not sure which interpretation i like better: - destro knows only a certain percentage of material will be sent correctly by the jank-rear end teleporter. so he brings along a bunch of mooks to be the percentage that gets terminally hosed up - destro knows only he can survive the jank-rear end teleporter. so he brings along a bunch of mooks to graphically illustrate that he is a bad enough dude that he can survive the jank-rear end teleporter.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I love that COBRA has a teleporter but it sucks and they can rarely ever get it to work properly, and it usually has some wild side effects even when it does. The IDW comics had a whole arc with it where they pulled off all kinds of crazy poo poo including establishing a moonbase, and when the Joes destroyed the M.A.S.S. device at the end of it the entire staff were left stranded, and had bulldozed a bunch of moon dust into a giant 'HELP'. It doesn't come up again until way later in a big crossover event when Dr X has taken over the place (with access to more reliable Cybertronian space bridges) and it's full of desiccated COBRA corpses. Dr. X: Come on up Honest X's Like-New Space Bridges! Located for your convenience at the corner of The Moon and Space! Our products are available at steep discounts! We own our own finance company!

You might be conflating the Crimson Guardsmen with something. In the cartoon they're just 'Cobra soldiers, but in red' but in the comic they're Cobra's infiltration troops, but what they infiltrate is law and accounting firms. They all have MBAs or are CPAs or passed the bar.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Cobra Commander's original origin story has him start out as a door to door salesman. I think that version flat out has him start a pyramid scheme that grows so successful it attracts the attention of terrorists, arms dealers and major corporations, they all realise they want pretty much the same thing and no one can tell exactly when it snowballed into a supervillain group. yeah. basicaly his brother comes home from vietnam and gets shitface/sucidal and rams dies in a car accident and it makes CC hate america or something so he quietly takes over a town and quietly gets all types of chuds or tankies or whatever shitheads he can find to build up an army, twistedmentat posted:They are all called Fred and all have plastic surgery to look the same too. There was a brief time where Cobra Commander was aparently killed by one, and replaced, which lead to the Cobra Civil War. only some are fred. its like different sections and divisions and ones fred line. also replacement freds.
