Description
The Commando has always had a "I'm a ninja" feel about it for me, mainly because of the 'mask' on the face, so I wanted to try and give it a color scheme based on some sort of ninja from fiction. Mortal Combat was an option, but I didn't feel like the color schemes they had were 'interesting' enough for a robotic/mecha ninja. However, a Google search for 'cyborg ninja' brought up some great images of Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid series) that seemed highly appropriate for our Commando here, particularly the images of Grey Fox from Super Smash Bros and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Although lacking a 'Mech sword (or vibroblade), this Commando definitely exudes that feel now.
