Well one of my favorite cobra vehicles was the Cobra Parasite. Was it perfect? No. But it was one of the few transport vehicles that Cobra had. Actually the only other one was the Hiss Mk-II, which was nice, but still not a true troop transport. Well I decided to try to perfect what Hasbro started with.
My base, a used, beat up Parasite that I picked up on e-bay. It was damaged, but I didn't care, it was going to go under the knife anyway. Now one thing that always bugged me about the original was that the passengers were well protected by armor, but yet the driver sat out in the great wide open where one sniper could take out the whole group. Well I had a junker Hiss laying around and it came to me, why not fuse the head of the Hiss to the body of the Parasite. This will give the driver true protection and a way to actually drive the thing, plus it gives him controls for the mini-gun in the back. I happened to come accross the coolest stuff in the world, J-B Stick Weld. It is basically play-dough that you mix to gether to activate and it fuses stuff to gether, once dry, it can be sanded, drilled, painted, ect. Sense I tend to scrounge and reuse parts, well I chopped up the damaged undercanon of the Parasite, and glued it on the side of the Hiss to give the Mk-II a little punch on the battlefield. I used stickers for a Hiss are courtesy of Andrew creations from a couple years ago. Enought talking, let me present to you, the Parasite Mk-II. Ingrediants- Parasite body Hiss Head Krylon Fusion Cobra Blue Krylon Fusion Camo Black J-B Stick Weld Red transparent paint (for the canopy) Bio- With the increase need for fast, reliable troop transport, that can get in and out fast, take out light threats and go practically anywhere. Destro and the techno-vipers went to work. The Hiss command module is tried and true and with some modifications, mounted nicely on the parasite frame. They also added twin 30mm cannons to give it punch-through power that would eat threw most light armor vehicles. They also up'd the horsepower by adding twin turbos so now it has a top speed of 130mph on concrete, 75mph cross country. They added themal night imaging to the mini-gun in the back where the driver can control 360 fire support for deploying and retrieving troops. Also the driver has a full heads up display of enviromental conditions, FFL (Friend or Foe Location), speed, rpm, temp, navigation, FLIR, and other vital info.

Well sense I created a new vehicle, I thought, well might as well create a new driver, let me present, Deadbeat.
Ingrediants- Airtight Head, left leg. Skidmark chest Lightfoot arms, crotch, right leg I was going to use both of Lightfoots legs, but I could not get his left leg apart to paint. (cuss) so he does not quite stand right. :/ Bio- Deadbeat Cobra Parasite Mk-II driver Deadbeat lives up to his name, Originally he was a race car driver with a bright future, but he had a bad habbit with gambling, which resulted him walking out on his wife and kids several years ago, along with the rest of his responsibilities. He became consumed with gambling, especially black jack, and when things did not go his way, he would jet out of town. He took up drug running to help support his habbit, but he would have the bad habbit of just keeping the stuff for himself. It reached the point that his reputation went faster than his driving. With no other prospects of job opportunities, he joined Cobra, and with his great driving skill and reputation, Cobra Commander gladly took him, with one condition, he would have a micro-explosive installed in him in case he decides to live up to his name. So far this has kept him in line.
