COBRA SAND DEVIL The COBRA SAND DEVIL is outfitted with very high tech surveillance gear and heavily armed to deter any threat. With two M.A.R.S. pulse cannons and four smart bombs, this "Devil" can hit from very long range and never be seen. Fashioned to look like a Desert Scorpion, its look can be intimidating if anything: canons for the tail, the front mandibles, and lower teeth. Outfitted with high density armor it can outlast any regular Cobra Hiss in its Class. It’s made to be tough to survive and bring home its soldiers and delicate stolen Information. The drivers name and crew are "Deemed" Top Secret. They assist "CANE" in his training to reach his full Potential. The non-designation number just means it’s even more Top Secret. Parts used: DTC HISS Terminator T-1 Gatling arms Corps Guns from boat Misc. gear from fodder Decals are temp. tattoos Rear Guards are from the new ROC Hummer Painted tan and browns with added detailing to show metal wear |

COBRA VERMIN The VERMIN, still in its developmental stage, should have the Joes shakin' in their boots. Able to conquer any terrain on the map and reach flat out speeds of 210mph, the VERMIN is quite slippery. Let’s not forget the side mounted experimental Rail Gun that packs a heck of a sting. Then there is of course the best part, magnetically riding piggy back is a self sustained drone. Complete with hydraulic claw, air to air and air to ground capable missile launcher, twin mini guns and enough cyber smarts to make even Overkill squirm, this little menace has it all. All in all the Vermin is the kind of vehicle you'd want to be behind the wheel of because being anywhere else could be hazardous to your health. |

G.I. JOE WARLORD The WARLORD, a high-speed jet, has 4 multibarreled cannons: 2 retract into the side engine pods and 2 are rear mounted. The jet itself is GI Joes answer to the NIGHT RAVEN... A high speed, high altitude aircraft that is also heavily armed with 4 multibarreled cannons and inboard-carried missiles. In addition, the cockpit is equipped with foldable wings and its own set of jet engines that turns it into a subsonic minijet capable of flying the pilot to safety. While it can separate from the main body in flight, it is incapable of recoupling with it due to the fact that the cockpit jet is subsonic and the main body is supersonic. However the main body of WARLORD can follow a preprogrammed flight path or be remote controlled from the cockpit jet. It's 24 inches long, and made of black poster board. I used 1 inch sections of drinking straws hot glued together to make the multibarreled cannons.Also, plastic mechanical pencils, repainted, can be used as missiles. |

COBRA SIDEWINDER The SIDEWINDER is an experimental ultra-compact VTOL aircraft that can move incredibly fast at altitudes as low as 20 feet above the surface. In order to stay airborne at such low altitudes, it utilizes extensive computer systems to assist pilot control. However, all the bugs have not been worked out so the vehicle currently tends to slide from side to side in the air especially when hovering. This "side winding" appearance is what gave the vehicle its name. Techno-Viper 1053's log: Currently, the SIDEWINDER is still in the testing phases at a secure hidden location. Test pilot THE COUNTESS was assigned by THE BARONESS herself. The aircraft's speed and maneuverability will revolutionize the ground war with the Joes, that is, if we can get all the systems working together at the same time. Note to self: Keep an eye on THE BARONESS as she has been poking around even more than usual. Seems suspicious. **** TEST PILOT Code Name: THE COUNTESS Primary Military Specialty: Pilot Secondary Military Specialty: Aircraft Mechanic Birthplace: Classified Contessa is the daughter of a deposed Count of a small Eastern European country. During her youth, while her father was still in power, she and Anastasia "The Baroness" became childhood friends. However, after the murder of Anastasia's brother, the two lost contact. Many years later while on a mission for Cobra in Turkey, The Baroness found Contessa working as a pilot for a local crime lord. Despite the years, they immediately recognized each other and after the Baroness killed her boss (inadvertently costing Contessa her livelihood), Contessa asked to join Cobra. The