For me every issue following the attack on the pit story in issues130-134, where horrible. I did like Andrew Wildman's art in issues 120-134, all other artist that followed where bad. yes through out the entire run there were parts that were up and down but the complete dimise of the series and toy line was happening around this time '91-'92.

Yeah, that green outfit was just an eyesore. What were they thinking? Blugh! And let's not forget the orange (or was it red?) mohawked version of Zartan.

First blow was the death of the original Cobra Commander. They were adamanted he was dead, ticking off a lot fans. Still, the shake up of that made some good stories.
Then the next blow was the Snake Eyes trilogy. Okay, so now Baroness and Destro are tied to Snake-Eyes' past? Then the original Cobra Commander came back (a mistake IMHO), killed off a lot of supporting Cobra characters, The cobra infighting was reduced to Cobra Commander and Destro, who became more and more a good guy, along with Baroness and Zartan. Basically Cobra was gutted. The last decent story arc was Cobra Commander going after Destro. And even that ended with the intro of Ninja Force. |

Basically anything including and past the Ninjafest should be forgotten. The shifting allegiances (destro, Baroness, Zartan, Storm Shadow, Billy) really got tiresome and trying to incorporate the new lines of Ninja Force and Star Brigade made the freighter retcons believeable (Firefly, Mindbender and Zartan).

i didn't actually ind the baroness part so much, in that the way it all hooked together through the Plastic Surgeon that fixed her back in the 20s, it had a reasonably organic logic to it, but then when they hooked Destro in at the end it totally killed my suspension of disbelief...
