My question for my fellow tankers is about The Cobra Trooper with the silver cobra on his chest, is this trooper suppose to be the Viper Glider Pilot? I remember the original figure had a silver cobra on his chest, so I ask is the 25th figure a Viper Pilot or something else?

I say it is the Viper Pilot that came with the Viper Glider.

Well, that's what he looks like, so that's definitely what he most accurately reflects, but I don't think Hasbro intended for fans to think of it that way. My guess is that they wanted to keep people buying the Cobra 5 packs, so they added a minor variation to him to ensure that people bought as many toys as possible. In my mind, he's just a trooper (until they release 25th anniversary viper gliders).

It was actually Warden's idea to do the silver logo trooper because he liked the viper glider pilot.. & then the red logo's would be available in the 5-pack. When told that most fans would probably appreciate the red logo for the troopers, he said that he is a HUGE blueshirt/army builder fan & plans to basically have blueshirts available continuously.. similar to the SW clones/stormtroopers, etc. In other words, every year should see 1 or 2 new blueshirt release(s).

that's good to hear, it'd be nice of them to cycle in each of the 5 pack versions of the troopers ~ i actually like the 'comic' version best :p

I'm just happy to see the Trooper's rifle not blacked out on the card art now.

Will there be a 25th anniversary Blowtorch figure based off the original design?
