Cobra

COBRAAAAAA!

Cobra is a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world! Led primarily by Cobra Commander and sometimes by Serpentor, they've had their ups and downs in their struggle against the G.I. Joe team. They sometimes team up with or rebuild Transformers, primarily the Decepticons.

You all came here not because of what I have to offer. But to find purpose. I was lost once, too. Everything in my being told me there was more out there in the world. It took pain for me to see what I was truly capable of. I have seen more than you can ever imagine. And I will share it with you so we can create a new world. Together... we are Cobra. {{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Cobra Commander gives an inspirational speech to his new subordinates"Cobra Commander #5"|Cobra Commander gives an inspirational speech to his new subordinates{{#if:"Cobra Commander #5"|, "Cobra Commander #5"|}}|}}

"Fine, I'll make my own 2006! With blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the 2006 and the blackjack!"

By the year 2006 Old Snake, Cobra's one-time leader, was a homeless vagrant, selling the use of his organization's synthoid technology to small-time mobsters.

While nothing is stated outright, it appears that the threat of mighty Cobra is now but a memory. Only Human

[edit]

Earlier, in 2004, Garrison Kreiger, a former financial backer of Cobra and enemy of G.I. Joe's Sgt. Savage, served as a member of the nefarious Concurrence.

Among the other members of the Concurrence was Count von Rani, who himself clashed with Sgt. Savage as Iron Klaw, but who otherwise has no known connection to Cobra. Expose All of Evil's Designs!

Wings Universe

[edit]
Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Old Snake's encounter with the Autobots reignited his taste for domination. To that end, he reactivated an old Cobra project to amalgamate Earth's greatest military minds into the ultimate warrior, using the discarded body of a Sweep to do so. Unfortunately, the Earth Defense Command interrupted him, and General Hawk's brain was accidentally scanned, resulting in Serpentor, a Decepticon with EDC sympathies.

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

In the blighted reality of Primax 1185.04 Alpha, Cobra conquered the world thanks to the M.A.S.S. Device. When the Transformers woke up in 1984, the Decepticons found themselves unable to plunder the world and the Autobots, while disgusted by Cobra's junta, did not think it their place to interfere and quietly abandoned the planet. Megatron eventually teamed up with Sub-Atlantica but that only led to Cobra invading them, Cobra Commander just happening to have made soldiers with gills; Sub-Atlantica surrendered Megatron to Cobra Commander as a peace offering.

Eventually, some real American heroes showed up from Primax 984.17 Alpha to get up in Cobra's grill. Ask Vector Prime, 13/6/2015

And that's where all the Transformers were in G.I. Joe's "Worlds Without End" two-parter!

G.I. Joe and the Transformers

[edit]
Cobra's got style.

One way or another, Cobra made contact with Senator Barbara Larkin. As part of an overly complicated scheme to save face, Larkin designed the unstable Power Station Alpha which Cobra would then steal. Ashes, Ashes...

Even as Cobra Commander was threatened by the upstart Serpentor, he sent the Dreadnoks to steal Alpha only for the ineptitude to bungle things up, compounded by the Autobots and Decepticons involving themselves in things. Blood on the Tracks

In the battle, the Decepticons had used a cerebro-shell to assume remote control of Alpha, Doctor Mindbender hacking into it and bringing it to Cobra Island. By the time it arrived, Serpentor had deposed Cobra Commander, with the Decepticons following the station. Shockwave proposed that the two parties ally with one another, only for Mindbender to later overhear that Shockwave's modifications to Alpha would destroy the Earth. Power Struggle

Outmatched by the evil of the Decepticons, Cobra played along when ordered to attack the Ark where they disabled Dirge as a show of good faith to the Autobots while the Baroness met with Larkin. When the Decepticons prepared to destroy Earth, Cobra properly sealed their alliance with the Autobots when the Joes suddenly arrived, Ashes, Ashes... to join in hiding in the Ark. Working together, all three factions managed to destroy Alpha. Cobra slipped away once Alpha blew up but their actions, along with those of the Joes, left the Autobots doubting if humans could ever be trusted. ...All Fall Down!

Operatives involved in this mission included Baroness, Buzzer, Cobra Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Serpentor, Torch, Ripper, Zarana, and Zartan.

