Day 148b - Shooter - (Unproduced RAH) (2/7/26)

I may have underestimated the interest the SLUG Driver might gain, but how about a really weird one? Apparently Hasbro produced THOUSANDS of drawings like this for characters that never got beyond the initial design stage. Putting aside how much I'd love to just see those, this is one they did for 'Shooter', which is obviously a name they've since used for someone on the other side. Designed to be the Cobra Sniper, Shooter appears to have a remote controlled, shoulder-mounted rifle. Maybe Classified could make this guy really neat.

Slug Driver is an absolute yes. Even without the vehicle. In fact, I kind of want the vehicle and multiples of the driver since he looks like he'd be a great generic Cobra infantryman.


Shooter is dumb and that design can stay where it belongs; in someone's 'this idea sucks' file folder in Hasbro's 3rd lowest basement level.

I find myself agreeing with Damien. Slug Driver has grown on me. Shooter just doesn't press any of my buttons. The good ones, anyway.

I’d need to see more development on that Shooter before I could decide.
