Nice set up.
What about the Range-Vipers then under Skull-Buster?
There is also Snow Serpent Commander, and they even made a Lampreys officer but I'd say Guillotine would be a better choice.
I like the Wyverns idea. One problem I have with Maj Bludd is that he seems more like a General. In my verse he's Major General Bludd. I agree Cobra is way way top heavy! But it is what it is. Not sure how big Cobra should be, but its pretty big and they hand out ranks like free samples of Viagra.
Major(Gen) Bludd and Firefly and Zartan are all paid and treated like Generals, should they lead troops. Bludd does so more often. I treat him as the Commander of the Infantry Forces anyway. Scrap-Iron and Copperhead are Colonels. SCrap-Iron stopped working for Destro 20 years ago.
Firefly and Maj Bludd have been employed for so long they don't really work for anyone else. Although Firefly rarely leads troop sizes large enough to be a General, he carries that rank and all its pay. It's more like a government equivalent. There are CIA agents that plan with generals and Colonels and their GS grades make them equivalents. Plus My Cobra Army is also a Mercenary Army so it's useful to rank as high or higher as the local commanders you are assisting. I'm debating whether I should convert some of the top half to Government titles.
Many of the named Cobras are at least (0-5) Commander.
So Rip-It, Skull-buster, Claymore, Snow-Serpent Commander are all (0-5), and they are as ruthless and tough as Cobra has.
The rank of (0-4) Major is about as high as a faceless Cobra gets.
Cobra Drivers are (0-2)Lts
The various other Cobra Officers and Neo-vipers and Hiss drivers are Captains or Majors or Lt. depending on which ever I have the most or least of. The more I have the lower the rank.
To become an officer in any unit of Cobra you just have to be the most ruthless guy around. It's more of a title than anything else. You get paid more but you have to answer to someone above and battlefield executions of officers are common. So any Cobra Officer is not afraid of anyone.