Generation 2

[edit]

In the midst of a scheme by Cobra Commander to bring new glory to his organization, the reconfigurable Silent Castle he had seized from Destro was put into a state of constant metamorphosis. This caught the attention of a heavily damaged Megatron, who flew to Trans-Carpathia from Canada and was enraged to discover a non-sentient piece of architecture instead of another Transformer. Unfoldings!

This confrontation eventually led to an agreement between Megatron and Cobra whereby Megatron would receive a new, more powerful body (designed by Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones) in exchange for the technologies of the downed-but-functional Autobot Ark. Realignments

"I just want some pants. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!"

Cobra helicopters led Megatron and the unearthed Ark from Canada to the Cobra-controlled town of Milleville, New York, where its brainwashed denizens began to unload the spacecraft. Their operation was discovered by the G.I. Joe team, who Megatron was vocally uninterested in battling. Goin' South

Not too long afterwards, a group of Autobots (Brawn, Chase, Hot Spot, Override, Skydive, and Steeljaw) arrived and battled Megatron in Milleville, causing considerable damage to Cobra's property holdings and destroying any vestiges of the town's use as a secret base.

As the situation continued to degrade, Cobra Commander ordered an evacuation of the town's assets and personnel from a position near the Ark. Megatron then arrived, and having captured Dr. Biggles-Jones, abruptly disregarded his previous agreement with Cobra Commander. He took the Ark for himself and blasted off, much to Cobra Commander's extreme annoyance.

In-transit, Megatron voiced that he had transferred a virus that had been implanted in his new body by Dr. Biggles-Jones to the Cybertronian technology in Cobra's possession, which would render it inoperable. Final Transformations

Operatives involved in this mission included Cobra Commander, Dice, Night Creeper Leader, Dr. Mindbender, Road Pig, Slice, and Zarana.

Following Megatron's departure in the Ark, a convoy of Cobra vehicles departed Milleville, safeguarding a transport containing the (unknowingly infected) Cybertronian technology they had acquired.

Wait, that was a Paralyzer a minute ago.

The convoy was assaulted by Autobot Hot Spot, who feared the havoc that could be created by the alien technology in Cobra's hands. As Cobra soldiers prepared to retaliate against him, they were cut down by Snake-Eyes and General Hawk, which gave Hot Spot the opportunity to destroy the transport.

Surrounded and heavily damaged, Hot Spot destroyed himself rather than be captured and dissected by Cobra's technicians for knowledge. All or Nothing!

Operatives involved in this mission included Cobra Commander.

Transformers/G.I. Joe

[edit]

In 1938, Major Sebastian Bludd discovered Megatron and his Decepticons in a shrine in the Fera Islands. Soon Megatron allied himself with Bludd's master, Cobra Commander, and they joined forces to conquer Europe. Even the mighty Maginot Line could not stop them as they rolled through Berlin, Paris, and Rome and enslaving their inhabitants. Before long, the Decepticon/Cobra onslaught reached Great Britain.

However, treachery from Destro, the Baroness, and Starscream led the newly formed G.I. Joe team to their Terrordrome. The Line While engaging Cobra troops commanded by Storm Shadow, the Joes encountered the Autobots, who repaired and revived themselves. The Joes soon found themselves under fire from a squadron of Rattlers and Seekers led by Wild Weasel, Transformed but they were driven back by Lady Jaye and the Aerialbots.

As this transpired, Megatron attempted to dispose of his insufficiently-efficient human partners, but was humbled by a Matrix-bearing Cobra Commander.

While the Cobra aircraft were driven off, they left behind paratroopers and Rumble. Trial by Fire The Joes managed to defeat the troops, and Bumblebee and Scarlett destroyed Rumble, but Zartan managed to murder and replace Breaker in the confusion. He was quickly discovered, but not before he allowed Soundwave to capture Flint.

Storm Shadow left the main Cobra force to engage in a deadly duel with his sword-brother Snake-Eyes, now a member of G.I. Joe. Despite the intervention of Ravage, Snake-Eyes defeated Storm Shadow, who was then eaten by a shark.

Soon, Cobra prepared to defend the town of Torhavn against the approaching Autobots and Joes, using slaves as human shields. Wolves Another Cobra air attack was foiled by Lady Jaye and Superion, leading to the death of Wild Weasel, and Lady Jaye defeated Bludd and the Dreadnoks. Meanwhile, a small Joe strikeforce infiltrated the Terrordrome, destroying Frenzy in the process.

