Does anyone consider him an army builder? I love the whole python army but then there's copperhead. Why didn't they use lamprey?

I remember seeing a dio-story or website, years ago, where the author did just that. I thought it was pretty clever.

He was always the Python patrol commander for me.

Python Officer is in charge, only one with a logo and he doesn't change his backstory like Copperhead. Leadership schooling made him a "slithering mastermind" vs some guy who owes Cobra money and drives an air boat.
Unless you watched Operation Dragonfire, then it's Copperhead. I wonder why they chose the figures they did for Python Patrol, but that info will remain a mystery. |

But several sub-teams have odd choices. Marauders Why put a frickin firefighter, an infantry troop, K9 handler, sniper and scout in an armoured unit? Or, if you ignore the vehicles, just why put a firefighter in there? Tiger Force Why, if they're jungle warfare have they got the JW guy flying the helo, got an arctic half-track and its driver on the ground and why have a desert warfare guy? Special Mission Brazil Why Wet-Suit? Why Mainframe? Night Force Why the hell is Lowlight the night spotter not in ANY version of the team? |

The 86 files read oddly.
Frankly I think this makes the best sense if...Python Patrol is just a 6 man special unit where Copperhead simply chose the best candidates from each discipline for their first mission. And from there subsequent missions more of the generic troopers were added to expand. With its success a year later Trigger and Lightning were added. By 2003...the unit had a mission that required other talents or maybe multiple missions...Major Bludd was tapped to pick out a team suited for that...hence the addition of new troopers. The VvsV style uniforms were just uniform updates. Maybe to appease Dr. Mindbender since he was added. And in 2011 the mission required driver and multiple Tele-Vipers who needed a specific officer to oversee them...hence the addition of the Motor-Viper and Tele-Viper Officer. And then at some point...Croc-Master was needed. |

Croc Master was never officially a member, what with Hasbro being too lazy to alter some file card text or put the PP logo on a package. Nor were Mindbender, VvsV Viper and Tele-Viper "Even though the figures had a similar paint scheme to other Python Patrol figures, there was no mention of Python Patrol anywhere on the package." as yojoe.com puts it.

Why the hell is Lowlight the night spotter not in ANY version of the team? Now for 2004's NFTeam Set...no excuse. Even sadder is that Hasbro had BOTH vintage Low-Light molds available. Last edited by Sean_C; 06-28-2020 at 03:21 PM.. |
