I don't have problems with the non military more fiction/fantasy of the GI-Joe line, I enjoy it in fact. My only problem with the original figure is the lack of any kind of real offensive hability ... so that's what I tried to add to my version. As usual the colors are inpired in the original as many other details ... like the red and black eyes that came from Raptor's falcon-helmet eyes.
I didn't agree with the idea of no propulsion unit (albeit unrealistic), so I added the jetpack to the wings. This is the descripition that went into the Plastic Mongers Contest .. Raptor had his degree in aeronautical engineering revoked when in his first internship he was considered guilty of sexual harassment. From there he lived a short life as an accountant until he find his way into Cobra. He became the Commander of the Cobra Air-Troopers division and developed a more efficient jet pack with articulated wings that will allow for longer flights and better maneuverability. He also equiped himself with modified "Wrist-Uzis" and has a trained peregrin Falcon, called Hell Talon, with which he likes to fly to learn how to better to use air currents. |

That's pretty darn cool. I like the bio you made up.
Is Hell Talon a repainted Freedom?
