  • In various episodes from season2 many cobras already had enough of

    serpentor bs..The one episode i recall,destro,storm shadow,firefly,dreadnoks

    vipers,all meeting in private to start the coil for cobra commander return to power.

  • After watching all the crap Cobra Commander whent through in season 2 and the movie, this feels so good to watch : )

  • The only time I ever saw Destory not wearing his mask. I wonder why this time was any different?

  • Cobra Commander should have just put a dagger in Serpentor's heart and been done with him for good

  • @vh2k, actually there was a comic book series where he and Cobra Commander fought hand to hand and CC ended up kicking him off a roof to his death. He then shoots Mindbender dead shortly afterwards. I really wish I could post the pictures for you to see as the moment was so golden.

  • Serpentor is going to be seriously pissed after thissssss.

  • sounds like starscream

  • @250hollatchcabro That was because the voice actor who did Starscream's voice did Cobra Commander's as welll

  • I never understood how all of Cobra except for that one Alley Viper turned against Serprentor and went back to Cobra Commander as their leader again.

  • @360whiplash Same way all of Cobra turned against Cobra Commander and went to Serpentor.

  • @jrcarter9175 He must have bought them off.

  • @360whiplash its funny you say that because in gijoe the movie the baroness,destro and others hated cobra commander so much i guess the writer of this episode never watched the movie

  • @TransKingFormers Yeah, in the movie they really were more loyal to Serprentor and were even doing their best to protect him. And they completely blamed Cobra Commander for all their losses and treated him as an incompetent leader and were happy to be finally rid of him. Now it's the other way around and they're happy to have Cobra Commander back.

  • @360whiplash whats even more weird baroness wanted to get revenge on destro not serpentor on episode 1 of dragonfire and how stupid can serpentor have been to kept commander as a pet and i also like how they never mentioned nothing about cobra-la or how sgt slaughter never came out again in the dic series after this mini saga

  • @TransKingFormers Never saw that series.

  • @TransKingFormers, or probably they all got sick of Serpentor and decided they wanted CC back as he was way less obnoxious.

  • @360whiplash, I guessed they all got tired of Serpentor saying "This I Command" so many times.

  • Wow! I know I haven't seen the DIC version in years but the animation didn't age well.

    I always wondered what happened to Serpentor during this run now I know.

    Pity he didn't just merge him with the table.

  • The DIC GI Joe show is pure shit, BUT, I have to count it as Canon because they bitched out Serpentor & put THE Cobra Commander back on top!

    This is the ONLY moment in the entire show where I was like "YES! This is awesome!". And the best part? Serpentor has no dignity in his send off. None at all.

  • If this wasn't a kid's show, I bet the commander would've shot the alley viper for treason

  • "Fusing snakes to vehicles..."

    What?

  • Comment removed

  • What did Serpentor do for the python vipers to co-operate with Cobra Commander?

  • thought Serpentor had the strenght of ten men.......

  • The one shadow viper really had a mean streak. I like him.

  • The DIC show SUCKED when compared to the Sunbow show, but at least there was this ONE AWESOME MOMENT!!!! Cobra Commander humbles & humiliates that silly looking douche & throws him away like garbage. Thank God!

  • Commander vs Emperor... LOL

  • i cant understnad why ppl like cobra commander?he was such a coward but when they brought serpentor in.he was a true leader.nver ran from a fight. and he was the last one to leave a fight.such dumb ass bloggers

  • Yay! This should've happened in the original GI joe!

    

  • why were the Cobra leaders so gay? Everyone except Destro

  • @dangerousdave32179 because destro was black. automatic coolness. now i know he wasn't really, but in my mind as a kid when the toys first came out and the first series came out, he was.

  • COBRA is The Commander!!

    Hail Cobra Commander!!

    Fuck Serpentor!

  • @torisan999 Your logic makes sense. Serpentor was a loser. 

  • Wait... Earlier, the Pythonization process involved zapping a reptile then zapping a human (like Copperhead or all those Python Vipers standing around), which would simply give that human cool python-like cammo on his outfit. Now all of a sudden, it mutates the human (in this case, Serpentor). Huh?

