1991 Desert Scorpion: Cobra Desert Trooper
Includes: pet scorpion, backpack with missile rack and hose, missile, 2 digger devices, machine pistol
For hand to hand combat, or digging situations, the Desert Scorpion can mount his rifle to his missile-equipped backpack.
NOTE: The accessories above did not come with 1991 Desert Scorpion (but they should have). They came with 2004 Sand Scorpion figure.
I always thought the pet scorpion idea was pretty ridiculous.
I mean, Croc Master taming crocs is one thing, but this desert trooper taming a giant mutated scorpion was another entirely. |
This biomechanical scorpion attaches like a backpack or detaches to terrorize Joes from the ground. Its tail and legs are articulated. The front two can carry the extra gun and claw attachments.
