They make sense????? That Viper looks like something my unborn child would put together......it looks like crap.....but I guess if hasbro puts in in a box and calls it GI Joe it doesnt matter. That is why you will always get repaints because they know youll buy them.........like mindless Zombies looking for Brains......

I think what they are trying to say is that the air viper and viper make sense as pilots. The CG is "supposed" to be an undercover type. A pilot CG makes as much sense as a dessert CG, which Hasbro is making if you remember.
Personally I do not like the combo of the blue and red, but this custom is no worse than some of Hasbro's attempts, so cut the guy some slack. I'd recommend painting his helmet blue to match. He could be a Crimson Guard cadet. In the cartoon. there was a CG cadet in a blue uniform like that. |

What if he just had the gold-faceplate from the TRU 3-pack? Those things are warming shelves near me, and are the cost of 2 single-carded figures... You could use the CC as a Crimson trooper commander! haha.
I like it, it makes as much sense in the realm of things Hasbro has released so far, or are releasing soon. The helmet does clash a bit, it should be a different color. Could you just use the cobra air trooper helmet? Or mod the faceplate? The CG helmet needs something else "air trooper" ish, like the breathing apparatus or something. Or just a blue CG helmet? I'm just offering some solutions that could improve it slightly, but it's your custom, and kudos for doing it. I hate it when people are too critical of others work. It's a toy, come on. Nice job. |

"When you go into battle, you want to clash."
I think it works alright. Why can't CGs have their own pilots? |

solution to the perceived clash: use an air trooper helmet on the CG painted red, and add red stripes to the "CG" ala CLAW pilot, then the only people that will have a problem will be the ones who DONT like the CLAW pilot...i for one love the color combo on the CLAW pilot, looks very jumper style to me...

I'm assuming Hasbro will follow the same color scheme as the original PP CG, if I am wrong then this idea might not pan out.