  • I never liked serpentor. HE DOES NOT THINK!! That is why I stopped watching the show and stop buying the comic books. Never knew they DID get rid of this character.

  • Where do they get these cool names? Night Viper? Storm SAhadow? SEPENTOR!??

  • stupid! sorry, but that is my honest opinion of these lame modern DIC gi joe toons. The originals were better when I was a kid. Those were the good ol days. Hell yea Seprentor, as annoying and far fetched of a character as he was, woud have kicked all of those soldiers butts in no time flat. CC, even though he was a wimp, is way cooler than Serpentor. Serp was a spoiled rotten creation of Fenderbender. This I command got old after awhile. All braun, and definitely caca for brains! haha

  • There's only one thing missing that would have made this scene perfect. If only Serpentor's little bald ass kissing bitch, Doctor Mindbender had been there to see his precious leader get turned into an iguana. Then have Cobra Commander turn Mindbender into something fitting like maybe a toad, or better yet a jack ass.

  • Hey that's BS. Serpentor was the man. Didn't you see his rap video?

  • Yeah Baby!!! Fuck you, Serpantor. Long live Cobra Commander.

    While I never cared too much for the DIC series of G.I. Joe, they did do one thing right. They got rid of that god awful whiney bitch Serpantor and put the real leader of Cobra back in power.

  • this was the only thing I liked about the DIC version: it got rid of Serpentor. Although ideally Serpentor should have lasted about 5 episodes, then make a movie about how The CC reclaims his glory by throwing Serpentor into lava or something (and not getting totally wronged with that CobraLa crap). Then, with the success of a good GI Joe movie, the franchise wouldn't be taken over by DIC and start its decline. Oh well maybe next time.

  • @anon94707 Sorry, but Serpentor was the best cobra leader....THIS I COMMAND!!!!!

  • @lawmancpa Serpentor sucks mega balls. CC forevah!!!!!!

  • @PBKittyfriend you will say that Serpentor is the best.....THIS I COMMAND!!!! lol...I don't recall watching any of these DIC episodes. In season 2 of the original, Serpentor was powerful, cocky, confident....powerful. I enjoyed the phrase...THIS I COMMAND. This DIC serpentor does not have the anger, power or confidence. The original serpentor would've picked CC up and threw him out the building. But not this DIC wimp....pathetic.

  • @lawmancpa Serpentor became weak when he encountered the CobraLa. He was at their knees all along. But I felt sorry for Serpentor when I saw him being transformed. Did Cobra Commander always said it was temporary? Because I don't remember that. I thought the transformation was forever when a was a kid. Then I wonder why Serpentor screamed like it was forever. He screams just because Gnawgahyde said he would like flies forever? And why does Cobra Commander release him then? He could come back...

  • @ThalieXVII From what my understanding is, Serpentor will eventually turn back into human form, but he will still have the mental capacity of an iguana, which is why he will never lose his taste for flies. Basically he will no longer be a threat to Cobra Commander because he won't be the same. That's why he screams.

  • @lawmancpa i agree!

  • Serpentor never quite fit in to the series, he looks like a third string comic book villain. I know the villain's organization is called Cobra, but did it really need a jackass in a snake costume?

  • did Serpentor ever comeback or was that the last of him? I

  • @mastermonarch That was the last we saw of him in the cartoons. he was killed in the comics but he came back thanks to a new cloned body

  • @LordEd1976 He was killed far too easily in the comics...

  • @LordEd1976, yeah he and CC then fought with Cobra Commander kicking him off a building after blowing up a bomb in his face-golden moment.

  • @mastermonarch, he went into cartoon limbo and was never heard of again-Much like Scrappy Doo and various hated characters of the 80's and 90's( Too bad Snarf, Orko and Brainy Smurf didn't follow).

  • @kherubhm well put 

  • @mastermonarch, actually Serpentor resurfaced in the GI Joe: Renegades cartoon as a giant cobra created by Dr. Mindbender as a pet for Cobra Commander. At least as a snake he is less annoying and doesn't speak-thank god!

