We had a discussion at Joecon about the actual function of the shock viper.
is he REALLY a cobra trooper? or originally designed as a Joe, and then switched to a cobra? I mean: 1) what does a terrorist organization need with a trooper with stun guns? 2) what possible purpose does the shock trooper have that the Alley viper doesn't already fill, or the other grunts (Troopers, vipers) couldn't do?

I don't understand the purpose or the use of the "Shock Viper" myself. I still bought one for its coolness factor. But I still haven't taken him out of the package. Really, he's up for sale if anyone wants him b/c I have no use for him with my displays.

when i did have them, i painted off the cobra insignia, and used them as Urban greenshirts backing up Beach head rather than a cobra soldier...

I have ten of these guys. I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do with them. Probally paint over the cobra sigil and have them be part of the Joe urban assault team

Shock troopers are the internal security force of cobra...I use them as my MPs as well as the contract security force in a renegades fashion...the public face of cobra security

Any chance the concept of Renegades was taken in mind when creating the figure?

Cobra is no longer a terrorist organization trying to rule the world.
They're a billion dollar Halliburton/Walmart corporation that owns everything so we don't have to. They won. |

i have mine displayed with my av's and firefly. altho i think they could still use this fig again for joe, i think its crimson god who has that awesome sig with all his custom shock troops, i think he converted his into joe style, never asked him, but they look bad ass, and with just some minor changes and different accessoies could be a easy repaint for a joe squadron.
