For me, Shock Troopers are more of a heavy security force for Cobra where as Alley Vipers are more of an assault force.
I'd say Alley Vipers are better simply do to superior tech, but I like Shock Troopers far more as a figure. |

I lump them together because they basically do the same job. Have to say I like AlecZeal's idea.

i think of shockies as a quick strike urban unit, and the alley vipers as an all inclusive urban infantry element.

I've seen this question before on here and the answer I liked best was that the alley vipers secured the streets while the shock troopers cleared the buildings (or something like that).
I really like the gear the AVs come with but I'm not crazy about the parts choices on the modern figure. Have you seen the custom using the red shock trooper body from the 3 pack as an AV? Badass! |

I figure the Shockies are more akin to riot police, these are the front line guys in any kind of crowd control/urban pacification scenario. Basically Cobra's police force just specializing in crowd oppression and suppression.
AVs on the other hand are much more specialized, these are the guys you send in to quickly and violently secure a building or kidnap a VIP. They work hand in hand with the Shockies, like a brutal SWAT unit. Sometimes you get one or the other, other times you're facing both.

i would have to say that the night adder's would be a heavy security force. at the same time maybe night adders are not really part of the sceme of things, because of there attachment to rise of cobra. what do you guys think?

I was thinking of using the Shock Troopers as building entry specialists while the Alley Vipers are the street fighters.

At best, I'd see him as a guy that has authority over both Alley Vipers and Shock Troopers, and decides how to best use them alone or together. |