  • After the GI Joe movie, the cartoon series itself started to suck....bad

  • what in the...

  • i hope they put this series into the G I Joe series which is already on sale at best buy. season 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. season 2 comes out in apriL 27th 2010.

  • wow I forgot had bad it got

  • I don't know how Cobra Commander managed to overthrow Serprentor and regain power. He was basically demoted and then turned into a snake in the cartoon movie.

  • Apparently at the start of teh Dic series, cobra commander was turned back into a human.

    I don't now. I was living in (West) Germany at the time. I don't remember much of the Dic series thankfully.

  • Cobra Commander once appeared in a Transformers episode but as a character named Snake.

  • IN the Sunbow he had the stenght of ten men....not so in DIC....

  • Is the Alley Viper voiced by Jim Byrnes? It certainly sounds like him.

  • Serprentor had no patience at all, which made a poor leader compared to Cobra Commander.

  • its about time they put a in to that freaking fag it

  • I miss Chris Latta. :(

  • Cobra Commander >>> Serpentor.

  • These look alot better than the average DIC shows I saw. It's too bad I was too old to keep watching by then.

  • greatness

  • Thank god Serpentor is gone... No more of "THIS I COMMAND".... But I kind of like that line.

    x-DD

    ALL HAIL COBRA!

  • There will be no more Serpentor. And that includes the G.I. Joe movies. This, I command!

  • Maybe they used makeup?

    (I know, retcon difficulties were responsible for the discrepancies...)

  • cc rules

  • I do admit the Sunbow Joe blows away the DIC but I do believe that the very first episodes of DIC are still pretty good, including this. The music is still SUNBOW like and the storyline is still a little dark not too cartooony but there are traces in this that do show DIC direction. Also, if you look at the clip on youtube with Storm Shadow saving Snake Eyes that has DIC ALL OVER IT.

  • Surpentor was also more abusive against his own soldiers then CC and he didn't know when to quit fighting even if it meant fighting to the last man, CC knew when the battle was lost and he can always try again.

  • where did you live when it was on the air it was on during the middle of the 80's. Maybe it was not cindicated in your area.

  • YAY! NO more Serpentor! Hail Cobra Commander.

  • DiC at least did one thing right there...

  • Who wrote such silliness? So Cobra merges Pythons with vehicles to make a new unit dubbed python patrol? They couldn't just paint the vehicles an uniforms they had to merge organic reptiles unattainably to the machines and cloth? Did i really buy that as a kid?

  • Old cartoons often hade pretty stupid stuff in them.

  • In the Comics, he was meant to be a used Car Salesman, who was caught in a bad accident and was so disfiguured he needed to wear either a helmet or a hood. As a result, he hated the world and all humanity and so created Cobra, in order to take over the world.

    In the new live action Movie, the Rise of Cobra, Cobra Commander used to be Duke's best friend and had a job as a professional Scientist, but was caught in a laboratory accident and was horribly disfigured.

  • I like in the comics were Zartan's arrow shoots Serpentor in the neck and he bleeds to death. Meanwhile Cobra Commander has Dr. Mindbender and the other traitors killed.

    After the movie the animated series went downhill.

  • Thank you so much! That actually makes me very, very happy! I hated Serpentor! A great way to kill that ego-maniac! The comics are always better than the T.V. shows.

  • I hated Serpentor! I am glad Cobra Commander finally got back at him! However, why did Cobra all of a sudden side with him after the organization chose (and made) Serpentor to replace Cobra Commander because the latter was such a bad leader? What drove Baroness and Nogaheid to this?

  • Likely the fact that in the end, Serpentor was just as much as insane (in a more subtle way than Cobra Commander) and as much of a failure as a leader against the forces of GI Joe, as CC. Therefore, Destro, Baroness and Norgahide all decided to usurp Sepentor's control and put good old Cobra Commander back in charge of Cobra.

  • @Kaagh178, or better yet, they realized they all got sick of Serpentor when they realized that he was a bigger asshole than Cobra Commander ever was-even his creator Dr. Bend Over( I mean Mindbender) regretted that he created that he created him. Cobra Commander may have been an asshole as well but at least he was more tolerable.

