Christopher R Taylor Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 There's a lot of crossover you could easily do between Cobra and VIPER, in fact I suspect more than one GM has done a GI Joe style game with UNTIL vs VIPER.

CaptnStrawberry Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 That thought has occurred, tho I always feel the good-guys need a catchier name - 'Yo UNTIL!' just doesnt work, phonetically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Technically speaking, VIPER is based more on Hydra, but the book Scott Bennie put out does seem influenced by COBRA (and in a good way) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 There's been quite a bit of conceptual synergy among these and other fictional organizations over the decades. IMHO at this point it's not useful to try to figure out which started what concepts first -- they've all been in the public consciousness so long they cross-pollinate.

Lord Liaden Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I want Champions action figures. Especially a Starburst figure--twelve inches tall with eighteen points of articulation, light-up eyes and removable cloth costume. I'm willing to settle for Heroclix size, as long as it's fully and accurately painted. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Working on Viper paper minis. Gonna build a sheet for each vehicle and agent type so people can print off a quick viper army. I figure a heavy agent, a sniper agent, and a basic agent, plus a commander, and the big vehicles. Dunno how long its gonna be, but I'm basing the agents on plastic army men for poses, just for extra fun. This commander is by Storn, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Well, if you remember, Marvel shelved an ideal called "Furry Force", which would of been focused on Nick Furry Jr. and his hand picked from the military group of SHIELD agents against Hydra and other organisations of criminal bent. They dusted it off when Hasbro came calling for help recreating G.I. Joe for the 80's. This worked so well that Marvel helped with The Transformers, Jem, and The Vizonaries.

Lord Liaden Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I know you meant "Nick Fury" rather than "Furry," but now I really want to see "Furry Force" in a talking-animal universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
