I guess the title says it all. Who is your favorite Modern Era Cobra Trooper and how many do you have of them? I was debating this with a friend of mine the other day and even though we agreed there are some amazing ME troops( Shock Trooper, Jungle Viper, etc. ) we both had the same favorite: the POC/30th Cobra Trooper. The classic blue shirt in modern updated style is simply awesome. Very basic, but very perfect. We both had the same minor gripe as well, he should have come with a basic AK-47 as well as his other accessories. I have 40 of these bad boys, and I could see myself getting a few more. I usually stop at a dozen troops, but I just keep adding these guys to the ranks. I really hope Hasbro finds a way to give us that concept vault ME Cobra Officer.

Shock Trooper, very easily. Finally, a basic Cobra trooper type that doesn't come in a childish primary color.
PoC/30th Trooper wasn't bad aside from the color and the unacceptable LCE he came with. Would have been almost the perfect time for Hasbro to do set of traditional suspenders-based LCE that didn't suck. |

I don't know how many I own right now but I would say the Alley Viper or traditional Blue Shirt. Shock trooper's gear is great though. You're right. The blue shirts should have all came with the AK-47 or some modded version instead of that sniper rifle.

I don't normally army build, but there are some cobra troops that have caught my attention.
Cobra shock troopers PoC alley vipers Resolute cobra troopers Resolute alley vipers Renegades cobra troopers Dollar general cobra troopers I have 5 of each, as that is my self-imposed cap. I also like the roc Target eel, and have 4 of them ATM.

POC/30A Cobra Trooper easily. Hasbro really nailed that update, so much better than their first attempt. One of the overall top modern figures.
Also the Resolute Cobra Trooper (Blueshirt and Crimson) would be perfect except for the vest pockets hanging over the hip joints so he can't sit properly. |

My faves, in this order. . .
Shock Troopers x 8 Vipers x 8 Troopers x 8 Alley Vipers x 9 Tough call cause all of them are great figs but the gear is what sets them apart. . . |

There are a bunch of good choices but my two all time favorite Cobras are Eels and Snow Serpents. I have more than 50 each in O-ring and I'm well on my way to accomplishing that in the modern construction.
Favorite new figure is RoC Para Viper. I have about two dozen of the 25th ones (thought I'd dye them) and only 8 or so of the RoC. I'd love to get some more of those. |
