I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I was browsing through the cancelled portion of the database and was looking at the pilot figure for the ROC VTOL Howler...
I noticed he's got the same arms and legs (possibly body under that vest or air hose thingy) of the 5 POA Retaliation Cobra Commander. Was this Howler pilot ever named? Duke? Also it makes me feel like a fully articulated body might be tooled up and could be used sometime in the future. (wishful thinking.) Despite being 5 POA, that Cobra Commander is a nicely detailed figure.

I do believe that when Hasbro showed us those at Con, they said Duke was the proposed pilot. That is a good eye noticing the arms and legs. Unfortunatly.. that figure is a mock up and I don't think there were actually any molds made for it, the same goes for the Swamp Viper? Whatever 5 poa figure that came with the retaliation water moccasin. If you look in the vault pics when they had all of the zombie and ninja figures.. that figure is one of the figures in the case, but with full articulation. I wish we would have actually gotten that figure.. as well as that new Clutch that is also in that case.

Stupid 5 POA. Commander Swamp blue vamp driver even the tread ripper driver had nice sculpting. Such a waste.

The figure looks awesome, but I'd like to have seen that VTOL released.

Good eyes! I hadn't noticed that at all. I think Hasbro said the Howler pilot was supposed to be Payload, actually.
