Ok, that Cobra Guard is like the most awesome 50th update for a "Comic" version of the Cobra Trooper I have ever seen!

I LOVE the original generic Cobra Officer/Troopers. I prefer the original designs over any other designs Hasbro came out with. I'm just gonna fess up now and tell you that I am definitely gonna borrow i.e. rip-off some of these custom ideas, if I can find some more DG/POC figures at a decent price.

Fantastic customs! Can't wait to see more close-ups!

Cobra Officer: A tweak of the traditional Hasbro Cobra Officer, and a nod to Lt. Clay Moore from the cartoons. I played up the silver to make up for staying with red cobra chest symbol, which then matches with everyone else—especially the Commander. I tell myself this. I tell myself that I don’t need the SDCC Missile Command Center…

Recipe: 2014 Cobra Trooper (for the gold shoulder insignia), with typical Cobra Officer webgear. Added the helmet V symbol with figure package bubble plastic. Head from 2011 Steel Brigade (inspired by Image Comics and the 2008 DTC Cobra Officer). Goggles from ? Painted rifle, webgear, straps, mask, arm and knee pads with Citadel Leadbelcher. Large Dragunov rifle from 2011 Winter Soldier with Jet Pack (Captain America comic series). Backpack from 2007 General Hawk (or same mold from different figure).

Cobra Comm Officer: This guy started out as an analogue to Breaker (the anti-Breaker), built as a slightly repainted Cobra trooper figure with Breaker’s headgear. Then I started tweaking him over the years, and he became that Cobra guy with the headset at Cobra Base, seen in the comics (#1, #4) but without the red mask. He’s not quite the proto Tele-Viper, as these guys stay off the battlefield and stay on base or in the trucks.

Recipe: 2013 DG Cobra Trooper figure, with 2011 Renegades Duke lower legs/feet. Repainted with Citadel Kantor Blue, Testors Flat Black, and Citadel Leadbelcher. Thigh gun and holster replaced with knife and sheath from the boot. Headset from 2013 Eaglehawk, and Skorpion machine pistol from loose seller.

This would be an awesome set. I'm not a fan of rpg and heavy gunner having the same webgear but that's a very minor nitpick. This is really very cool.

Hasbro could make easy 💰💴💵💵💸💶💳 They would probably shorten it to 7 but if they leave Commander out and give extra gear to give 2 looks to troopers people would buy at least 2 sets. Hell they could gear up both looks and have alt packing so moc collectors would buy both.

Now THAT'S an impressive set!
The parts, the paint, the accessories, everything just fits perfectly…
Welcome to the tank bro.

Well, for Commander, there is a repaint that could sell...

Cobra Commander: Since I didn’t alter the original 2013 Hasbro release at all, he gets a photo shoot with my repainted hooded version, repainted with Citadel Kantor Blue and ?? Gold.

These are some really great customs!

I love all the subtle details that you changed to really bring the whole figures to a new level.
