Dark Rattler

[vidmouse]

"Cobra Commander, it has come to my attention that too many of our Rattler squadrons have been losing to the Joes, so I am offering you this upgraded model: behold, the Dark Rattler!"



"The Dark Rattler comes complete with standard anti-radar reflective stealth screen technology, plus an impressive arsenal of weaponry: twin nose-mounted anti-personnel guns, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and bombs, and most impressively I might add, the standard rotating turret has been upgraded with our new pulse laser cannon! GI Joe won't stand a chance against us!"







"I've also modified the engine, landing gear, and wing assembly to make this a faster, more manueverable jet... which helped us reduce costs as well."

Man vidmouse, that looks sweet. I'm a total sucker for the A-10. The paint job looks great.

I LOVE IT!!! Awesome job!! My son's got the Elite A10, looks alot like that one but a little bigger I think. Which one's that? I'm guessin it's the one I saw online with the buttons for sounds?

& is the gunner turret factory or custom??

[vidmouse]

This is the Soldier Power you can get at Dollar Generals right now.
The gunner turret gun is custom, ripped it off of a tank from another cheap
toy manufacturer. (literally, the thing ripped off). On the Dark Rattler
it's solid though, as I used apoxie sculpt to set it in place.

Well it looks like it belongs there!! & Paraviper belongs in it!

I also noticed I'm not the only one usin vehicular achronyms to renumber my customs... Z06, SWEET! lol
(my Dragonhawk=428. Son's A10=429. Joe HISS=389, etc)

I believe Z06 was on the original Rattler? I just felt like it wasn't enough to put just
red Cobra signs all over it. ANd of course I had to include the "Not a Step" signs all
over the place

[Raven R/T]

You're right it was, lol

Sweet job, vidmouse! In addition to the paint, I like the chin gun and open turret (looks more fun than it would be to have to ride in it, though!)

[vidmouse]

I figured Destro's a smart guy... he'd find a way to strap down gunners w/o "wimpy" things like canopies.

And he invented clear rivets. What more is there to say?
