More and more I've been thinking of Vipers as just regular blueshirts with extra armour. I figure they keep the goggles so they don't always have to wear the full mask (I assume the face shield retracts).
Remember, in the armed forces, it's always better to have the extra gear and not use it but not have it and need it! |

actualy they probably perform some optical enhancement that requires technology too small to miniaturize much further and/or include in there with the other layered optics that are likely integrated. vipers in my universe have thermal, night vision, 12x zoom, a/v recorders, multi channel commo, audio enhancement, and a limited sealed air sysytem for cbrn threats or submersion. my vipers use their googles over their face shields to keep the debri kicked up from high speed stun/hiss assaults- it could scratch/chip the LOS section of their valuable face plates. that is all.

Because the original figure had them, and heaven forbid hasbro deviate from doing something that was or wasn't on the original version.

The hemet just looks so bland, without them. They just have them, to look stylish.
Right. Just like they did with Zartan and Serpentor.... |

All sarcasm aside, they've been deviating since, what, 2002? With a (very) few exceptions, they haven't shown us much greatness in that department. Best to stick to the '80s.
