Head: Chap Mei Ninja
Rest: Urban Strike Firefly
Urban warfare is the most deadly sort of fighting in the history of modern war, with low survivability for both attacker and defender; urban strikes should be high impact and fast as possible, as survivability is inversely proportional to mission length.
Trained by Firefly and Scrap-Iron, Strike Vipers hit hard and fast, hitting critical infrastructure and building access points in the first seconds of battle to provide access to Street and Alley Vipers to urban targets. They then hold those access points until the objective is completed, and cover the disengagement.
As a key part of Cobra's urban forces, the Strike Vipers are generally laden with explosives. Any chance to rid themselves of the extra weight by blowing up primary targets, targets of opportunity, banks, candy shops, or anything else that will fall to a block of C4, means a lighter run during extraction.

This custom was inspired by General Hawk's review of the Urban Strike set, and the general availability of Urban Strike Fireflies. This custom is just a head swap and re-equip, the hardest part being the finding of enough of the Chap Mei Ninja heads to complete the group of 10 of these guys. The color match was perfect, and the head is an amazing army builder head.