  • They really wimped down serpentor in the DIC series- only ever watched a few episodes - enjoyed the comic book more.

  • what happened with serpentor after the reptile mutation ... will serpentor remutated into his human again?

  • It's never confirmed what happens to Serpentor, exactly. He was either hunted down and barbequed by Nogahide after this scene, or he changed back and lived out the rest of his unatural life as a swamp hermit eating flies. Personally, I think both fates suited him.

  • Why is Cobra Commanders skin white? In the movie they had him as a blue skinned alien with several eyes

  • I thought the same thing...this is DIC which is garbage...I wish sunbow would of just kept on making gijoe cartoons.

  • More relevantly, why does he go from scales without the uniform, to Caucasian with the uniform?

  • Bizarrely, after he gets changed by by Baroness in the DIC continuation, he becomes a green skinned scaly lizard like humanoid. However, strangely once he puts his helmet or hood on, white human like skin can be seen beneath. At least the transformation back to his normal self got rid of Cobra Commander's nasty face mutation (he grew an unnatural number of eyes on his face) that he had as a result of a laboratory Spore accident in Cobra La.

  • this was far worse than poochie's death on the simpsons.

  • You know what? GOOD! I hated Serpentor and always wanted to see Cobra Commander kick his ass XD

  • i second that. serpentor was annoying. with all his 'this i command' stuff.

  • Yea! Serpentor was more annoying than a motherfxcka!

  • @SheldonLee83 In "G.I. Joe: Renegades," Serpentor has been homaged as Cobra Commander's pet giant cobra which was created by Doctor Mindbender.

  • @SheldonLee83 me too

  • More the reason why the DIC series sucked.

  • the voice of Cobra Commander is the same of Starscream right???

  • Correct.

  • thanks...

  • Yeah Chris Latta. May he RIP

  • cosign..........a man that introduced a style and energy like no other! A brilliant man!

  • To bad he couldnt fight his demons. Cocaine. The only way to beat is never start it.

  • Yeah.

  • I liked Serpentor getting hit between the eyes with an arrow from Zartan better.

  • Please let me go. THIS I COMMAND!

  • gi joe jumped the shark here, THIS I REGRET.

  • i hated serpentor also

  • Hello to all GI Joe fans if you wanna collect the character such as plush doll, backpacks or etc just visit my channel and website..collect the character! buy now and save. buymeatoycompany

  • about time, serpentor is a bitch ass. long live cobra commander!

  • So much for his super human strenght.

  • YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Fuckin hated Serpentor!

  • This is the only DIC G.I. Joe I recognize because Cobra retook command.

  • cyber? check out muh profile and msg me on MSN!! K

  • i always like cobra comander i was not a big fan of seprentor i kinda think he ruined the series i guess they wanted to bring in some historys dictators in the cartoon by turing them into seprentor.

  • after the GI Joe animated movie the cartoon became really shitty?!  So how did Cobra Commander become human again?

  • Dic bought the rights from Hasbro. So it slowly became P.C. And he became human from the dragonfire. The dragon fire mini series aint to bad. it dose have some good points.

  • Serpentor is FUCKED FOR GOOD

  • Cobra Commander looks like shredder from ninja turtles on his suit.

  • I fuckin' hate Serpentor. In my eyes CC was always the original.

    Cheers,

  • 3:12 "Unlike this Toad-eating excuse for an alley viper." that's funny

  • I had the Serpentor toy!!! not this one though the gold one

  • Cobra looks like a power ranger in that outfit!

  • As a Cobra Commander fan this scene always brings a smile to my face.

  • God this is horrible writing. Why do we have to resurrect the past? I know a lot of people didn't like the movie, and I concede that Cobra-la was in many ways lame, but I liked Cobra Commander's tragic end. Should have left him dead and let the remaining generals of Cobra fight it out for succession.

  • There seem to be a lot of mixed opinions here. People are getting thumbs up for liking Serpentor and then others seem to get thumbs down. What's the deal?

