It's time for the 4th edition. If you would like to catch up, here are the past editions:
Intro: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1836 Tiger Force: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1895 Dreadnoks: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1963 In this 4th edition I will talk about the power struggles within Cobra during my Joeworld. It will be broken down into 4 main eras. It will involve Cobra Commander, Major Bludd and most Cobra leaders. It will mostly show the struggle between Destro and Serpentor. In the beginning of my Joeworld I didn't have Destro or Baroness. The leaders were Cobra Commander and Major Bludd. Major Bludd was one of my favorite characters of all time. He was the backbone of my Cobra. CC would give all important orders to Major Bludd and Zartan. As I said in the 3rd edition, Zartan and the Dreadnoks were the most powerful Cobra organization and often acted on its own. Therefore Major Bludd was the most powerful leader that was strictly with Cobra. Next were the Crimson Twins and then Storm Shadow. This is how Cobra was setup in the early days of my Joeworld. I was never a huge fan of CC, mainly because of how he was portrayed in the toon. He was usually in the background and Major Bludd was leading the fight. This was about to change with 1986 figures. The 2nd era of my Cobra was a fun one. This is when Serpentor and Dr. Mindbender came in. I was a huge fan of Serpentor as a child. I loved ASA and felt he was a great addition to Cobra. I of course recreated ASA and Serpentor took over Cobra. During this time in Cobra, Serpentor was the leader and Major Bludd was his right hand. Major Bludd even imprisoned CC and took control of the Terrordome. Serpentor still used Zartan and his Dreadnoks. However most of the time he would lead the battles with Major Bludd. This would go on for several years. Tomax and Xamot were loyal to Serpentor as was Mindbender. The only man who was disloyal was Storm Shadow. Storm Shadow created a plan to rescue CC. He was successful with Scrap Irons help. They lived in hiding for a long time. Finally they were discovered and Major Bludd executed Storm Shadow. This may be a shock to some but Storm Shadow was never a favorite of mine. He would remain dead until I got his V2 and he rejoined Cobra. The 3rd era was incredible. I got the Cobra figure that I had wanted the most, Destro. I was one of the happiest people in the world when the IG Destro came. The first thing I did was recreate Joe moments that I could never do, this was something I did all the time and were different from my Joeworld. Getting Destro was the beginning of my Cobra Civil War in my Joeworld. Destro took his Iron Grenadier army and rescued CC. Destros head of Command was CC, Voltar, Storm Shadow and Darklon. They would have many battles with Mindbender, Major Bludd and the Twins. G.I. Joe was hardly ever involved with the Civil War. The Joes were fighting the Dreadnoks during this time. The Dreadnoks were never involved with the War. Zartan said that he would be loyal to whoever won. Destro and Serpentor would have many battles. The turning point of the War was when Destro was able to gain control of the Terrordome. At this time Serpentor was desperate and led an all out attack. Major Bludd warned him not to do it, however there was no stopping him. Many troopers died and many B.A.T.'s were destroyed. In the end, it came down to a sword fight between Destro and Serpentor. Destro killed Serpentor and the War was over. After the final battle, Destro would take full control of Cobra and never lose it. The 4th era was all Destro's. With Serpentor dead his only real threat was CC. Destro ordered that CC be killed. Major Bludd was the man to do it. He sniped CC in the back the head in front of Destro. Destro immediately put Major Bludd 2nd in charge, and he would stay there until the end of my Joeworld. Destro had full control of Cobra. He made Voltar the leader of the Iron Grenadier army. This was Destro's elite force that he used whenever there was an important situation. He had the trust of Zartan and his Dreadnoks and called them when the Joes were too much. He placed Major Bludd in control of Cobra's main army. With these 3 huge army's and Destro leading them all, Cobra was unstoppable. They gave the Joes many problems. After a while I would started to refer Destro as the Cobra Emperor. Here is a few links from YoJoe to some of the main leaders in my Joeworld: http://yojoe.com/action/83/majorbludd.shtml http://yojoe.com/action/84/cobracommander2.shtml http://yojoe.com/action/84/zartan.shtml http://yojoe.com/action/86/serpentor.shtml http://yojoe.com/action/88/destro2.shtml The 5th edition will come soon! Again this is something I'm doing to reflect on my experience with G.I. JOE as a child. I'm doing this here because I think some of you might enjoy it. If you guys don't, or if it bothers you or you think it's stupid please let me know. I won't continue to do this. |
