3D but left it alone for many years.<\/p>\n

This year, my brain got obsessed with it again, and I worked on a prototype of the EMP Cannon that I could use to help flesh out this original set, long abandoned.<\/p>\n

So to cut a long story into a short clip, I did it:<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

These are not final pics. Though the only difference between this and the “final” so far, is that I actually cut the hexagonal light blue emitter into a backing, and a hex grid, so the grid itself is actually black.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also, I intend to use an internal light (a finger light) to make it light up.<\/p>\n

More on that as it develops.<\/p>\n

The astute will note that to complete this set, I still have to make a pair of VR Goggles, and a control tablet. Though the control tablet is actually made, just not quite to the design in this concept:<\/p>\n
