Are there any specialized Vipers or groups in cobra (or versions/colorations there of) that you guys just refuse to make part of your Joe verse because
1) their filecards made them seem pointless/stupid etc 2) they just look god-aweful as figures 3) other troopers already exist for their specialty explain your reasons sighting filecards and/or comics. Mine would be the Neo-Viper Core. They are officers equivilant according to their rank and their file cards are so vague as to exactly what they do and they just seem to be glorified Vipers making them seem like basic infantry troopers. (I use everybody except BIO and Monstro-Vipers) |

Mine would be the Neo-Viper Core. They are officers equivilant according to their rank and their file cards are so vague as to exactly what they do and they just seem to be glorified Vipers making them seem like basic infantry troopers. If they did I'd probably use the COIL as a splinter group. Group that broke off from Cobra and trying to do their own thing. Much like the comic, but not on the scale. That would give a 3rd faction for the Joes to contend with and another group for the IGs and Cobras to fight with and sometimes work with (although Cobra and Coil would not work together ever). Neo-Vipers would be failed experiment and not many of 'em left so they'd be ceremonial cards for CC and other top Cobras. But figures (even if owned) that I refuse to use? Range-Vipers I have never liked these guys. For wilderness troopers, the color scheme is WAY off. The Collector's Club M.O.T.H. version is much much better. But the skull mask and "exposed brains" look really kill the figure for me. The gear and the look just don't go for a wilderness trooper. The Collector's Club Jungle Viper is so much better.

What's interesting about the original Cobra Officer is that, I believe the first file card says something about Cobra Officers being believed to be working undercover in power plants and things like that. Which seems like a job out of the realm of an ordinary foot soldier, even an officer. It's almost more in line with what would become the Crimson Guard's responsibility. |

They were created before the CGs were even thought of.

Right I realize that. That's actually my point, though. It seems like the intent for the original Cobra Officer was something more than just a leader of front-line grunts. But the idea was changed a little and infiltration and espionage became the job of the CGs.

Here's a question: How/where will the Resolute Troopers (and in the near future: movie cobras) fit into your scheme of things?

No Military Usages? How about the Immortals and the Crimson Guard Commanders?

Fall in line behind the others. I don't view them as any more special. |
