Head, goggles, vest: 25th Cobra Viper
Torso, arms, legs: 25th TF Flint


In 2008, when the 25th anniversary line was in full swing, Hasbro released the first 7-packs. These two sets had Cobra troops repainted into desert and arctic colors. I liked the idea and concept quite a bit even if some of the figures were not as well executed (but I digress). I would have liked the series to continue with other environments like jungle, aquatic, etc.

To help fill this void, I created my own Cobra urban assault squad. It consisted of 7 figures: Chem-Viper, HISS Driver, HISS Gunner, Cobra Officer, Crimson Guard, Cobra Viper and Firefly (25th Comic Pack version). I created this Viper from a Tiger Force Flint at the time because I did not have any Viper parts in my fodder. I use him more as a specific character than a troop builder.
