In my joeverse, Shock Troopers are the equivalent of S.W.A.T and my Alley Vipers are urban special force troops. Millitary trained vs civillian law enforcement trained.
Alley Vipers would come in wipe out the the local goverment forces. And if the population started acting up Shock Troopers would be called in to neutralize the problem. Last edited by DaveViper; 04-07-2013 at 11:38 AM.. |

With the gear Shockies come with (Sheilds, cuffs, tasers, and batons) I'd have to think their more of a Suppressive/Security team while the AVs are the assault force.

I don't use Shock Vipers (though I do love the gear they came with), to me, they just lacked that "Cobra flair" and are functionally redundant in the face of the Alley Viper.
I think the best use I'd have for them would be as "Alley Viper trainees"

I use Alley Vipers as Elite Urban Warfare Operators. I use Shock Troopers as Security Forces / guys training to be Alley-Vipers.

I think of Shock Troopers as real world versions of the Alley Vipers. They both have similar equipment, but the Alley Vipers are more fantasy looking.

Alley Vipers are more fantasy and scrawny when compared to the features of the Shockies. Not to mention we now have three different versions of them (Shock Trooper, Invasion Trooper, and Ninja Trooper). Alley Viper will always be something out of the 90's, dated.

Alley Vipers would come in wipe out the the local goverment forces. And if the population started acting up Shock Troopers would be called in to neutralize the problem. But, my AV's are more spec ops missons capable. So they can pretty much fill in any role needed at any time. (And can also take charge. . . if there are no officers or CG's defer to an AV!!) They are well paid, very well funded and their numbers are few. My ST's have an early chance to make the cut for AV if they show the capabilities and endurance. An ST is a step up above Trooper but below Viper (Cobra's Marines). |
