I'm slowly getting my GIJoe shelf set up the way I want, but I can't figure out which Cobra character is best suited to drive the bright neon colored Cobra Earthquake.

Any suggestions? I don't have a lot of RAH Cobra figures to choose from in my collection, but I do have a few along w/ several different newer sculpt figures.

Please pass along your suggestions. Thanks!

My own choices for which COBRA soldier operates my Earthquake is either a Shock-Viper, C.L.A.W.S. trooper, Headhunter, or regular infantry Viper.
I think the Earthquake it one of the better of the later COBRA vehicles from the RAH run and it ticks me off that it so often gets downplayed because of the neon colors.

I personally love the vehicle, despite it's rather loud colors. Plus it was a bargain @ $15 with only 2 red missiles missing (one of which I still need!).

Didn't think about the Shock Viper...I'll have to see how he looks on the 'dozer. Thanks for your suggestions Blight.

How about Techno-Viper?

He seems the obvious choice.

i always liked going with the box art. And if i remember correctly it was a over-kill v1 and a couple bats v2 that was on it.

Guess I should try and locate Overkill (v1) and some BATS and/or Techno-Viper!

How about a Mega Viper (http://www.yojoe.com/action/93/megaviper.shtml)?
Altho I havent seen an Earthquake up close yet, so am not sure if the color
scheme matches

Didn't think about a Mega-Viper...that might just work. The 2 shades of purple are different but the yellows might match. Thanksf for that suggestion!

When I had the thing Ninja Force Zartan and Sonic Fighter Road Pig w/ a bunch of v2. HEAT Vipers looked best. The Earthquake is kinda Dreadnokish.