As the Joes, Autobots, and an Allied fleet neared, Shockwave destroyed Superion and a number of ships, damaging himself severely in the process. Trenches But despite heavy losses, the Autobots soldiered on.

Destro and the Baroness took advantage of the chaos to unleash their monstrous creation Bruticus upon both sides—but not before slaying their co-conspirator, Starscream. Bruticus's attack crippled Cobra Commander, allowing the Baroness to execute him with Megatron's pistol form. Her victory was short-lived—before the Commander's body could cool, she and Destro were arrested by Scarlett and Snake-Eyes. As the metal monster tore through the Autobots, Snake-Eyes took the Matrix from the Commander's corpse and destroyed it, killing the Autobots, Decepticons, and Bruticus and ending the threat of Cobra. The Iron Fist

Operatives involved in this mission included Baroness, Buzzer, Cobra Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Major Bludd, Ripper, Storm Shadow, Torch, Wild Weasel, and Zartan.

Some 45 years after the conquest of Europe, Cobra rose again. Under the command of Cobra Commander, Cobra established extensive operations in the United States. In 1985, G.I. Joe attacked a Cobra shipping facility commanded by Destro. While the facility was largely destroyed, Destro and Scrap-Iron managed to escape via Trouble Bubble. Soon afterwards, Cobra detected the crash of an Autobot shuttlecraft near Portland. Their retrieval force was repelled by a team of G.I. Joe rookies. Targets of Opportunity

Operatives involved in this mission included Cobra Commander, Destro, Scrap-Iron, and Smith.

G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers

[edit]
Evil murderous terrorists get to have awesome robot suits and play with them. And you don't.

The fledgling terrorist organization Cobra discovered the Ark and its Transformer crew in stasis lock, and took them to their headquarters on Cobra Island. With the help of mad scientist Dr. Mindbender and weapons dealer Destro, they turned most of the Transformers into remote-controlled war machines—with the exception of Megatron, who was kept by Cobra Commander as a trophy, locked in pistol mode. They were smuggled into Washington, D.C. using Cobra's front company Arbco and used to strike at a United Nations summit, causing mass panic. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #1

Despite problems reprogramming some units (especially Optimus Prime), Cobra launched an attack on the SPS Research Facility. While several of Cobra's Transformers were destroyed in the attack, thanks to the intervention of the newly formed G.I. Joe as well as two escaped Autobots, Bumblebee and Wheeljack, Firefly managed to acquire the satellite technology and destroy the facility. Their success was short-lived, however, as Cobra's Transformers overrode their programming en masse and rebelled against their masters. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3 Cobra Commander was forced to unleash Megatron to battle Optimus Prime as he attempted to flee. As Cobra troops were slain left and right, the Commander and several other officers managed to secure S.N.A.K.E. suits and fight their way through the vengeful mechanoids.

Meanwhile, Megatron and Soundwave had taken control of Cobra headquarters and used the stolen satellite technology to begin producing energon cubes. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4 The Autobots and Joes took the command centre and incapacitated Megatron, but were then alerted to an American nuclear missile headed straight for them. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5 Enlisting the help of Mindbender, the Joes managed to shoot the nuke down with the SPS, with the side-effect of the satellite showering the island with deadly heat-blasts. After the blasts incapacitated most of the Decepticons, Optimus Prime managed to shoot down the satellite and defeat Megatron. Destro, Mindbender, and the Baroness escaped, and Cobra Commander fled with the aid of Starscream. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6

Beware the fearsome Cobra Vipers!

Operatives involved in this mission included Baroness, Cobra Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Firefly, Major Bludd, Storm Shadow, and Zartan.

Over the next two years, Cobra rebuilt itself. G.I. Joe continued to bedevil them, breaking up a weapons-smuggling ring and capturing the cyborgified Dreadnoks. Eventually, Cobra hatched a plan to gain access to Teletran 3, a computer that would give Cobra access to Cybertron's space bridge network, allowing for instantaneous troop and supply movements. G.I. Joe agent Chuckles discovered the plan, and led the team to Cobra's Boston headquarters. As the Joes attacked, they disrupted the gate, first sending the Joes, Cobras, and Starscream to Cybertron, and then scattering a number of Transformers throughout time. The time disruption threatened to destroy Earth, forcing Cobra to team up with G.I. Joe to retrieve the missing mechanoids.

