Weill in short of it, I recently pick up some 2017 Laser Vipers and I cannot put them down! Just intrigue with the overall design and upgrade they got. Close to the original we can get in reality I feel.
Anyway, I am a GI Joe fan and I have taken somewhat hiatus to focus on things and now slowly getting back into as far as picking some FSS and other collectible modern and vintage figures. Referring to the LV's above I just got. After reading the File Card on the Laser Vipers, these guys seen to be very intense with their job and in battle, however these guys are not long range fighters and the equipment that generates the laser beams or blast doesn't go vary far. My question is: How will the Laser Vipers be used in battle? and/or against GI Joe? What environment would they really make a difference in for the Cobra advantage? Would they work great only amongst themselves or with other Vipers? exa...Frag Vipers, HEAT Vipers and Vipers? Not only that, I'm kicking around the ideas of some dioramas for these guys and how they would interact with and other Cobra troopers? I dont know why, but Laser Vipers, HEAT Vipers, Frag Vipers, SAW Vipers and Rock Vipers have had a huge impact on me since I was kid. I dont know if it was the colors they used back then, the BIG weapons they came with or the names they used and what they stood for. Just looking for some feedback on this and tell me what you think? Thanks |

They can fight the sharks with lasers on their heads.

That's how I see them. They may also be great for operating any LASER artillery.

I agree with most of you, but with the size of that backpack, I imagine it has a heavy Weapons aspect potentially. Sort of like the gun Baze Malbus carries in Rogue One?

Therefore, a LASER-VIPER's primary function on the battlefield is "target illumination" for H.E.A.T. VIPERS and AERO-VIPERS. |

I get that, but most laser guidance designators are hardly bigger than a set of binoculars. That backpack has a lot of power. How is Sci-Fi's or Flash's weapons any different?

Maybe they mean illumination in the traditional sense, from all of the poorly aimed Cobra laser fire coming from those backpacks and flying all around the intended targets.
