I think we would have seen some if the line had lasted more than a couple of years. Tiger Force got two, so I imagine Python Patrol would have had one, eventually, but they moved on from the whole Tiger Force/Python Patrol/Night Force thing relatively early.

Python Patrol didn't have full size naval vessels, but they did have a small watercraft in the form of a Python Patrol Water Moccasin sold as a G.I. Joe Collectors' Club 2011 Convention item.

Not sure why the club tried to pass a Comandos em acao tribute off as Python Patrol, but no snake skin pattern = not Python Patrol.

They included the Estrela toy company's unique Python Patrol specialists, Gatilho and Relampago, as a two-pack. They remembered that the Comandos Em Acao line had a red Water Moccasin, called the Hidroelice De Emboscada, so they included a modern era version of it with the other offerings for their Python Patrol faction. They kept it similar to the Estrela toy company version, except for adding a couple new markings along the side.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. It's not Pythonized... it's just a red Moccasin. The whole point of the Python Patrol is that the Pythonization makes them harder to detect with radar, but there's nothing on that Moccasin.

According to the original Hasbro packaging and card backs, the elite Cobra Python Patrol unit is handpicked from various Cobra Viper units, and they are known to wear uniforms and operate vehicles which confuses G.I. Joe radar detection systems, because it doesn't reflect radar, but rather absorbs it (converting the radar energy to heat which is absorbed and then dissipated).
The bright yellow, maroon, and gray colors of their uniforms are decorative only, as are the snake scale or cross hatch artistic patterns. Because the Python Patrol radar absorption spectrum would not be dependent on fashion presentation, an all-red colored Water Moccasin could possibly be "Pythonized" to reduce the radar signature without us knowing it. Quote:
While Cobra chose to absorb radar energy, radar reflection was an alternative option used by the G.I. Joe Sky Patrol featuring a surface which looked more like vacuum metallization chrome, but was an advanced, radar reflective protectant layer. Sure, it's all wacky G.I. Joe science fiction loosely based on military strategy, but it was the stuff of fun make-believe for kids.
