Cobra Trooper – Flamethrower Specialist (2008)
Here’s another of the Cobra extreme environment troopers, this time a flamethrower. Well, I think that’s what he’s supposed to be. He actually incorporates elements from a firefighter as well as a flamethrower. The body was donated by Barbecue, the Joe team’s resident fire putter-outer. The weapon comes from Dreadnok Torch, a man who probably loves the phrase “burn it with fire!”
The combo is odd, to be sure. I suppose it’s possible that Cobra uses the troop type in both capacities. Why not double the use of your troops, especially those who probably don’t often get called on for action. If he’s not needed in battle, maybe he can start the grills at Cobra cookouts.
The paint scheme opens up the possibility of a custom desert Barbecue, in itself an odd thought. Does much firefighting go on in such arid environments? Now that I’m thinking about it, what is there to burn in the desert anyway? Wow, I just realized this is kind of a pointless figure. Oh well, forget I brought it up. Enjoy the pretty pics at least. See you tomorrow.
These guys could be one level before troops can become Incinerators.
Nice paint nice colors decent parts stupid figure.
First I’ve heard of this figure. Nice paint apps, though.
I didnt even know this guy existed. I suppose Cobra needs emergancy personel too.
It reminds me of the clone wars fire fighter battle droid i was never able to find.
This is Cobra. What’s there to burn in the desert? People.
Fires in the desert? Gulf War Kuwaiti oil fires? Remember?
Cobra loves flamethrowers for no specific reasons. Incinerators, Shock Vipers (people forget that’s what they are), BATS with attachments, Torch…
Shiny blacks boots on a desert guy? Why a Viper’s head? The set was strange. Bludd doesn’t go khaki but dons a scarf. 2 Crimson guard?
Great figure!
