Opaline Arcana as Baron Ironblood, the ruthless leader of the Red Shadows from G.I. Joe’s UK sister toyline, Action Force.

I had had the idea of using G5, TFH, and community OC characters for exclusive or overseas characters as part of this series. I chose Opaline for the Baron because they are both dangerous megalomaniacs bent on world conquest, with Opaline going on G4/G5’s continuity being the most absolute dangerous villain Equestria ever faced, and with the Action Force comics showing Ironblood to be even more ruthless and dangerous than G.I. Joe’s Cobra Commander (and that’s before getting into Action Force’s origin for Cobra Commander).

As an aside - getting Imagen to get Opaline’s hairstyle right was nigh impossible.
