Well, I guess I can be persuaded:

Here’s:

Blackbody

The Triumph Division 

and Battlewagon

 

Good stuff, and I haven't heard of any of them. Homework time:

Blackbody - From 90s Silver Surfer solo run. The Blackbodies were created to instill fear in the population of the universe. Through this fear, the Uni-Lord was able to be fed with prayers. The Blackbody brings fear to all it comes across and it has the power to take all living souls into it that help power the Uni-Lord.

Triumph Division - First appeared in Invincible Iron Man #8 circa 2008. The Triumph Division were a group consisting of Philippines' finest superheroes.[2] Even though they were headquartered in the Triumph Hall in Manila,[3] they also dedicated their lives to protecting a good portion of Southeast Asia.[4] Following a Filipino tradition, the legacy of its members are familial and run back centuries, with each new generation training their whole lives to replace their elders.

Battlewagon - Couldn't find much on this, but it looks amazing and I want one. Looks like it's from Ultraverse/Prototype? The ML team must not know this exists, because you know they'd love to reuse that Bonebreaker tooling.

@h-bird 

Your instincts are correct. He’s an Ultraverse character (c’mon, you all knew I was going slide some in, somewhere). Battlewagon is a Prototype (Ruiz) antagonist, with personal history involving Ruiz.  Like Bonebreaker, he’s a cyborg.  
Would everyone be interested in a brief synopsis of the characters offered?  Might it help to add a sentence or two in your decision making, or just for a bit of info?  Feel free to give me some feedback.  

I for one appreciate the sentence or two giving some background on some of these characters.  My knowledge of Marvel is limited to the few comics I was able to get as a kid and my serious collecting days from the end of the 80's to the early 90's.  I can google them like anyone else, but I often won't if the look doesn't grab me.

I would pass on all of today's choices.  Although if I saw Blackbody at retail, I'd probably pick it up because I like the look.

detectivehoag I appreciate your efforts to keep this thread alive while beamish is away.

Blackbody looks cool. I'd be very tempted, even if I don't know the character.

Thanks @detectivehoag for keeping this going in Beamish's absence!

Yeah, if it's not too much work, the background is interesting- I googled the Triumph Division because they appealed to me and I was curious. I'm going to read those IM issues on MU. 

I would pick up all of today's picks, but the only one I NEED is Battlewagon.  I didn't know he existed before today, but now my life is incomplete.

And wherever @beamish is I hope he's relaxing and enjoying himself.  Dude deserves a break from keeping this place afloat all on his lonesome.
