I originally had this idea a while back but put it off cause I thought painting was going to be involved but after seeing LBC Cobra Air Trooper - superawesome! and saw how easy the leg swap is I went ahead with it and here are the results.....(without paint)
I was trying to make the Cobra Trooper from the first Cobra box set.... I used an Air Trooper and a wave 2 Trooper (with hole in back !) seen here as Hasbro makes them: And VOILA ! .... Just switch the legs, vest/belt & head.... Instant Red symbol Trooper (I just have to paint his neck flat black...heh, red neck Trooper !) AND since the Air Trooper is "Elite" the silver symbol suits him much better: Here are some other variations you can make just by switching parts from Air Trooper with wave 2 Trooper.... Have fun & build them troops up ! ! ! .... COBRAAAA ! ! !

I was able to get 5 troopers (Cobra soldiers anyway) from one Legions pack.
Stinger Driver. Left alone. Officer. (Took the webbing and the second helmet from the air trooper and put it on the regular trooper.) Special black trooper. I'm using him as my HISS driver. (Air trooper's head on black CCs body.) Air Trooper. (I took CC's head, turned it around on Air Trooper's neck peg and the helmet fits snug. Gave him the Trooper's webbing.) Custom trooper using Storm Shadow's parts and the left over trooper's helmet. I need to paint SS's head all red and perhaps use a Hooded CC's body. Or paint SS and the helmet all red for a weird red trooper. We'll see.

If you have the Stinger Driver, you should put his webbing on the Black Air Trooper. Maybe its just me but the officer style webbing just looks better on the Air Troops.

The only thing that may look outta place would be the red shoulders... but that shouldn't be hard to take care of.
