Águia Comando (Command Eagle) is an exclusive figure from the Comandos em Ação - Air Patrol series, released only in Brazil by Estrela in 1994, during Series 11 of the toy line. It does not have a direct equivalent in the American G.I. Joe series. Clearly, Estrela recreated the Air Patrol based on the American Sky Patrol series from 1990, and it's likely that its colors were "inspired" by Skydive V1 and Static Line V1. I think there were some oversights in recreating this series which, in my opinion, turned out to be quite random compared to the original.
Nevertheless, Águia Comando is a fascinating example of the reuse of parts from other figures in the line. It uses parts from Piloto do Força 2000 - S.P.A.C.E. (released in 1991) and Biosfera (released in 1993). If we were to pinpoint the parts from G.I. Joe characters, we would have the head and legs from Sneak Peek V1 (1987), arms and chest from Maverick V1 (1987), and waist from Recoil V1 (1989).
Its accessories are also a mix from various other figures and include a somewhat odd kind of parachute.
Personally, I find the figure controversial, but interesting. It can be added to the Sky Patrol team, although it doesn't make much sense as a military parachutist, so in this case, we have to "abstract" the concept and consider it a futuristic figure. The accessories could also be a more coherent mix suited to the theme of the figure.

ÁGUIA COMANDO (Command Eagle)
When action requires total precision, he is called upon. Only ÁGUIA COMANDO can, without the aid of any equipment, recognize from the air the exact point of attack. Using his fantastic photographic memory and impressive self-control, there is no critical situation when ÁGUIA COMANDO is in the air.