Baroness welcomed her old friend with open arms. Between her excellent flying skills and likable personality, Contessa quickly rose through the ranks to become Cobra's top pilot below Wild Weasel. However, her beauty did not go unnoticed by Destro and created a rift between her and The Baroness. In fact, it was Destro who gave her the code name "THE COUNTESS" despite protests from The Baroness. (Note: In aristocratic hierarchy, the rank of Countess is above Baroness.) Qualified Expert in all Cobra aircraft as well as F-5E, F-15, F-16, F-18, XP-14/F and most Russian aircraft including the Su-30MKI. Cobra Commander Says: "The Baroness must be a student of Sun-tzu because she not only appointed The Countess to be our experimental aircraft test pilot but also her "personal" pilot. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer indeed. I can only assume from her growing jealousy that one day The Baroness will find it necessary to ensure that one of our experimental aircraft meets a tragically lethal end." **** Intel: Code name SPECTRE has identified a new Cobra aircraft that is being tested at an underground facility in the Southwestern United States. **** Orders: Code name TOP SHELF will be dropped 10 miles from suspected site of Cobra experimental vehicle testing facility. (See code name DUSTY for insights and preparations.) TOP SHELF will proceed to site and conduct surveillance as long as deemed necessary to estimate capabilities and threat level. Upon completion, TOP SHELF will proceed to extraction point and call for pick up. NOTE: TOP SHELF must NOT ENGAGE enemy unless threat is immediate and eminent. **** Top Shelf's log: Entry 0 - Day 1 - 21:30 I'm making the drop under what little cover the desert night sky can provide. Dusty's flying the Dragonfly low and he won't tell me where we're headed. I can't tell if he's following orders or just grumpy but I'm guessing by our travel time and the terrain that we're in southern Nevada or New Mexico. I always wanted to get abducted by aliens. That would totally rock! Come to think of it, that's probably why Cobra's using this area to test their experimental aircraft. Any "sightings" by the locals would be lumped in with all the others as the latest UFO. Entry 1 - Day 1 - 24:05 Dusty isn't much company. He won't quit griping about how I got picked over him for this mission. "Desert is MY specialty, blah, blah, blah!" Anyway, Dusty's getting fidgety so I must be dropping soon. Entry 2 - Day 2 - 02:17 Whoever said a ten mile run through the desert in full gear at night was a piece of cake was out of their mind. It was probably Dusty. I gotta remember to slug him when I get back to HQ. Arrived at observation point and set up blind just inside a rocky crater surrounding suspected site. Entry 3 - Day 2 - 4:06 Satellite photo of underground hangar confirmed. 50 yard "hole" opens in the center of the rocky crater. VTOL aircraft whose profile resembles a miniature Cobra Rattler rises from hole. Aircraft hovers three minutes above the hole before it begins to shake from side to side so much that the pilot loses control and almost crashes into the crater wall. Pilot regains control and it descends back into the hole. Entry 4 - Day 2 - 6:01 I can't say that I've seen anything, but I get the distinct impression I'm not the only one watching this site. Will not move for the next 24 hours to attempt to verify. Entry 5 - Day 3 4:15 Hangar doors open again. Same aircraft rises from within. This time it rises smoothly but when it pauses to hover, it still slightly sways from side to side. Aircraft takes off, skimming the crater no more than 10 feet from the surface. Entry 5 - Day 3 4:45 Aircraft returns to hangar but just hovers over the closed door. The nose mounted machine-gun opens fire... Entry 5.5 - Day 3 4:54 I evaded the machine gun fire but it tore up half my remaining water supply. I thought they might have made me but they must have just been testing the gun. Wait, something is definitely going on. Inside the cockpit, the pilot is looking very agitated. The aircraft sways even more before it lands right on top of the hanger doors. The pilot throws open the canopy and tosses some kind of robotic scorpion out of the cockpit. Its smoking and the legs are twitching. The pilot hops out and is female. She plugs