I thought I'd make a good true Helper Marine item, with every weapon. I searched through the resources to find as many of the different weapon marines as I could, and I made the supershotgun and rocket marine myself. Enjoy. I tried to credit as many people as possible (credits in the decorate lump in the wad).
I remember seeing a railgun marine in progress, which would be a good addition. Also I'm planning on working on a marine with the UnMaker. Any other suggestions? There are like a million SMGs in WADs, so maybe an SMG guy would be appropriate.

EDIT:
Running the WAD
Spoiler:
Load the wad just like any other wad. Type in the console "Give Helpermarine" the max amount you can have is 25. Make sure you have a key binded to "Use Item" and then press that key and a teleporter should be thrown. A random helper marine should teleport in. Make sure you have an open space or else he won't be able to teleport.
You can also use the summon command (ex: summon plasmariflemarine). You can also XWE or any other DECORATE editor to view the code and look at the names of the marines you can summon, but they're all pretty straightforward.

Just don't forget to credit those that made some of those sprites! ;D
But I've always been put off by the BFG Marine, the front sprite doesnt look like it's being held straight which just looks odd...
Plus it was me that started the Railgun marine ages ago, it was only a one off so I probably won't finish it...maybe if I did it would have been good in Instagib.
I guess the only (minor) gripe is that the rocket marine's appearance doesn't reflect what you see from the first-person view (ie a low, central rocket launcher). However, I think this option looks cool.

When I used to doom regularly, I often loaded a shoulder-mounted RL mod that somebody made for this very reason. How the heck could you fire a real RL from that position (unless your name is Tyne Daly ) ? Wish I could remember what it was called

Yeah, mayhaps I could make one that reflects the 1st person view one though, it'd just look like a rocket rifle, I guess.
