The "Black Hood” ballistic deflection clam shell shaped canopy features minimal ballistic entry canopy protection vision ports.

The canopy is controlled by a hydro-pneumatic elevation system.

The canopy/vehicle hydro-pneumatic elevation system can hold in the open position.

Inside you'll find a reconditioned customized bio-form “Evader” command seat and seat belt.

Behind the command seat sits a 325 HP dual turbocharger multi-fuel turbine.

Atop the canopy you'll find a rotating infrared thermal imaging scanner radar/missile rack, housing two “Pursuer” terminal-homing stinger-type surface-to-surface missiles.

Two pivoting “Eliminator” 9MM removable machine guns adorn the sides of the canopy.

Auto-seal self-inflating ultra-wide stance rear tire.

Ultra-wide stance puncture-resistant front tire, largely protected by the canopy.

Side-mounted armor shields provide protection and help keep the vehicle upright.

Note the dual port engine exhaust and Cobra shaped body.

Darklon was the next in a long line of key Cobras sold with an alpha (or lower price point) vehicle. Like Zartan, Serpentor and Destro v2 before him, Darklon was a completely new sculpt with detailed paint apps, and he came with one heck of a gun.
