One of my all-time favorite parts of the series was when Cobra Commander programmed those BATS to kill Serpentor and Sgt. Slaughter. Back in the day...I had Serpentor and his chariot. I had Slaughter and his tank. I had a B.A.T. figure (I LOVED the BATS) and I had three versions of Cobra Commander. Metal plated mask, hood mask, and fully armored CC. I was a goddamn fan. GI Joe: A Real American Hero. I watch it to this day on HUB Network.
@Dragonblack90 I remember a story that the writers for the show said they "really nailed" Cobra Commander's personality when "we stopped trying to make him out to be Adolf Hitler, and started making him more like Yosemite Sam."
Ooh, an ambiguous bag with a cobra symbol on it! Much more valuable than an ambiguous bag with a dollar sign on it! (Actually, it's probably just a bag full of Disney dollars... in change.)
Serpentor continuously bitch-slaps Cobra Commander. Anybody else picturing Serpentor sportin' a wife-beater and a 40? Get me a beer, bitch...this I command!!!
I always thought it was funny that Serpentor and Rodimus Prime were voiced by the same guy(Richard Gautier). Head villian on one show and hero on the other.
@2010thekingofkings Cause he was a whiny musclehead,who just screamed "This I command" all the time. He clearly had no brains or concept of military strategy as he never thought of any plots on his own. And for some reason everyone in Cobra, except for Cobra Commander, kissed his ass and were just his "Yes" men. The writers of this show had one of the coolest cartoon villians of all time in CC, and bumped him off his thrown for this joke. What were they thinking?
@DanimalBr Yes. . .and Serpentor validates Cobra Commander's assertion that Serpentor "does not have the experience to lead Cobra" and knows nothing of Cobra's strengths, weaknesses or strategies when Serpentor foolishly invades Washington D.C. His army even runs out of fuel and ammunition. This makes Serpentor realize that he is inexperienced and needs Cobra Commander as his second-in-command. I do like the addition of Serpentor since it helps to develop Cobra Commander's character.
@DanimalBr And makes Cobra Commander more sympathetic. Cobra Commander regains control of Cobra in the DIC series, but I wish the two would have had a decisive duel. According to the file card, Cobra Commander's Battle Armor suit makes Cobra Commander as powerful as Marvel's Iron Man. Cobra Commander could not physically challenge Serpentor before Cobra Commander gets the Battle Armor because Serpentor is a gentically enhanced being, while Cobra Commander is just a regular man.
@DanimalBr Cobra Commander may be a coward but at least he had BRAINS beside his ego while Serpentor is all MUSCLES AND EGO... the ultimate leader for Cobra would in my opinion have been a combination of Cobra Commander AND Serpentor...
Ugh, does anyone else loath Serpentor as much as I do? He should have lasted for maybe a few episodes before The CC got the best of him, made him out to be the overzealous tool he is, and then thrown him into lava or something. Instead they come up with some Super Snake movie and do The CC totally wrong.
@anon94707 I do. And let me tell you something, had SUNBOW not come up with that stupid movie, they still would've made more shows. I wanted CC in his Battle-armour to kick the living shit out of Serpentor. DiC did a fine job in getting CC back his balls, but it wasn't the same Serpentor I wanted to watch squeel before him.
@anon94707 Agreed. Serpentor was all style, no substance - a WORSE leader than Cobra Commander, who was at least capable of coming up with his own plans.
All Serpentor ever did was radiate self-confidence to the point of megalomania. It got him the adulation of Cobra, but it never actually HELPED.
@TheShadowwolf88 Kind of reminds me of Lex Luthor in Superman II. The Phantom Zone villains would fight Superman and smash everything to bits, then Luthor would just nonchalantly walk on the scene and fire off some hilarious one-liners.
Serpentor seems almost a bigger buffoon than Cobra Commander is in the cartoon!
In the comic he had a "slight" case off schizophrenia when the different parts off his mind started arguing on the best course off action during the Cobra civil war!
Heh, Cobra Commander tries to make Serpentor the figure head while he continues to lead... that's how it was in the comics. Ya know, maybe that's the shows way of showing it was taking a different route than the comics.
Serpentor was always a rather demanding person. "take the dog for a walk, THIS I COMMAND! Less start in my shirts, THIS I COMMAND!" And kind of funny the Baroness was absent for all of this craziness.
@dkupke , I would think that the baroness being as smart as she is she'd WANT to not be around for that. after all Serpentor could go as far as " Baroness, Zaranna! give me a lapdance in the nude! THIS I COMMAND!" and well you know how he gets!
5:18 did Cobra Commander really call Scrapiron a pussy?

Damn, that battle in the control room really turned into a cluster schtup.
Serpentor had perfect knowledge of everything else at birth, except for the definition of B.A.T.? How'd Mindbender forget to program that one in?
I guess Bush wasn't the one who invented preemptive strikes after all. Nice work, Hawk.
