hmm ok nope but one interesting thing, it just says "Cobra Pilot" in the toy fair catalog so Copperhead did not have a name yet. That could be a reason why Hama did not use him, and by the time he could, that ship had sailed?
Toy Fair catalogs - 3DJOES
Huh - great find. That seems the most likely answer for the Copperhead question. That always bothered me - great file card, a vehicle that got decent comic time, but Copperhead never made a single ARAH appearance.
Moving on, re-reading these issues ~30 years later gives a great glimpse into social norms. The DOD was still a scorned institution, and it took time to turn that sentiment around. As for mindless sitcoms, that pretty much sums up the '80's!
I too enjoyed the "bicycle repair kit" moment. Those things have all sorts of uses. Loved the 'gator poacher! In retrospect, I had a momentary thought that there could have been a subsequent tie-in with some of Muskrat's family (heck - this title is based on ridiculous family connections (maybe Snake Eyes or Cobra Commander are really Kevin Bacon!), but it's the wrong state.
