Thanks!  That is indeed the lower portion of Swamp Viper cut up and clipped on kinda like clip on armour.  I was trying to use the Swamp Viper's neck scarft but didn't work out as well as I hoped so I just used the one from the comic pack pilot Destro that comes with Shockblast.

I remember I used to trade with him a lot...haha.

Repeater finally has his vintage backpack now.  I know there's a bunch of colour mismatch, but it is more pronounced due to the flash.





Mercer and Taurus
Here's my latest take on Mercer and Taurus.  I'm not finished with Red Dog as I'm still waiting for some parts and deciding how to do his webgear.

My previous Mercer used ROC Monkeywrench upper legs modded to accept Mercer's lower legs.  However, this made him too tall.  I managed to get an extra set of Mercer legs so I was able to do some modding without fear.  I also left the holster out a bit more so the vest doesn't interfere with the pistol.

As for Taurus, the only thing I added to my previous mods (fixed knees so he can stand, fixed head so he can look forward, and gave him Zanzibar's webgear) is I added a backpack for him.  It sits high to accomodate the knife (and I was actually just too lazy to move the peg).

Nice review.  Another thing with the front bumper now is that it restricts the left right movement of the front tires.  It doesn't turn as much anymore.

I removed my logo on mine though and changed the top to a gun.  Think it makes it much better in my opinion.



Also, here's a pic of the weapons clips mentioned by olyeller01 in action

Well, I don't expect anyone to be too interested but here's my review on just the bike.

Honestly, I think it's a nice bike cause I like bikes.  What kills it though is the figure and price point.  I can't review the Snake Eyes cause I traded it away.  The only reason I have this was thanks to the generosity of SnowSerpent11 who basically gave this to me for free.

I wish it wasn't emblazoned with the Arashikage logos but for a display piece on my desk at work, I think it's quite decent.  However, I removed the swords and unfortunately don't have a picture of them.  However, the part that holds the swords works nicely as hand guards which is why I left them on.

The other negative I can say is the size.  I think it's a little oversized and most normal Joe figures won't really fit on this bike.  As you can see in the pictures below, the Scout Trooper barely just fits.  Someone like Roadblock might fit cause he's bigger.

Cycle stands on it's own very well as the rear tire is really wide.  This is for the pull back action feature, which is well hidden and works quite nicely.

The missile launcher button is quite nicely hidden as well as it's the black button behind the seat.

Here's some pics.  I think the color scheme is perfect for the Scout Trooper I used on it though.

Here's Jango Fett standing beside the bike so you can see how the size is compared to a figure standing beside it:

This one is loosely based off of this version:


All the Overkill parts used are from that one as well.  The rest is ROC Elite Viper and the elbow of a ROC Neo Viper.  The webgear is from POC Cyber Viper.

This is my second attempt as I screwed up the head and arm attachment on my last attempt.

I think the gun attachment is upside down in the pic.










Here's some with the gun attachment on properly:
