Trooper.Just pick one,and tell us why he's your favorite! For me-it's very simple:the 1986 VIPER! I love the concept,the sculpting,the weapon, the backpack,and the Filecard. He looks like a tough,no-nonsense soldier,with just a bit of the futuristic in his mirror-front helmet and his awesome Assault Rifle/Grenade Launcher combo. His uniform looks tough,like Kevlar armor-and in groups,the Viper is a deadly foe for GI Joe! I look forward to hearing all of your choices!

Design: I like the basic Cobra trooper, simple, not overdone like too many of Cobra/enemy troops, there was believable quality to their uniform Mold: Viper V1 overall, retained a military feel while being more advanced. Honorable mentions to Rock Viper v2 (the big problem is every troop wearing ammo belt to what looks like a heavy machine gun) Lamprey V1 Alley Viper 2002 wave 1.5, those Duke v1 legs are the downside. The mask is stil a bit corny, too. BAT V1, they never topped it as far as I'm concerned. Snow Serpent V1, again...got it right the first time. Cobra Officer, for same reason as Cobra Trooper.

I'm going to have to concur with Outrider. I don't really have a favorite they're all cool.
