On New Earth it's survival of the fittest. The new Cobra has risen from the ashes.

***Communication from Dr. M Bradley lead of project Vanguard***

At last we have made a breakthrough. The amount of stolen tech in this suit would cost enough to buy a small country. However now we've done it once we should be able to replicate it.
For those of you just being introduced to this project let me run through where this tech has come from.
The repulsor tech was stolen from a derelict Stark Industries lab. Although once we paid Firefly's fee we could probably have made one from scratch.
The stealth tech came from a merc known as Wraith, he had to be eliminated but it will be worth it. It's been intigrated with something very special.
Various members of Cobra high command have been tracking this rumour for years.
In the late 80's a special ops team where tracked in the South American jungle. There was only one survivor. He gave the CIA a detailed of a EBE hunter who used advanced tech to hunt them through the jungle. There have been several other rumours and stories of these creatures in warzones around the world.
We finally tracked one to the Rhine valley. Having moved in a huge amounts of troops we managed to corner the creature. We'll never do that again.
High Command insisted that we bring in an expert if such a thing existed. The guy we brought in was err is one hell of a soldier. Not only a highly trained commando he is also a hand to hand combat master.
The creature known as a Yatuja or Predator ripped our expert apart, but he got the job done. The Yatuja was killed but we saved it's technology.
We also managed to save our "expert". Once in the lab we added all the technology we had assembled to the BAT tech we were also working on. Instead of the internal processor though we intergrated our expert. The man known as Lee Hyson ceased to exist and became known as Vanguard Leader - Grievous.

Thanks guys. I managed to snag a second PoC Firefly (he's awesome). So I have another head so I have another custom in the works. This second one will be sleaker. This one is missing something but I'm not sure what.
On another note the head reminds me on the Independance Day aliens.

Maybe re-paint the irises on the helmet you have too much silver going on? Either red or green would look good and give that inhuman look.
