Vertebrae autococker

chillinspyder2 · 08-21-2008, 11:59 PM

Wondering what the story is behind these. I know their fairly hard to come across, but just how hard? I've seen red/green/purple, are there any other colors? Just any basic information would be great.

IMO, when they came out, a lot of people thought they where ugly, or not as good looking as others, plus the electro boom was just around the corner, so a mech cocker was starting to fade for want and need. they where around for a year or two, then changed because of the new year, new design.

I like how they look :P

When they were brand new they were overpriced just like all autocockers. They sat around because no one wanted to waste over 500 dollars on a cocker that most everyone considered ugly (now everyone has come around).

They were in stock at paintballgear.com for a very long time and were probably clearanced at the end for close to 200 dollars brand new.

Purple, Green, Red. I think thats it.

They are all mini's (except WGP has been known to do weird things so if there is 1 full sized out there I wouldnt be surprised).

I have seen 2 patterns. One with only 1 big vertibrae thing and most have 3 of them..or two, I cant remember.

No good story. They were just another production autococker that was unpopular. There are plenty out there. Less than STO's but still a lot.

I think there was a WL version for sale once on the old MCB.

I remember that vaguely as well. See - you never know what crazy thing WGP will do with their bodies.

Contour has a white one I think

They were all black with colored vertebrae pieces. White wasn't factory as far as I know. Obviously they can be anodized any color.

There was also a blue and black factory color.
