Cobra Commander (CW)

"Do not move against me. Do not disobey me. Do as I command and you will receive unimaginable rewards."

Not much is known of the background of the man many call the Cobra Commander. What we can only tell is how he works and how he thinks. We know that he has deliberately started political and social conflict in a number of areas. He has amassed an army by recruiting displaced people, promising them money, power and a chance to get back at the world that hurt them. In return, he demands that they swear absolute loyalty to his cause. What is his cause? World domination.

Cobra Commander does not delude himself by justifying his actions as matters of principles or glory. He knows he does it for control and power. He is ruthless, hatred-personified and totally obsessed. A meticulous person, he likes to personally oversee vital projects himself, even engaging in military combat himself on occasion. A skilled orator, Cobra Commander is in love with the sound of his own voice.

Description
Cobra Commander is sporting newly-redesigned body armor. His silver facemask is molded into his gunmetal grey helmet, equipped with an imbedded infrared scanner. The Commander wears a black Nomex flight suit, over which is layered grey ultra-lightweight and ultra-durable armored protection. A chest plate protects and continuously monitors his vital organs, with a single crimson Cobra sigil over his heart to signal his allegiance. Advanced weaponry is built into the right forearm of Cobra Commander’s armor, along with the servos that give him a super-humanly powerful kung-fu grip. Cobra Commander’s left forearm contains a type pad which allows him to give silent orders to troops in the battlefield as well as integration with his personal HISS tank, with a thigh-mounted touchpad for additional functionality. Pouches around his waist contain emergency supplies and extra ammo, and his legs are protected by further gunmetal armor. The overall effect is far less grandiose, but seems much more deadly.

COBRA WORLD
The United States was greatly divided during the Vietnam War. During this time, a young man sees his chance. Ten years after the war's ending, the paramilitary organization known as 'Cobra' seizes control of the government, having covertly established strongholds in every part of the country. The Cobra Commander now controls much of the Americas, having forged a strong alliance with the USSR. The remaining US patriots seek a way to reclaim their home.

In Cobra World Cobra Commander carries a mode-locked Megatron as his personal firearm, and Starscream as his personal jet.

Decepticon WORLD
In Decepticon WORLD, Cobra Commander is the brave commander of a worldwide secret militia determined to overthrow the Decepticons and restore Earth to human rule. He works closely with G.I. Joe, although Cobra Commander is a little more willing to invoke collateral damage in the interest of saving the planet.
