Continuing my Reign of the Serpent "Serpentor won the war and now controls the United States" omni-project...

---------------------------------------
Excerpt from field report
To: Tomax and Xamot
From: Guardsman Faces, stationed undercover in the Congo

"They're calling themselves the Coil these days. Cobra Commander, if we're even bothering calling him that anymore, just can't let go of the whole snake thing. Of course, as we know, the real Cobra Commander died sometime before the Cobra Island Civil War broke out. It's fairly common knowledge these days even among the Coil members that the current 'Commander' is an overly ambitious former guardsman designated Fred VII. I've been tracking this slimeball all over the damn world, ever since he managed to slither off of Cobra Island just before his forces surrendered. He seems to have set up a permanent base camp here in the Congo. I don't know what he's planning, but it's something big. And before you ask, there's no way in hell I'll ever be able to get close enough to him to eliminate him. The guy's paranoid. I mean seriously paranoid. He's got a new suit of armor, too. He calls it the Serpent Slayer Armor. He looks like a damn spaceman in it. He makes no qualms about the fact that he designed it for one purpose; surviving a one-on-one battle with our Emperor."

------------------------------------------------
Excerpt from the personal log of Fred VII

"Spies are everywhere. I must remain vigilant at all times. At least my Serpent Slayer armor is complete. I know the men think it's a waste of resources, but I honestly don't care. Serpentor isn't going to rest until one of us it dead by the other's hand. I shamed him by escaping and denying him a full victory on Cobra Island. Well, if the King Snake wants a fight, he'll get it. The Serpent Slayer suit is three times as durable as my old armor, as well as lighter, and more flexible. The jetpack could still use some work, but at least it's functioning. The energy projectors in the hands and the radial EMP pulse detonator are the important parts, and those are both working perfectly. I almost look forward to when I finally get to see the 'emperor' again...."
-----------------------------------------------------

And if you sat through all of that...

Fred VII:
Head: JvC Ace
Main body: SHS Ironman
Shoulder armor: Spytroops armor section
Leg pads: JvC Lady Jaye baroness disguise
Helmet: JvC Barrel Roll
Cables: Heavy Water
Rockets: VvV Frostbite snowboard

Really looks nice. A nice integration of SpyTroops armor onto the Iron Man armor.

Any particular reason you didn't use the comic pack Fred VII head?

Very cool idea. The bio is awesome, with great characterization...really gives a good feel to your custom.

I've never been a big fan of the SHS Iron Man...and I think my dislike of the figure ingeneral carries through to your custom...just somthing about that figure as a base bothers me... especially when you're using the body for the same general idea.

Is there any reason you didn't go with the Fred VII head from the comic packs?

The only other thing I'd add, might be some Breather/Explosive tubes to the helmet...just to give it that little hommage to the orginal battle armor's helmet.

The figure is good, but add me o the why no comic Fred head group?

The bio is one of the best I've read in a while. It totally captures the character and makes the wcustom work stand out all that much more.

No comic pack fred head because...

a) I only have one comic pack Fred, and I like the figure
b) The Barrel Roll helmet doesn't fit well over the head
c) the comic pack Fred head looks too large on the Ironman body
d) the comic pack Fred Helmet looks too large for the body

Take your pick.
