The guy who wrote them, Larry Hama, is a Vietnam vet so he knows military stuff, and wanted to write the comics with proper character development and running plotlines instead of just going where the fence was lowest and doing a bunch of toy commercials (although it's often obvious where the higher ups told him he had to somehow insert the newest toy into the comic, whether it makes any sense or not; I think the best example is Cobra Commander showing up driving the Pogo Ballistic Pod thing for all of two pages before it gets blown up).

Plus Cobra under their shell companies Arbco and the like, make a ton of money. Tomax and Xamot are not just the leaders of the Crimson Guard, they are also the co-CEOS of many of the businesses that Cobra runs.

O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)05:29:01 No.67235029 >>67232801 Destro's wealth wouldn't directly benefit Cobra, though, as he's an independent agent. He owns an arms manufactoring company and is unscrupulous enough to sell weapons to anyone with the cash, including international terrorist organizations. And since that makes him the only major arms manufacturer willing to sell directly to Cobra, Cobra ends up being his biggest customer. He maintains close ties to Cobra because of that, but Cobra still has to pay him for all the weapons he procures for them. Eventually Destro even builds his own private military force (the Iron Grenadiers) and reduces his ties with Cobra.

Original Cobra Commander also listened to his underlings and took their advice into consideration, rewarded loyalty, and didn't tend to punish underlings for failures that they had no actual control over. He was also a MUCH better leader than Serpentor because he had a much better grasp of strategy and logistics (Serpentor was just "Attack! Attack! Attack!") and always made sure to incorporate a way out into his plans, never overcommitting Cobra's forces. And Serpentor never listened to anyone unless they already agreed with him, and sometimes not even then, utterly convinced of his own superiority. Cobra Commander was evil, but he was a pretty good leader. Y'know, within the context of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

They have shell companies that funnel them money through nearly untraceable means, as well as people infiltrated into various large companies and government organizations that can discreetly move money to them and hide the paper trail. One of the requirements for joining the Crimson Guard, Cobra's elite troops, is to have a degree in law or financing specifically because the CGs also double as their elite spies and infiltrators. O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)03:07:15 No.67234047 >>67233782 GI Joes has a suprizingly deep lore in the comics, at least (the TV series..not so much). The guy who wrote them, Larry Hama, is a Vietnam vet so he knows military stuff, and wanted to write the comics with proper character development and running plotlines instead of just going where the fence was lowest and doing a bunch of toy commercials (although it's often obvious where the higher ups told him he had to somehow insert the newest toy into the comic, whether it makes any sense or not; I think the best example is Cobra Commander showing up driving the Pogo Ballistic Pod thing for all of two pages before it gets blown up). O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)03:12:32 No.67234097 >>67233970 Isn't one of the other running themes about Cobra is that while GI Joe always manages to f--- up all his big plans, they can never catch all the little plans he's got going, which always end up growing into more big plans?

Plus Cobra under their shell companies Arbco and the like, make a ton of money. Tomax and Xamot are not just the leaders of the Crimson Guard, they are also the co-CEOS of many of the businesses that Cobra runs. Frankly Cobra has enough fingers in enough pies that if the corporations Cobra owns were taken down they would cause the economic collapse of the US and several other nations as wellI. Frankly Cobra could do a better job of taking over the world through their various legitimate businesses than through their terrorist activities. O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)05:29:01 No.67235029 >>67232801 Destro's wealth wouldn't directly benefit Cobra, though, as he's an independent agent. He owns an arms manufactoring company and is unscrupulous enough to sell weapons to anyone with the cash, including international terrorist organizations. And since that makes him the only major arms manufacturer willing to sell directly to Cobra, Cobra ends up being his biggest customer. He maintains close ties to Cobra because of that, but Cobra still has to pay him for all the weapons he procures for them. Eventually Destro even builds his own private military force (the Iron Grenadiers) and reduces his ties with Cobra. O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)05:31:53 No.67235042 >>67234974 What exactly do Cobra terrorist ops DO anyway?

Blow it up? >>67275274 That would be pretty funny if collateral damage was actually Cobra's primary goal since let's be honest there are much easier ways to destroy the Statue of Liberty than jetpacking their own Commander in with a ridiculous time bomb. They could have just used a rocket and killed all the Joe's conveniently waiting in the torch. Or since they had a ship overhead just dropped bombs. It's too easy to imagine some senator saying, "Well sure the GI Joe team defeated Cobra but look at how much damage was caused by blowing up that ship.

O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)11:02:30 No.67237722 >>67237631 Actually now that I think on it, whenever Cobra Commander himself came up with a plan in the original cartoon he tended to almost win, and the Joes frequently pulled victory out from their ass through blind luck rather than actual skill. Original Cobra Commander also listened to his underlings and took their advice into consideration, rewarded loyalty, and didn't tend to punish underlings for failures that they had no actual control over. He was also a MUCH better leader than Serpentor because he had a much better grasp of strategy and logistics (Serpentor was just "Attack! Attack! Attack!") and always made sure to incorporate a way out into his plans, never overcommitting Cobra's forces. And Serpentor never listened to anyone unless they already agreed with him, and sometimes not even then, utterly convinced of his own superiority. Cobra Commander was evil, but he was a pretty good leader. Y'know, within the context of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Cobra's stated mission is to defend the common man from those that would take from him what's rightfully his, and to hold accountable those that skim the law for their own gain.

This actually works in Cobra's favor as perfectly functional, if not honest, soldiers get handed pink slips as a result and some decide to join COBRA out of spite.

Someone like him to handle our top-secret missions for us. A man who combines the qualities of a soldier and an agent. he also can be picked because this is a patriotic toy series, which could use some token yellow peril bad guy in the current year O Anonymous 07/13/19(Sat)15:07:58 No.67240482 I'm kind of surprized that given the 80 and 90s nostalgia and the seeming return of the trend to make a tabletop RPG of just about anything, we haven't seen a GI JOE RPG. I mean, it pretty much writes itself. The comic and the cartoon usually featured small team of Joes (suitable for a player group size) conducting special missions, and you could easily write a system of making your own Joes, rolling up some stats, giving them a primary and secondary specialization like the file cards always had, and handing them some wargear (i.e. the equipment the toy would've come with).
