Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the 1987 Battle Armor Cobra Commander backpack from the re-released version that came out in 2001?

I think they're nearly identical.

I believe the 01 version is slightly darker, however, you would need them side by side to be able to discern any difference.

My question has always been what kind of backpack is that? What was it used for?

I never realized that I always had it on upside down. I thought the point points downwards because the cardart shows the two points sticking up from the shoulders. Didn't realize till I was an adult that the point actually should point up and the points shown on his shoulders on the card art was the actual shoulder pads he had.

No, you were right originally... the point goes downward. I'll get some pics.

I think it was similar to what happened with Blowtorch, it was designed to be one way but looked better the other way. Just look at the shape of the part of the backpack that goes against his back. It's contoured to fit with the point up. The vintage Blowtorch backpack also was contoured to fit with the hose plugging at the top, but in actual fact, it should have been the other way.

Yeah, the vintage can go either way... but I think the card art still shows the backpack, not his shoulder pads... however the figure itself has those big shoulder pads, lol...
The 25th version definitely goes point down...
