Air Trooper Opinion

hamilcar · 06-22-2008, 07:19 PM

i really like the Air Trooper. i think the mask and webgear look great, and that they are a nice addition to the cobra trooper ranks. i decided to army build them, so i have 18.

Thats my exact opinion too, I like Air Troopers. I'm hoping Wave 10 Cobra Bazooka Trooper is a slightly different "blueshirt" with new weapons. I would be cool with the Cobra Para-Viper being also an extension of the Cobra Trooper.

As long as it is the 25th style body then he is officially part of my cobra Army... Unlike the Rowdy Roddy Pipper, who has a 25th logo (from what I hear) but is the old style Joe body-he isn't included in my Joe-verse... It's all about the body style for me

I prefer Cobra Troops over Vipers, and like to sub-divide them into catagories.
Red logo means regular grunt, silver logo is base security, grey webbing (TRU version) means he's an NCO, while the DVD pack version will get the Baroness' backpack and become a 'battlefield engineer'.

This is far preferable (for me, anyway) than everyone having totally different uniforms and as such, the Air Troopers fit in perfectly.

I only have five - but love the fig. I'd probably have more if not for buying the flames for the jet packs off e-bay.

It's a great figure. Fills the "ranks" nicely. A welcome addition to my Cobra Army.

Of course! My army of them are awesome!

The extra helmet and weapon did it for me. Plus with jet pack Duke and now Stalker - they have their perfect adversaries!

Well I have to voice a contrary opinion. I don't really care for the air trooper myself. I like that they put the figure into the 5-pack because, the way I see it, it gave me a 2nd blueshirt in the pack. I see him as a Cobra Officer with accessories. I prefer to use the jet pack with other figures and leave the mask on the side. He resides with my Scarface(s), and the Cobra Trooper to make up the blueshirt ranks.
