Character Bio: By Vince Zannelli
COBRA TROOPERS make up the bulk of the COBRA organization's fighting forces. They may be the "grunts" of this vast army, but they are, nevertheless, highly trained in combat techniques, martial arts and sabotage. Failure is not an option in the COBRA army, so COBRA TROOPERS must either win every battle they fight - or die trying. Aggressive and overconfident, they will face any enemy, even the ninja commando SNAKE EYES. How could one lone ninja hope to defeat a squad of ruthless troopers who are armed to the teeth? Simple: he can't. "We fear no one. Even a battle-hardened soldier or elite ninja has weaknesses that can be exploited to our advantage."
This version of the Cobra Trooper is from the upcoming "G.I. Joe: Resolute" webisodes, which will focus on a much more realistic, mature-themed G.I. Joe and Cobra conflict than earlier animated versions. This figure is an entirely new sculpt. Only time will tell if these Cobra soldiers are portrayed in a similar manner as their 1980s counterparts, or if this is part of a new army ready for battle in the 21st century. Figure includes a helmet, backpack, black rifle, a silver and black futuristic submachine gun, and stand.
