Head: Zartan (v20 alt head)
Body: GI Joe Trooper (v2B)
Gear: "Ultimate" Duke

I won't claim originality on the Roach code name. I've seen it used with another custom somewhere out there in the wilds of the internet. The key is that this particular head sculpt was used as a character named Roach. I liked it, so I "borrowed" the idea.

The alt head sculpt for Zartan is exceptional and I knew I didn't want the head to just linger in a parts box. He needed to become somebody. I've used the head with different bodies, but I think I'm finally satisfied in this "final form."

Like his namesake, Roach is tough to kill. He creeps into Cobra installations, sets a charge, makes his observations, whatever. Cobra hates him.
