I like Kickback. Yeah, he's weird, but he's cool, and if Hasbro made him, I'm pretty sure he'd be a hit with kids.

Also like the continued use of the special Cobra BAT emblem.

That mech is a thing of beauty!

Question: why not continue with the yellow & black SWARM theme?

Thanks! We considered having Glitch match the troops. In the end we wanted to have Glitch in his v1 colors to keep him recognizable. The black and silver tie him in with the SWARM and the blue sets him apart as the boss.

Plus, Blue Lasers Forever!

I really dig your Glitch character. I love the look.

Really mad I skipped on those Avengers mechs when they were around, this is a great example of what can be done with them. Two minor crits on Glitch's mech. One is the Hulkbuster-style face is a little too recognizable, would've liked something to make it look a little different. Maybe a BAT or SNAKE style face plate, or even making the two eyes into one "cyclon-slit". Second, being linked to the SWARM, I'm okay with a different color palette, but I'd have liked to see some antennae or something on the head to bring it more in line with the SWARM style, and even Glitch's bug-influenced appearance. Something like the Data-Viper drone wings as "ears". But honestly, as is, it's a thing of beauty and matches Glitch wonderfully. Hasbro's attempts at mechs have been welcome, but come out pretty clumsy. This think looks both sleek and powerful. The paint is flawless, would love to hear about the type and technique of paints used here. The Cobra Commander quote on the filecard is excellent, wonderfully illustrates what makes COBRA so dangerous.

I'm sad we're getting close to the end of the month!

The SWARM unleashes a payload of heavy artillery on the Joes as they make their way farther into the town Gold Springs!

The drones are really cool, I especially dig the plane the black bombs are a nice touch as it has enough colour already. If you want to paint them I'd go with the yellow. Nice job on the yellow by the way I know that's not an easy colour to paint. Great Job.

Watch out SWARM the Joes are coming at you with bee spray and an epi pen...lol...so far everything I have seen has been awesome. I love it!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I had fun making this set, but honestly, the two other vehicles of mine that are yet to come I like even better. And OB and Bucky both have awesome stuff to come as well. We are getting into the week long grand finale stage of the project.