a few rounds into the thing, and stomps it into the ground. The pilot then removes her helmet, throws it onto the sand covered ground and yells something at the top of her lungs that sounds like "Stacy." She gathers her composure and gets the plane moving again. This time the hanger doors open and the aircraft descends. WTF just happened here? Entry 6 - Day 3 5:22 I see movement on the other side of the crater. Some kind of desert ninja looking guy with a whole lot of electronics gear. He opens some a hidden access hatch nearby and disappears. Entry 7 - Day 4 4:09 Hangar doors open and same aircraft rises from within. When it reaches 30 feet above the opening, right side engine explodes and the plane crashes into the side of the crater. I can't tell if the pilot survived the crash. Ground crew emerges from below and douses the flames. The Baroness herself is among them. Damn it, Hawk if you didn't give me orders not to engage I could put two bullets right through those geeky glasses. Wait, the pilot is coming down the side of the crater, she must have ejected before the explosion and it sent her outside the crater. She's a hot mess and her flight suit must have been on fire because she's smoking and walking like a drunk. But she still has enough left to throw a sucker punch right across the Baroness' face. Don't know why the Baroness didn't duck, but she orders some of the ground crew to take her away. The pilot is spitting and cursing at the Baroness as they drag her down the hole. Entry 8 - Day 5 2:15 Made it away from the site undetected and awaiting pick up. I'm not entirely sure what I saw happen down there but it appears that the aircraft is out of commission for now. Was it mechanical failure or the result of sabotage, it's hard to say. Y'know if the Cobras could just stop fighting themselves for a minute, they might actually stand a chance against us. Dumbasses! Creator’s note: It's actually much smaller than a Rattler. |

COBRA H.I.S.S. IOD (Instrument of Destruction) The H.I.S.S. IOD is the deadliest of the tanks in the H.I.S.S. fleet. Its black paint is where it's similarities to any other H.I.S.S. end. Sure, it's loaded with firepower -- 2 side canons, a Hell-fire rocket on each side, a 50mm gatling gun underneath, 20mm nose canons and turret cannon, and even has 2 pulse cannons at the rear to provide a "parting shot". But its real destructive power comes from its stealth, electronics and defense. That black paint doesn't just look good - it is able to absorb or erratically deflect all type of waves, so it is invisible to radar and sonar. Its engine is also muffled and has its own coolant system surrounding it - so not only is it quiet, but its heat signature is reduced such that it would not be recognizable as a vehicle on thermal imaging. Its armor not only protects it from most light explosives, but it is able to withstand and EMP. The IOD has several cameras as well as a parabolic antenna, making it excellent for surveillance. As a matter of fact, this is the preferred vehicle for some of the more clandestine mercenaries that Cobra employs such as CANE or FIREFLY. CANE will often begin his missions riding out on the IOD with its crew (Hughes, the driver and Kettner, the surveillance specialist), gather Intel with them and then deploy to get his job done after which he rejoins the IOD. This vehicle provides him with the speed (faster than any other H.I.S.S.), stealth and firepower needed for any mission, and can back him up if things don't go as planned. Of all the innovations and technology aboard the IOD, Hughes and Kettner are most proud of the mp3 player hook-up for an iPod. Neither could imagine going into battle without hearing "Crazy Train" or "Armageddon It" blasting throughout the vehicle. COBRA COMMANDER loves this vehicle. "This is the truest snake that we have in our armament," he says. "You don't know it's there until it's bitten you." Parts used: Republic Fighter Tank from SW Nose guns are Devilfish guns Tank treads from Cobra imp Styrofoam block Some of the ROC spring-loaded weapons and parts from them "Cameras" are scopes from various guns iPod from "Dataframe's" webgear Dish from the Marauder Antenna from the SW Sand troopers Rear guns from Triple T Gatling gun from Marauder Ladder from Transportable Battle Platform |
