For me - handle up, since the targeting system is fed through the cable, no need to look through an optical device mounted on the launcher, as with most handheld launchers.
I've seen the backpack mounted 2 different ways as well, one with the exhaust tubes over the shoulder, the other with the exhaust tubes near the waist. Looks like not even Hasbro knew which way was correct for the launcher... Last edited by Sniper Viper; 03-29-2017 at 07:10 PM.. |

Not sure about on the new HEAT Vipers, but on the side of the BFG, there's a "FANG II" marking. I always kept them handle up as the FANG commentary is facing the right way.

That's not necessarily Hasbro not knowing but rather the artist for that comic not realizing how it is held.

Handle up...handle down....NO! I cannot get into another debate over an issue which should be clearly evident by the card art design.
I will not get into this debate, as I am still arguing the proper loading of the toilet paper roll in the bathroom with my wife.

Someone post a pic of him with the cannon, handle up, in the left hand so the back is supported by the exhaust tubes. I'm not crazy! It works! In all seriousness, as a child, this just made sense to me, because that thing had to be HEAVY.

Box art and blue prints pretty clearly show them angled out.

Yeah but then we'd have to contend with left handed figures. Ewww
