Post subject:  Cobra M.U.L.E Multi Utility Lift Equipped

This is my first Cobra salvage vehicle I plan on doing a few different ones. I wanted something that looked like it had been created from salvaged parts. The Mule can be used to push pull or drag and tow vehicles. It can carry parts weapons and all sorts of things in the trailer. The front blast shield is to protect the driver in the event it hits an unexploded bomb. It also features a heavy duty crane and a removable cutting torches. The rear stabilizer acts as a tow hook and the trailer hold tools. The operators name is Wolf he's Cobra best salvage expert. At one time he tired out for the Dreadnoks but they were much to unprofessional for him. Wolf is a former antique dealer and vintage motorcycle collector who's store and entire collection were destroyed accidentally by GI JOE when a missile went off course. Ever since then he's hated GI JOE and now works for Cobra.

The Mule is Wolfs creation. He made it from several damaged Gi joe vehicles. He spends endless hours maintaining and touching up the paint. It's his new pride and joy.

Does not look at all like it was salvaged together, it looks factory fresh and I would not have it any other way. It is pure gold. Your customs are always good but this one is above and beyond.

This thing is really, WOW is the only thing that comes to mind. Though it doesn't scream Cobra to me as much as it would fit the Noks more. I can't even imagine the Slugger, Snowcat, and Bomb Disposal mixed would even come out even remotely this cool looking. I really find many of your projects very inspiring. Keep it up and thanks for sharing all your great work.

This is your best yet. They've all been good, but this is perfection. I didn't even recognize the base vehicles you bashed together because it looks so much like a vehicle that would've been a part of the 85-86 line up. Tremendous play value. If I would have had one as a kid it would have been crucial to every play battle I would have had.

The look was intentional. I wanted it to stand out without being flashy. There is also a slight Nok theme with the figure, he stands out but not flashy or over the top.

Thanks man. Originally I was going to do it green but when I came up with the name it had to be brown.

I couldn't agree more.
And your vehicle customs are getting better every time.

Thanks so much. I always loved this sort of toy as a kid too.

I'm surprised nobody picked up on who Wolf was supposed to be. So it's a challenge now for bragging rights. Oh and no it's not me.
