Also, this line: "Vapor is an unbeatable sky warrior..." implies he is one man. If he were a trooper. that line would have read "Vapors are unbeatable sky warriors...".
Decimator's card is weird, it almost sounds like he is a single character, but then it says "the Decimator's helmet...". It would or should say "Decimator's helmet..." if he was a unique non-trooper character. I still lean towards him being unique, but that one line really sounds like he is a troop after all. Neat about The Decimator but I read that like as "send in The Decimator." There is only one Star Viper in the comic but I don't see a conflict with the filecard because I believe he was meant to be only the first Star Viper of a line of them. Quote:
No, that's not what I originally wanted to say, THEDARKONE508, but reluctantly I admit that he just might actually be unique among all Rock-Vipers if he is the only Rock-Viper ever to have received a no-shave chit, exempting him from the Cobra grooming standards. Well, him and his cousin (part of the 2003 six figure Toys R Us exclusive Python Patrol set).

All of the Rock-Vipers in the DIC animated series (appearing in only three episodes and both of the season opening sequences) were always clean-shaven.

I mean, technically, they are ALL unique, in that they don't look like each other under their helmets. Unless we're talking about Siegies.

As far as the Rock Viper's 'stash goes, I've got no problem with all of them having the same. For some reason secret to me, all of the maintenance guys at my plant sport the same facial hair. Some kinda stupid statist thing.

As a kid, did anyone else consider anyone with "Viper" in their name to be a troop builder and anyone with a unique name to be a "unique" character?
For me AVAC, Ferret, Decimator, Wild Weasel, etc. were all unique guys and Range Vipers, SAW Vipers, etc. weren't. |

Technically A.V.A.C. would be a troop using that line of thinking since AVAC stood for Air Viper Advanced Class.

I could easily see Rock Vipers having some sort of mustache rule, like the whole unit growing staches like getting matching unit tattoos.

I always made Star Viper a troop builder, even though the arrogant guy from the comics was fun, because we had at least two, maybe three I can't remember, of him when I was a kid. |
