So the Badger came out in 1991. It was a cool looking design, but saddled with bright green and blue that belonged more with Cobra.
Then two years later, you got the Crimson Cruiser from the same mold. A nice maroon sadly offset with the most neon orange EVER.

So I did the only logical thing. I took the good maroon parts and the good blue parts from the mold and slapped them together:

Big bonus in that the 97 Viper matches it nicely, giving me an instant vehicle driver!

It's obviously not finished... I'm missing some parts of the Badger, namely a missile and the antenna. Also need to give it some Cobra faction stickers.



And with the leftovers, there was only one recourse.
Big Brawler's personal brawling machine, the Eyesore ATV!

Missing the front grill, sadly...

The Viper's vehicle looks interesting. I like when drivers match their vehicles.

You've done the impossible and created a vehicle Big Brawler enough for Big Brawler.

The Cobra ATV really works. This is an interesting way of customizing.

Aye aye, cap'n!


Although I'll have to acquire the parts I'm missing to complete them too, before I submit them.

The Cobra ATV also needs a good name. I'm open to suggestions.

Very creative parts swap, and you couldn't have picked a better driver for the eyesore!

I thought the same thing. The Eyesore compliments the Septic Tank perfectly.
