There are only two things that Cobra Troopers and Vipers fear in the swamps surrounding Cobra Island: Croc Master and the Unknown Viper.

The problem with hiring criminals, thugs, and mercenaries is that every once and a while they turn on you. This is what CC learned after a newly promoted Viper went AWOL escaping into the swamps of Cobra Island. Believing him dead CC didn't offer a second thought. That was until a Night Viper squad returned missing a member. CC immediately called Croc Master who denied any knowledge and set out to discover how one of Cobra's elite died in his swamps. Since then Croc Master has been playing a game of cat and mouse with Unknown. It is rumored among the legions of Cobra that Unknown attacks when ever he is hungry or needs ammo/supplies. He strikes during the day or the night always escaping unscathed.

This guy started out as a Rock Viper but quickly changed. I liked the idea of a criminal escaping and surviving in the swamps and attacking at random.

It is grimed up except for the visor. He keeps it clean so as to be able to utilize the built in sensors. He's smart and thus keeps it and his weapon clean

I'll post pics from the side and back tomorrow.

Very nice! Love the backstory, too. Looks like he's very comfortable in a swamp.

Very nice custom.
I love a good backstory as much as the figure itself.
You have a winner here.

I like the backstory and the custom looks GREAT from the neck down, but I'm not sold on the head.

I think he'd look much scarier with an unmasked crazy eyed head.

Exactly! Very cool concept and build-up for a nice custom.

Ya mean something like this?

I also tried to show the grimey helmet.

It's a custom cast I bought from the net. It's supposed to be Zartan. I bought 2 used one for Z and pulled it out for this. I thought the old gristled crazy eyes worked on a supposed cannibal/ Cobra awol.
