That Viper Jedijones shows above has the code name "Cobra Viper" makes him just a version of Viper, much the same with "Crimson Strike Team" Viper. Since Viper won the poll along time ago, those two shouldn't be eligible. But it's not my call.

It's a Viper with a distinct specialty. They can't leave Viper out of his name when listing him since that is what he first and foremost is.
This would be akin to C.L.A.W.S. and Desert C.L.A.W.S. Tanksmasher explained long ago you can't just go by the code names because they can be inconsistent and re-used for different characters, especially by the club. He takes the whole bio into account. But the name on this figure needs to be listed in a clear way that really identifies what the character is, and that's not "Heavy Weapons Trooper" which is just a specialty and vague enough to refer to several figures. Crimson Strike Team Vipers are likewise an entirely distinct squad of Vipers, like Python Vipers: http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/09/viper25.jpg Last edited by JediJones; 06-07-2017 at 11:30 PM.. |

Shouldn't we list Heavy Weapons Trooper as Heavy Weapons Viper or Viper (Heavy Weapons) instead? Technically the code name is what we call these by but we have to modify his code name with the Heavy Weapons description.
For example, this pack also has a Code Name: Snow Serpent Officer, specialty Polar Assault Officer. We're not going to list him by the specialty, we're going to use the code name. |

So if "special weapons trooper" gets in and wins will his pic be viper or claws?

His specialty isn't unique either. You have to combine the code name with the specialty to create a unique label that doesn't overlap with any other figures.

And technically Crimson Strike Team Trooper (or Viper as we've been calling him) is his specialty, not his code name.

No one yet has HWT for a code name so it doesn't have to be changed.

Because with Crimson Strike Team Viper we're correctly combining the specialty with the code name so everyone knows which character it refers to.

They'll know who won because there's a picture above it.

If you want voters to know I can put viper in parentheses and anyone who cares can post a picture in the thread. But I think the official name for the collage should be CSTT and HWT.
