... Firefly is how he should be - Grey camo with attitude. The shotgun is definitely the saboteur's weapon of choice.
MonkeyWrench and RoadPig rock. The updates totally work.
Nice work on the Symbols too.
Thanks!

Wasn't thinking about Mohawk Zartan when I was making the image, but you're right, there is a "canon" precedent for that particular colour make-up.
New stuff:
Thrasher & Dr. Venom
Design notes:
I initially had Thrasher kitted out in lacrosse pads (to go with his lacrosse stick weapon), but it just didn't look right to me in terms of his specialty as the Dreadnoks' vehicle specialist. Instead, I dressed him in motocross biker gear. I'm not particularly fond of the original's "Mad Max" look, but I stuck to it because he's one of those characters who isn't really very identifiable... without his Thunder Machine behind him, Thrasher
sans
the 1980s neo-barbarian aesthetic just isn't Thrasher.
I initially wanted to discard Dr. Venom from Cobra's roster... with Dr. Mindbender aboard, he seemed redundant. I finagled a way to get him on Cobra's payroll anyway (I've got him as a neurimaging/neuroscience consultant with the MARS division of the company). Nothing to explain here design-wise, just a somewhat creepy looking doctor (I think he looks like a fairly accurate real-world representation of the comic book character, for whatever that's worth).
