I think Cobra needs to be written into the toyline as a far more dangerous threat then the last time we saw them in a 3-3/4" scale. Venom vs Valor had a storyline that was too campy. I think it might have worked better for a subset or side story, but not as a main story for an entire year. The whole animal DNA altered humans used as soldiers story isn't new. Not to mention it strayed even further from realism, and well the imagined realism is the fun of the line. Nothing extremely realistic, but "believable", if that makes any sense. Gijoe is known as a military fighting force, Venom Vs Valor made them look like zoo keepers.
So we need a Cobra that is up to date and at a cold war style stand off with the Joes. As the joes struggle to catch up with their technology, Destro's MARS division constantly cranks out even more advanced vehicles and equipment for cobra. More lethal vipers. Not just cannon fodder. Vipers that win. Make it more like Empire Strikes Back was for Star Wars; letting the bad guys get close to winning.
It is in this struggle between good and bad, and overwhelming odds that the heroism of the joe characters can be advanced and witnessed by kids. With cobras constantly increasing their edge, the joes are constantly trying to catch up. This means new and better things for both sides.
Just a thought. The new image. A joe team that strives and goes up against the overwhelming and ever advancing odds of cobra, and utilizes a unified effort to finally defeat cobra and pave peace for another day.
Oh and also, joes and cobras have been international to begin with, so I see nothing wrong with saying "A real international hero". The roster on both sides to begin with was international. Destro was Scottish. Baroness was European. Storm Shadow was Japanese. Same with Budo. Nunchuk was Italian. Etc.
