Although CC Runs the Troopers directly, Major Bludd and Scrap Iron below him run the show together (Bludd has a similar helmet, and Scrap Iron is like the highest-level Trooper—he's even dressed like one!) Tomax/Xamot run the CGs, under CC. Currently, Destro and Baroness lead the B.A.T.s and Wraith, with Wraith over the B.A.T.s When they release the IG/Viper CP set, I'm going to get 3 IGs to put under Destro/Baroness, with Mindbender leading the B.A.T.s Right now my Vipers sort of report to the same crew as the Troopers, but with the IG set, I'll have more Vipers, so I guess Scrap Iron or Bludd could run the show then? I guess you could have Serpentor leading them, I just hate the guy. He's on Exile Island with Nemesis Enforcer's pink self. |

Or you can just get some gold paint, paint one of your Vipers like this YOJOE.COM | Cobra Viper, who is apparently an unlabeled leader of the VIPER PIT

Swap a Cobra Commander head from a Viper and he can lead them. Why hasn't Hasbro thought of this before? What an easy way to get us all to spend a mint on a piece of crap repaint with a CC head.
Ugh... did I just say that outloud? Shit... Hasbro, don't read!

It's the Iron Grenadier/Viper Comic 2-pack. I would say "upcoming" but it's apparently been found at retail already... Part of Wave 8 of the Comic Packs.
A lot of people scoff at it because it releases 2 guys exactly as they've been released before, but I think CPs are the ideal place for Troop builders where you actually get TWO generic troop builders, versus 1 with some guy who you end up with a lot of. I think the only way the CG/Trooper 2-pack could have been better would have been if the Trooper/Officer was a Trooper, and with the black webgear and a black facemask. I get the homage to "Scarface" though, it's just that as a troop-builder, he's technically a single specific character... So I now have 5 Officers, 3 of which have scarred faces, with 3 Troopers to lead amongst the 5 of them. Haha. |

I have 6 RAH vipers. I don't care for the new mold.
However, they do have a leader. It is a Cobra Flints extra head on a Viper Body. |

To me the problem is that characters do not exist everywhere in the command structure where they should. It is safe to assume that the Cobra organization has more "name" characters than have been identified so far. So I tend to create characters to fill these holes in the command chain.
My vipers are in squads of 5 led by a squad leader with gold faceplate. Multiple squads (though I only have 2) are led by a Viper Centurion (modded fang pilot in Red/Black colors). I plan to add a new named character as the overall infantry Viper commander, just as many of the other viper divisions have. Major Bludd is in charge over all standard and specialized Viper infantry. I don't have every version of the CGs so they work the same way. Squads of 5 plus one black chest officer, 2 squads lead by a silver chest immortal. The twins are obviously in charge above them. Troopers are separate from Vipers in my structure and are the entry level divisions, they are used as filler when more troops are needed before more specialized troops can be mobilized. They also man bases, guardposts etc. Trooper squads each have an officer. Lt. Claymore is in overall command of the standard infantry troopers. Other "troopers" work at entry level positions in other divisions as well. Cobra divers in the Naval division, claw pilots in the Air division etc. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. |
