For pics, go here (7 pics, the ones with the rifle and pack are pretty much his final form):
Cobra Space TrooperI created this figure a couple of weeks ago--a super-simple LBC, the only paint work being some metallic gold to touch up marks on his visor. He sat around until I figured out where to get a Cobra sticker for him (a Venom Striker laying in my parts drawer did the job.) Then I had to figure out what he'd be...in the end, I decided he'd make an excellent Cobra Space Trooper. Oh, and he's not blue and red, but purple and red. For some reason my camera refuses to show it properly.
But he needs a name. Star Viper, Astro-Viper are already taken; I've got some ideas but I'd like to hear what everyone else has to offer. What do you get? Well, credit for coming up with the name, of course!
Can't offer much more than that.
Parts list:
Head: T.A.R.G.A.T. V2 (Star Brigade)
Rest: Dragonsky
Backpack: various Joe/Cobra figures (not sure)
Laser Rifle: Comic Pack Gas Mask Cobra Trooper
Laser Pistol: Star Wars
The <insert name here> are Cobra's main infantry troops in space station and lunar environments, equipped with lightweight space suits that are a combination of space-age materials and Kevlar to prevent easily being torn by projectile weapons, each of which contains a built-in twenty minute air supply should they be exposed to vaccum (up to two hours of air is stored in the detachable backpacks they wear, which also adapt to hold tools and spare power cartridges for their laser rifles). Their helmets contain a 360 degree HUD with infra-red and night vision capability; the HUD is linked to their weapons, providing almost instant aiming. A blast visor protects them from explosive bursts and flash grenades while the HUD allows them to continue to see, even with the visor in place.
