Hey, I wouldn't kid you. Maybe the boiler-suit apes need to be trotted out to make pulp and WWII games more true-to-life. link |

A buddy of mine was desperately looking for Nazi apes with guns recently, to no avail. It's a shame nobody has jumped on doing WW II gorillas with guns… |

…WWII ZOMBIE gorillas with guns! Ridin' them bikes with a big front wheel! |

Roman Apes are available and not Nazi apes? |
| CmdrKiley | 17 Nov 2006 2:11 p.m. PST |
Yeah in the Dust comic the Nazis had cyborg ape soldiers fighing Soviets in powered armor. |

There are one or two simians in the Superfig line that could be converted. |

This must be a record for the number of threads on the same subject! |

The article's not a suprise… 'eugenics' was a popular idea of the time among many nations in Europe, as well as North America,and South America. Granted, Stalin's idea certainly qualifies as 'lunatic fringe'! |

Yeah, lunacy. I mean really, what's next?
I suppose someone will come along claiming they can crack an atom in two. Imagine the wierdos that come along trying to duplicate a living creature!
Every idea is stupid…until it works.

Their chief scientist was exiled to Kazakhstan….you don't think he was Borat's granddad do you…?
Or maybe he continued his work there…a la Mengele in Boys from Brazil…..Hay Fayve….. |

Heh. And here I came into this thread expecting to see a link to some vendor's 28mm Heroic figures ;-). Yeah, wonder why the society failed when your scientific research doesn't pan out and they exile you to Kazakhstan. And their exile wasn't European exile, no wonder he died of a chill. Of course, the society meant to be egalitarian trying to create a permanent underclass is kind of amusing… Don. |

I have an element if ape-men in my Weird WWII Soviet army for 'Hordes of the Things'. Inspired by that very article, of course. They can be seen (out of focus) in the foreground of this picture: link |

"Their chief scientist was exiled to Kazakhstan….you don't think he was Borat's granddad do you…?" Nah. The Ape-Man was Borat's granddad. :p |

Check out these hybrids: link
link Personally, you create a more aggressive and resourceful hybrid, although smaller-framed, if it was human-chimp and not human-gorilla. Chimps are the most aggressive of the great apes. They love to hunt monkeys and have even been known to eat enemy chimps. The aggressive tendencies have now sparked some chimp groups to create weapons, such as spears, to further accomplish their goals: link Gorillas and Orangutans haven't developed hunting weapons because they don't have that aggressive drive, even though they live in similar environments, have monkeys and other vulnerable creatures around and are under similar habitat pressures.
