1995 Stargate All-Terrain Cruiser body, engine cover, and wheels
2001 A.W.E. Striker engine
2008 [Desert] A.W.E. Striker chassis
2010 A.W.E. Striker roll cage, antennae, suspension, bumper/headlight assembly, dashboard, steering wheel, targeting camera, and 70mm cannon

Decals: a hodge-podge, applied from Hasbro's 2001 and 2008 A.W.E. Striker label sheets, plus Cobrastickers's 1985 and 2001 A.W.E. Striker label sheet sets.

Inspired by Raptor's "Desert Striker", I decided to build my own version of an A.W.E. Striker in desert camouflage. I figured that a realistic desert A.W.E. Striker (in the Afghan era) would have as many parts of the vehicle as possible painted to match the environment, not just the body, so I sought to include as many tan-colored parts (in spite of their color variations) to the vehicle as I could. No paint was applied to any of the vehicle's parts.
Were it not for the number of A.W.E. Striker variations used to build this vehicle (not to mention the Cobrastickers ordered for this project), it could ALMOST be called a "low-budget" custom.
During construction, I was tempted to use various color variations on the antennae and other parts, as well as toying around with the idea of using the Stargate cruiser's working missile launcher, but ultimately decided on the 2010's olive-colored 70mm gun.
I chose to use the 2008 chassis because it allowed me to still have ARAH figures drive, but because of the added leg room, I can easily accommodate 25A/30A/50A figures. (The Stargate body means ARAH figures like Repeater v1 and Grunt v2 are able to still provide support fire.)
As for my choice of driver, I decided to use my personal favorite, Skidmark, whom already is a desert environment driver. In the future, I'd like to see him customized with a Desert Storm (or Enduring Freedom/ACU) color scheme. (Because of the vehicle's base color, Crankcase v1 still looks great behind the wheel too!)

Thanks goes out to ToyHax (Cobrasticker's new parent company) for making the awesome backdrop I used in my photos.
