By the year 2006, Cobra had been defeated and Cobra Commander, now going by the oh-so-creative alias of "Snake", was left with little to do to pass the time. A mob boss named Victor Drath hired Snake to teach him the secret of synthoid technology so that he might use it against the Autobots. Cobra Commander took the job and used the synthoid technology to craft "human" bodies for Rodimus Prime, Arcee, Springer, Kup and Ultra Magnus, trapping them inside. Eventually, the Autobots managed to return to their original Cybertronian bodies and Victor Drath and his gang were arrested.
However, Snake managed to escape. As he walked into the sunset, his departing words were "They just don't make terrorists like they used to!", followed by (most of) the Cobra battlecry, which was unfortunately cut short by a coughing fit.
