ok so here is the deal, this is not a contest , just something for fun.
Im working on a personal project that is an alternate universe For the Joes, In this world the Gi Joe team acts as a enforcement agency for bloated corporations and Totalitarian world spanning governments, (the decision to take the real "american" hero aspect out of the ROC movie prompted this.) Cobra plays the part of an International Underground group of freedom fighters trying to topple the world government and return the world to freedom. ( if thats even possible at this point). So thats the Idea, make Joe baddies and Cobra heroes. they can be Cobra versions of Joe characters , or vice versa, I envision the Joes using super high tech equipment and Cobra using what ever they can build find or steal. Go wild with this!

uhm.... Why not just make the Joes the underground guys and Cobra the corporate guys?
Not quite sure I understand the change up. Are you switching personalities around? So Cobra Commander isn't this ruthless terrorist, he's actually a good guy?

Mostly this is because the Joes now being part of an "International peace keeping force" is just a little to Gestapo for my taste. I am looking at it from the grey side of things , Cobra is the anti-establishment "protagonist" group and Joe is the oppressive "PEACE" keepers. who enforce corporate and government dictates.

Okay, but wouldn't it still work better and not have to alter any of the core personality traits of the Joes if they were the underground forces and Cobra (which would more easily fit the mold, with their army forces) the corporate stooge armies?

Ok if that assaults your sensibilities lets look at it from this perspective...
Lets follow the original storyline to today. Almost all of the original Joes were Vietnam Vets right? so that would put them in their late 50's early 60's they have either retired taken up advisory roles or command. At some point the Gi.Joe Team ceased being America's Anti terrorist force and became a "World peace keeping force" This led to more bureaucracy and red tape and eventually meant they were used to secure Corporate and Government "Interests" all over the globe. new blood is recruited and GI.joe is basically become Blackwater. The older Joes see this happening and can do nothing about it, so the do the next logical thing, they back the other side. The Original Cobra Commander is long dead, The New Cobra Commander is a Ghost, no one knows who he is. Destro still sells arms, But Mars is mostly been absorbed by Gijoe. Hence the High tech angle. Go nuts, where is Snake eyes? is he now a master training Gijoe Ninja assassin squads? or is he training Cobra operatives ... where is the Original Duke? is there a new one? are the Code names just that Codenames? is there a whole new team? Are the Older Joes dead , alive , and who do the work for?
