OK, so I was digging through my fodder bin, throwing parts together and came up with this guy, but I don't know what to do with him. I liked the Viper head on him, but he needed something more, so I cut up the lower part of Reso Destro's jacket to make it like a waist cape.

He's mostly inspired by the ARC Troopers from the Clone Wars (The Gendy Tartakofski version, not the the current CG version) in one of the first segments where the ARC Troopers break off on their own then are shot down. The lead trooper had the dual pistols and the waist cape and he looked pretty cool.

I'm more into making him a named individual than part of some team.

Head: Viper
Body, web gear: MARS Trooper
Belt/holsters/waist cape: Resolute Destro

Lower the head a bit. Otherwise I dig him.

I'm getting a Cobra Trooper that has distinguished himself to the PTB, but he hasn't earned a slot with the Plague. He isn't a Firefly type (special contractor), but he could be...

The look is good, I agree on lowering the head, also possibly raising the destro belt with holsters. It may be the camera angle, but to me it gives the illusion he has short legs or long torso with it hanging low. great job on him.

Other than the neck which has been disucssed, i can see him as Contracted MARS advisor, working with the viper legions on various MARS technologies and tactics.....The Scrap Iron of Small Arms?

Maybe putting a neck scarf from the ROC Desert Viper on him to cover the long neck would help.

I see a guy who was a misfit in civilian life, and continues to be in cobras ranks.

Well since he has been picked on and messed with so much he has decided that its time to take a couple to few personal leaves to show his Cobra brothers and sisters just what this misfit is made of.

He is out to make 3 significant strikes against the Joes, then 3 significant strikes against the US government and 3 significant strikes against just plain civilization/society.

When he returns he is just going to recognize the name 9-Ball, and damn it his cobra brothers and sisters will treat him as an equal beyond peer. (Dont have a clue as to where that name came up it just poped into my head, heck that small backstory/plot came to me in like 30 seconds.)

Lower the head. Add a jacket to match the free-hanging jacket skirt, or just remove the jacket-skirt.
