I was inspired by meandnooneelse's "Cobra Commander in Battle Gear" and his idea that Cobra Commander should be a total bad-ass and ready at all times to lead his men in the field.
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...nooneelse.html I feel this way as well, so in response, here is my own version of a bad-ass, heavy combat-ready Cobra Commander. Head: Resolute Cobra Commander, RoC Rex Lewis Torso/Arms: PoC Alley Viper Officer Upper Legs: Retaliation Firefly Lower Legs: Resolute 5-pack Duke Vest: Retaliation GI Joe Trooper Backpack: Beats the shit out of me As you can see, Cobra Commander is set for the harshest battle conditions on Earth. He's wearing a specially re-enforced version of his mirrored battle mask, sans helmet to provide a greater range of vision without any blind spots, while not losing any protection to the head from bullets or explosives. The heavy-duty breathing apparatus mounted on the mask shields against any bio or gas attack. Foregoing his usual regal attire for practical warfare, his entire body is armored with a subdued gray color scheme (ideal for urban combat), and as you can see, it's riddled with weaponry, including deadly combat knives mounted on his wrist and waist, high-caliber sidearms on his thighs, and twin machine-cannons with under-mounted rapid-fire grenade launchers. Cobra Commander is now one baaaad motherfu- (shut yo mouth!) but I'm talking about Cobra Commander (then we can dig it!). Anyway, let me know what you think of my figure, and my ghetto Microsoft Paint skills (I was out and didn't have access to Photoshop, lol.). *NOTE* I need to touch up the black paint in CC's left knee, as I had to sand down the Firefly upper legs to get them to fit onto Duke's lower legs.

Nice. I'm not sure it screams CC, but it's awesome. Just my opinion.

I did try out his black Resolute helmet, but it didn't look quite right. Again, I welcome any comments or suggestions.

CC take matters into his own hands? I see this as a total last resort, like CC gets locked in his own armory, and the Joes are on the way! THEN I could see him getting armed up like this.
When I think of an armored-up CC, I think back to # 149-150 of the comic where he got the armor he could wear beneath his standard hooded outfit. Id like to see a figure of that some day!

It really doesn´t scream traditional CC to me ... but that is irrelevant ...because I love the figure you made. He reminds me a good bit of the 2002 Convention Swamp Viper. I would buy it.

Very cool - he works as a B.A.M.F Cobra Commander or a totally new character/troop!
