Couldn't find a specific figure back when I started these guys and really got the idea off a couple figures that I found in a bargin bin at a local used toy store. However when I posted those figures it turned out they were pretty expensive figures from Horrorclix line I believe. My son found our one metropolis SCU figure and thought it looked like the MRD picture and I agreed it was the closest thing we could find.

MUTANT ASSAULT FORCE
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may move and attack with up to two M.R.D. Troopers you control. If there is at least one Mutant figure within 6 spaces of at least one M.R.D. Trooper you control, you may move and attack with up to two additional M.R.D. Troopers you control.
Yes the intent is for it to activate if they are visible at the start of the turn. The theme is that they are "on patrol" in groups of two but upon contact with a Mutant they call in backup and swarm in force.

Trooper seems a little weird to me as a class. Maybe Soldier?

Other than that, they look good to me. There's pretty much no reason to draft them if your opponent doesn't have Mutants, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
Without mutants they are pretty much a two man squad of humans but yeah their main reason for existence is mutant extermination/capture.

One sentence seems long and your second attempt is better than mine but I can work on it some more.

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.
