Part of my Cobra O13 1982 Set, a companion/rival set for the GI Joe OG13 of 1982.

The concept of this figure started out in this O13 set as an analogue to Breaker (the anti-Breaker!), built as a slightly repainted Cobra trooper figure with Breaker's headgear, lots of red accents on the webgear, and paired with a similarly painted "Laser Trooper". Then I started tweaking him over the years, and he became that Cobra guy with the headset at Cobra Base, seen in the comics (#1, #4) but without the red mask.

He's not quite the proto Tele-Viper, as these guys stay off the battlefield and stay at base or in the trucks and vans in field, so I see both this figure and the Tele-Viper coexisting with slightly different roles, handling each end of the comm line.
