User blog:Bzero/End of the Autobot Alliance

Cobra Commander appears on screen, wearing his familiar mirrored mask, with a large Cobra flag hanging on the wall behind him. In his familiar hiss, he records, “Cobra, the time has come to put our supposed alliance with the Autobots to an end. They have refused our request to join their Earth Defense Command, which gives us the perfect opportunity to resume our cold war. Should they attempt to enter our territory again, by land or sea, repulse them by whatever means necessary.

“Baroness, I want a fully updated account of current Autobot and G.I. Joe activities, especially those nearest our borders. Order more desert equipment – I want the Al-Alawi rebels found and eliminated immediately! Dr. Mindbender, I want a statement on the progress of our little projects. I’m moving up the schedule. Tomax, Xamot – pursue security contracts with regimes with goals and methods similar to our own. I don’t want Destro cashing in on all of the opportunities the recent strife has to offer.

“Even with our current ceasefire with the Joes and humanitarian work world-wide, there is still plenty to do for those seeking action of the more violent sort. Those of you wishing a more aggressive assignment report to Major Bludd at once for further orders. The rest of you continue your present missions, and report regularly on your progress. I will be watching. Cobra!”

With a dramatic flourish, Cobra Commander ends the recording.
