Since Hasbro has revealed the CLAW with Air Pilot, I thought it would be interesting (and easy) to create a Crimson Guard Pilot. This is easily made by swapping some parts with the new Wave 5 comic pack Cobra Commander. I painted the silver on the shoulder flaps and belt gold. The little bit of silver on the helmet needs a touch of gold also. This keeps it uniform, as you rarely see a real serviceman or police officer that wears both silver and gold accessories.

I don't like it. The red backpack and head look silly on the blue body.

The colors do clash a bit. Is he from the comic? Is the color scheme the same? A completely blue, "Blueberry" Guard would be cool, though.

I could see the inspiration. but aren't the CCG's lawyers, and people of importance? and people in places where they can sway political and financial views and ideas?
why put them in a cockpit? The figure is okay. But it's clashy in it's color scheme and it's ideology. I could see them being white and red, and flying a private jet perhaps. |

It does clash, maybe a touch of blue paint on the helmet and backpack would help a little. maybe on the mask or visor

That's because the new viper and air trooper stuff makes sense.

I am guessing the upcoming Python Patrol CG will have a black backpack, which I will then be using on this figure. If the helmet is also black (like the O.G. CG), then I will be putting that on this figure as well. I'm not sure what it will be at that point, other than a cool looking blue CG.
