Filecard information:
Code Name: NITRO-VIPER
File Name: Identities unknown
Primary Military Specialty: DETONATOR Driver
Secondary Military Specialty: Demolition expert
COBRA DETONATORS are the new elite tanks of the COBRA armed forces. They feature the latest in laser targeting, computerized global positioning, and smart missile technology, conceived in DESTRO'S armaments factories. The competition among TRACK-VIPERS to become operators of the DETONATOR is intense. Prospective NITRO-VIPERS are required to exhibit their ruthlessness by blowing up video game arcades and amusement parks. NITRO-VIPERS enjoy blowing things up so much that other COBRA Troopers and Vipers give them a wide berth.
Motto: "If it stands we can knock it down!"
