Para-Vipers was the most obviously missed at the beginning. Jungle Vipers too. Because they came out with some terrible ones. Although I like most except Bio-Viper, Monstro-Viper, and the shadow-Viper. But I never understood that weapon choice either. I never pretended they were snipers.

i like how the original viper filecards mention that their weapon is basically an all in one rifle: sniper or assault and what not. Makes them pretty versatile no?
I want Hasbro to keep doing things like the para viper and the bazooka trooper. some don't like it but I think it's great.

I agree. Pava-Viper is just an amazing figure. And the Bazooka Trooper fills a good need in non-Viper corps.

Couldn't agree more. We were missing those for so long. back in the day I believe it was Sears had an exclusive 5 pack or 3 packin their christmas catalog. It had an officer a cobra soldier and then another cobra soldier with a Short-fuze's mortar and another one with Zap's Bazooka, and one I think with Rock'n'roll's machine gun. I have no Idea if they got separate cards or not. You basically had the choice of the Cobra pack or the Joe pack with Snake-Eyes, Stalker, Rock'n'Roll, Flash and one more.
So you see they tried to make that Bazooka trooper before. He should have always fit in. What other vipers are missing besides a sniper-viper? I would say they need to improve the Air-Viper, to represent the one that flew the helicopters. We have Avac, but if they are Advance class we need one that works as the regular Air-Viper. I can't count the Convention one. He's not right. They could also use an Artillery-Viper, like Ammo-viper or Shells-Viper? Ballistic-Viper? Gunner-Viper? Cannon-Viper? |

Marine FAC would work.
Barrell Roll's cards have him as a High Altitude Marksman, no reference to branch or training. Primary is Markmanship Instructor, Secondary is Fixed Wing Pilot. His DTC figure is just Marksman and is Markmanship INstructor and Pilot. Bombstrike's card has her as a Forward Air Controller. Primary is Forward Air Controller and Secondary is Intelligence. No mention of branch or qualifications. Black-Out's card just says he's a sniper. No mention of branch or qualifications. I think the DDP Databooks, or whatever they were called, had more information. But somewhere it mentions the Stalls being a military family with a long tradition of it. We've always tried to place them in the Army or Air Force. But what about the Marines? The Marines could work, but how would Bombstrike fit into that? Barrell Roll could be a Marine FAC (that would explain how he's a fighter pilot, former Naval aviator). Black-Out is a former Marine sniper. But Bombstrike...

The problem though is that Barrell Roll's "job" is not Air Force. That's where the confusion comes in.