Zartan, Storm Shadow, Lady Jaye, and Snake-Eyes were successful in retrieving Jazz, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Blitzwing from the 1970s, G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1 and the Baroness, Percy, Roadblock, and Beachhead barely managed to retrieve Optimus Prime and the Stunticons from 1930s Chicago. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2 Meanwhile, Tomax, Xamot, Mindbender, Barbecue, and Spirit found themselves in a nightmarish Decepticon-ruled future Earth. They were forced to take Ratchet back to the present against his will, andXamot was slain by Shockwave as soon as they returned to Cybertron. The Autobots were taken captive by Shockwave's Decepticons, the time gate was deactivated, and the Joes and Cobras were forced to flee. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #3 All seemed lost until Lady Jaye and Roadblock infiltrated the control center and reactivated the time gate, bringing Dusty, Shipwreck, Gung-Ho, and a Viper back - along with the fearsome Dinobots. The Dinobots routed Shockwave's forces, giving Joes and Cobras a safe passage home.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mindbender, who had been left on Earth, was arrested, but soon found himself enlisted to harness the power of Unicron by the enigmatic forces of Cobra-La! G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #4

Operatives involved in this mission included Baroness, Buzzer, Cobra Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Percy, Ripper, Storm Shadow, Tomax, Torch, Xamot, and Zartan.

Shut your face! YOUR FACE! FAAAACE!

While attacking Area 52 with the monstrous Cobratron, Cobra Commander infiltrated the base and activated the deadly Serpent O.R. in the hopes of controlling the powerful humanoid, The Art of War #1 only to have him escape to Cybertron The Art of War #2 and reunite the shattered Decepticon forces. The Art of War #3 Cobra Commander managed to briefly take mental control of Serpent O.R., but was rendered catatonic when he was exposed to the energies of the Matrix of Leadership. The Art of War #5

Operatives involved in this mission included Baroness, Cobra Commander, Doctor Knox, Zarana, and Zartan.

By the arrival of Unicron, a number of Cobra operatives had been captured by G.I. Joe, including Darklon, Overlord, Tomax. The Baroness, Destro, Doctor Mindbender, Firefly, Iron Klaw, and Zartan remained at large. Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2

Transformers vs. G.I. Joe

[edit]

Cobra was an ancient cult, founded around the worship of Koh-Buru-Lah. Though Cobra would use technology over the years, the writings of their deity had led them to venerate the organic over the technological. Expelled from the Garden In the closing days of the 20th century, Cobra Commander hired Destro as the group's exclusive arms dealer. Stick To Your Guns

By the late 20th century, Cobra had begun a war with G.I. Joe. When the brawling Starscream and Bumblebee intervened in a battle between the two human groups, it ended with Cobra Commander being presumed death. The Golden Boys With the Joes confident in their victory, they mopped up the grunts of Cobra unaware that the Serpentress, the rebranded Baroness was guiding Cobra behind the scenes. When the Decepticons arrived on Earth, Cobra secured an alliance with the invaders through their rescue of Laserbeak and Frenzy. I Saw Three Ships

Allied as "DeceptiCobra", the group attacked the USS Flagg only to fall into a Joe trap. Given their failures, Destro teleported himself to Cybertron to speak to Megatron. Funeral for a Friend The troopers later failed to stop Duke from using the M.A.S.S. Device. Form Follows Function

Having been granted the services of Mini-Megatron, Destro tried to kill the comatose Cobra Commander only to discover that the Commander had slipped away and left a Fred in his place. Let loose on the world, the Commander freed those that his former subordinates had tossed to G.I. Joe. Everybody Hates Metroplex Though acting independently, both factions of Cobra launched an attack on the United Nations, the Commander's faction reinforced by Koh-Buru-Lah itself. Expelled from the Garden

At Megatron's order, Cybertron collided with Earth, seemingly destroying the organic planet. Pax Megatronus Under the Serpentress's rule, Cobra reestablished themselves on Cybertron. Earth: R.I.P. Cobra Commander eventually made his way to the metallic planet and retook control of his organization. As the Decepticons fought the Autobot/Joe alliance, Cobra Commander bargained for ownership of the planet Mars from Megatron. Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12

