Cobra Fury with Street Viper
« on: June 09, 2011, 12:26:38 PM »

One thing I hated was that when Hasbro re-released some of the vehicles that had pegs to be used as control sticks, they removed them in the new releases.  Such examples are the Mobat and the Fury.

I just really hate how the gunner sits there with nothing to hold at all.  Makes him look silly sitting there being exposed to gun fire with nothing to do other than possibly sit there and bark orders out.

Here's my quick mod of the Fury.  I added a control stick.  It's from ROC Heavy Duty's missile firing gatling gun.  I drilled a hole and plugged the modified handle in.

As for the driver, I showed him before but didn't have a name.  When I saw the Fury, I thought his colors are perfect as a Fury driver.  I've named him Street Viper.  I did some additional mods to him in that I had to modify his hip socket area so that he can actually sit down properly as before, he couldn't bend at the hips the full 90 degrees.

Well, it's hard not to call him that when even Hasbro decided he should be Acrap Iron. :)
