User blog:Bzero/IC Post: Cobra Commander - Pre-Recorded Broadcast

Cobra Commander appears on-screen in what looks like a small room dominated by a massive Cobra Unity flag. In an address taped exclusively for Cobra officers and troops, the Commander records the following:

“Followers of Cobra worldwide, I must commend you on your recent efforts. Not only have the Decepticons been vanquished and their devastation of our world stopped, which was no mean feat, but since then you have done well to dig our tentacles into every flood-ravaged country in the world. Continue your efforts to put Cobra’s best face forward while we prepare for the next phase of our plan.

“Recruit where you can, and exploit every opportunity to blackmail and bribe our way to power in each country that is so desperate for our aid. Avoid direct conflict with the Joes and NATO, while observing their operations and reporting their activities. Should violence become necessary, make it quick, quiet, and fatal, and then deal with any potential witnesses. We wouldn’t want anything to blemish our new good name.

“Covert operations personnel, your work now will be especially delicate. You will be given further orders. The rest of you keep up your excellent work, for soon we will reap our rewards. Cobra!”