Though Cobra helped the Decepticons against their mutual foes, the chaos of the battle quickly made them irrelevant. After the Commander had been killed, Cobra retreated to Venus to await the birth of the prophesied Cobra Emperor. The War Never Ends

Cobra was a long-lived, dangerous secret society turned world conquerors. Their exact history is a mass of fiction and lies, but we're pretty sure Dante Aligieri (yeah, that Dante) was part of it. The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb The U.S. military team G.I. Joe became aware of them around 2009 and the two groups fought a war that escalated to the point where Cobra nuked out Nanzhao, an atrocity second only to the Decepticon invasion in all of Earth history. Secret Raiders At their height, they even managed to create a moonbase called Section Sabine but when the Joes cut off Cobra's access to it, everyone at Sabine died slowly as the Joes couldn't afford to retrieve them. Enter the Shadow

By the mid-2010s, under Tomax Paoli's leadership, they attempted to publicly rebrand as 'peacekeepers'. This went tits up when Galibi and Schleteva went to war Crisis Intervention and in their moment of maximum weakness, Duke, Big Ben, and Isaac Craft struck hard and successfully cratered the organisation. (Snake-Eyes, spying within Cobra at the time, was forced to kill Craft to keep his cover) The Iron Klaw When the Joes were reinstated as an international counter-alien force, Cobra remained in ruins. Revolution Humble Bundle trading cards

"Neil, the bathroom's free. Unlike the country under the Thatcherite junta!"

Unknown to the world and indeed most of the eventually reformed G.I. Joe, the Baroness had been captured and was locked up without trial by Scarlett. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #2 Other former Cobra bigwigs remained at large: in 2017, Crystal Ball resurfaced in Inner Mongolia, radicalising local insurgents with the Dreadnoks G.I. Joe vol. 5 #1, while Major Bludd was caught running around with the Oktober Guard Crisis Intervention and totally-not-a-crim-guys Tomax Paoli took a job as CEO of I.R.O.N. on behalf of Count von Rani. The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb Section Sabine was taken over on the quiet by Doctor X. Enter the Shadow

To the surprise of the Joes, a brief check of Greek anarchists found they were starting to use Cobra's insignia as a symbol of their movement. Gung-Ho believed they were just trying to shock their elders but Scarlett duly interrogated Baroness for info; the terrorists claimed she knew nothing about any potential Cobra revival. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #2 The "Cobranarchist" organisers turned out to be Dire Wraiths and were violently put down. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #3G.I. Joe vol. 5 #4

Joe Colton and Professor X tried to get Tomax to take the mantle of Cobra Commander to fight the Revolutionaries The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb and he was eventually forced to do so. It didn't work too well! Strange Visitors

Baroness shockingly turned out to be lying about being unaware of the Cobra revival when the Cobranarchists and Dreadnoks freed her. A response by G.I. Joe stopped her from doing too much initial damage but she escaped to a newly constructed temple base, formally reviving Cobra with her as the new Cobra Commander! G.I. Joe vol. 5 #8G.I. Joe vol. 5 #9 While also working for the new Cobra, Destro and Dr Mindbender were helping their old enemy Colton in his anti-Transformer crusade. First Strike During that plot, Cobra Commaroness took advantage of the distracted Joes and not only absorbed V.E.N.O.M. into her ranks, she initiated a plan to steal artifacts that could be used to open a portal to Cobra-La. V.E.N.O.M. and their new combining robot were quickly sacrificed to pull the scheme off G.I. Joe: First StrikeM.A.S.K.: First Strike and with the portal open, Cobranarchists could be sent through and turned into/replaced by snake monsters dubbed Vipers.

Cobra goon Cesspool was taken in by the Joes and, fearing reprisals from the new Commander, snitched on the location of Cobra's new base: the North Pole, now partially melted and covered in dinosaurs! Scarlett's Strike Force #1

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

When the Transformers first made themselves known in 1984, some people speculated that they were a new breed of Cobra weaponry. Concurrently, the band Duran Duran promised that their single "Union of the Snake" had absolutely nothing to do with Cobra. Cultural Appropriation

At some point in the late 20th/early 21st century, Cobra was defeated. The controversial Operation Staple Gun saw 731 Cobra scientists, engineers, and technicians offered amnesty if they agreed to work for U.S. intelligence agencies in dealing with the increasingly violent and dangerous threat posed by the Transformers.