  • This is after gi joe the movie. gr8 movie!

  • This episode always bothered me as a kid. I really liked Serpentor.

  • Yeah me too. Serpentor is what cobra really needs.

  • I thought he (Serpentor) had everyone in Check?!

  • i remember this

    it was apart of a 5 part episode that delt with the python patrol

    god i hated how serpentor was removed from the series

  • Holy COW I can't believe how awful this was. I was a big fan of the series but I never saw these episodes. I don't think I was even aware that there were episodes with Iron Grenadier Destro, let alone Night Vipers and Alley Vipers. Weird. Terrible quality.

  • Did they tell wether or not Serpentor changed back into a man? Plus Cobra didnt die cause he was in a later episode in GI Joe.

  • This is after the movie. Remember that Cobra Commander was changed from a snake to a man once more.

  • He was changed back into a man once Destro dumped her for Zaranna. Then Cobra came back and took over. Cobra Commander yes. Serpentor no.

  • Serpentor might've been the point at which G.I.Joe "jumped the shark."

    For that matter, he might've even been as ineffectual as our beloved Chris Latta/Cobra Commander (is there any other?! :D).

    But like I said months ago, this was an undignified ending; as I also pointed out, it was pretty clear Serpentor was DEAD before D.I.C. took over *groan*

  • I say they should have just used the comic death where in the heat of a civil war between Cobra forces, Zartan shot Serpentor in the throat.

  • Sounds good to me *nods*

  • In the comic I thought that Zartan shot him in the eye.

  • Thats right.. The Arrow hit him in the eye

  • Getting rid of Serpentor was the best idea yet.

  • yeah it serves him right for turning cobra commander to a snake

  • God...what crap dialogues. The best Gijoe years were between 82-87. Then it all went to hell.

  • bwahahahaha! take that serpentor! There is just one thing they messed up in their logic. Snakes do not eat flies they eat rodents and other vermin... or eggs. XD

  • So where is the the next Episode after this ONE?????

  • Plop plop, fizz fizz. Oh what a bad show this is.

  • Alley Vipers were so bad ass! I loved their color scheme.

  • 'Bout time Serpy got his!

  • "COOOOOBRA" classic original voice where is that guy? Optimus Prime has a gang of work throughout the years... p e a c e

  • Chris Latta died of an accidental overdose of Cancer medication.

  • Man, DIC sucked hard. They would've had a much better start had they actually paid attention to the GI Joe movie and, y'know, NOTICED THAT SERPENTOR BIT THE DUST! :D (Come on. We all know he wouldn't have survived.)

  • Yeah, I'm thinking this might be a phony Serpentor? Heh, maybe one of the Freds? Of course, I'd also like to pretend that it was a Fred who got turned into a snake.

  • True, but Sunbow really wasn't any better save for clearer art maybe.

  • The original Sunbow/Toei Season 3 had Tomax and Xamot reforming Cobra into a criminal cartel after Serpentor died, but Cobra Commander was still alive in the background.

    Yeah, that would have been a lot cooler.

  • Who was that Crimson Guard talking to Serpentor at the start, was that "Fred" by any chance?

  • his name is "scoop" and his family was killed by cobra , but he thought it was G.I.Joe . later in the show he learned it was cobra who killed them and swiched sides .

  • ah, yeah, I just remembered that after seeing the first few episodes after many years. It's too bad they didn't bring the "Fred" storyline into the cartoon. But I guess it would've been too complex for their target audidence. I mean we were all what, like 8 or 9 when the first one aired?

    Oy, I'm showing my age here. o_O

  • I was about 8 when the DIc Series came out in 89'

  • 8 in 89 i was about 13 in 89 and i remember all the sunbow shows

  • Wow, it's been 16 years since I seen the "third season" of GI Joe, and I've forgotten how terrible it was. What was up with Serpentor, his new voice actor sucked! And Cobra Commanders third costume was pretty retarded as well.

  • Do you have the rest of this ep?

  • What happened to Serpentor's special ways with snakes? For all they knew, h
