The Cobra Constrictor serves as transport support of cobra troops and vehicles. It carry up to 12 troops or a variety of vehicles ranging from a Stinger jeep, HISS tank, and the Crimson Attack Tank(CAT). With the addition of a front mounted gatling gun and wing mountd missile lanuchers, the Constrictor promises to replace the aging transport helicopters Cobra has been using since the mid 1980's (see Marvel's GI Joe run). Although testing is still being done, MARS research labs expect final production later this year.


This started as a project for my technical illustration class in the Fall of 2002. I wanted to take the coolness and functionality of the transport helicopters found in the old Marvel series.

Since the parts I chose were from actual production pieces, it made since to attempt to make it. I first began my cutting everything from the NAC that I didn't need. I did, however keep the speaker and rotor action in tact. After cutting it apart I stopped working on it for several months. I didn't start working on it again until I 3D modeled (using Maya 5) it in my Intermediate Product Design Class in the Fall of 2003.
