Scrap Iron was a cool character, and I absolutely loved Hasbro's new head sculpt with the facial scars and scary eye. However, using the 25th Anniversary COBRA Viper torso with COBRA Trooper arms was underwhelming for me. At first, I was going to use the 50th COBRA Trooper body. However, I think the POC COBRA Shock Trooper body was a better choice to match up the darker navy blue of the original RAH figure. Short-Fuze, get ready to face your rival...
Formula: Gun: One of the Renegades figures Head and accessories: 25th Anniversary Scrap Iron Body: POC COBRA Shock Trooper Also, I kind of went with making the photo a bit darker because under the light the red paint I used for his boots doesn't look it matches up as well with the vest.

Looks good. Wish Hasbro had re-did him with the new POC Shocktrooper body.

Real nice CRS stooping to using darkend pics to hide your shity paint apps. (kidding obviously);). I did pretty much the same thing with my Scrap Iron only I took the lazy way out and skipped the boot painting.

Nice. I used your initial idea and used a W2 DG CT body. I painted the boots and pouches though. The head sat a little too high so had to dremel it out a bit. I like your shock trooper idea though.

Great idea using the darker Shock Trooper as a base. I may have to try that as well...
