Dino-Viper
Cobra Dinosaur Hunter
Four years ago, a tremor from the extinct volcano on Cobra
Island unleashed a group of dinosaurs on the island. G.I. Joe sent in their
two-man Dino-Hunters team, Ambush and Low-Light, to round them up before
Cobra could use them. Now, a second, more recent tremor unleashed even
more dinosaurs, and Cobra was determined to get to them first. They took
a patrol of regular Cobra Vipers, altered their outfits to better blend
in with the jungle environment, and gave them some basic dinosaur hunting
training -- mostly by showing them "Jurassic Park" and "Lost World" and
emphasizing the hunting scenes in the latter. The results were disastrous,
and at this point, only one Dino-Viper is known to have survived, and he
has actually teamed up with Ambush and Low-Light for the duration it takes
to subdue this newest influx of dinosaurs.
(Personal note: This is just a basic Cobra Viper (in this particular
case, the Python Patrol versoin) with a major repaint. Really, any of the
basic Cobra Viper variants would work. To me, the original Cobra Viper
(NOT the 1994 version) is the perfect basic Cobra trooper, and I wouldn't've
minded seeing more versions of him. So I decided to make one, not long
after seeing "Lost World" myself. I could make more than one, I suppose,
but I'd need the Vipers to do it with, and generally when I find Vipers
these days, I tend to keep them in their respective units. It's a future
possibility though. He wasn't that hard and didn't need any extra sculpting
or anything.) |
