Updraft...officers fly helicopter too. you can be one or the other just depends on the career track you go.
I don't trust the rank equivalents for cobras...remember it has been mentioned in filecards and comics that cobra officer ranks are just honorary titles among troopers...squad leader equivalents at the most...corporals, sergeants, etc. and that real ranks/promotions occur when they become Vipers and Specialist Vipers. In my Joeverse Vipers are my platoon leaders, officers are squad leaders & platoon sergeants, troopers are grunts. Then i have a platoon of vipers that are Sergeants up to Officers. Specialty Vipers are interwoven in these units. I hate Neo-Vipers but If i were to include them I would say they would be Warrent Officers and Captains+. Mercenaries like Firefly have no rank they are contractors and generally have command over troops as Cobra Commander dictates. Destro I've always gathered from comics is more of a Business partner than CC's general but as partner and mercenary he is under CC. I hate serpentor. |

I tried that in the past but it seemed that Hasbro came out with a new version every other week and I had to change my line up. especially the two-pack VvV.
With the 25th Mold i got to restart my CobraVerse. |

Speaking of file cards, did anyone notice that Deep Six's file card from the Senior Ranking Officer set cuts off mid sentence on his personal quote?

So here's something that hasn't been brought up. What rank equivalency would you assign to various Cobra profiles? Based on skill, specialities, education and persona I've come up with the following educated guesses:
Serpentor: Emperor (obvious) Cobra Commander: Commander-in-Chief (on file card) Destro: O8-O10 (definitely general status) Voltar: O7 (he's Destro's general) Baroness O5-O6? Dr Mindbender O5-O6? HISS Driver O5 (on file card) Tomax O5 (must be higher than Cobra Officer) Xamot O5 Major Bludd O4 (obviously) Cobra Officer O4 (on file card) Rip It O1 (on file card) Zartan E6-E8 Storm Shadow E5 (same as Snake-Eyes) Firefly E5 Scrap Iron E5 Cobra Trooper E4 (on file card) Now the top of the Hierachy is much like this: (keep in mind no one has ever died in my Cobraverse) Cobra Commander = King Serpentor = Emperor More or less equivalents although they try not to occupy the same space. CC hangs at Cobra Island mostly, Serpentor tries to do most of the fighting since he is a better stategist. CC is a better money maker. Destro = Marshall (0-10) Generals Overlord Tomax Xamot Gen. Mayhem (0-9) Lt. Generals Baroness Darklon Dr. Minbender Black Dragon Cesspool (0-8) Maj Generals Maj Gen Bludd Voltar Storm Shadow Dr. Venom Zartan Headman (0-7) Brig Generals Firefly Wild Weasel Alexander Destro Hannibal Interrogator CLAWS Commander (0-6)Colonels Mortal Scrap-Iron Night Creeper Leader Gristle Red Laser Venomus Maximus Big Boa Overkill Scalpel (0-5) Lt. Colonels Guillotine Snow Serpent Commander SkullBuster Cooperhead Zarana Lt Col Claymore Slice Rip It Crystal ball Escorpio Voador Neo-Viper Commander (0-4) Majors Zandar Dr. Knox Hotwire Skycreeper BLackout Croc Master Raptor Metal-Head Neuro toxin Razorclaw GhostBear Coil Crusher Hopefully that's everyone. Firefly and Maj Bludd have been employed for so long they don't really work for anyone else. Although Firefly rarely leads troop sizes large enough to be a General, he carries that rank and all its pay. It's more like a government equivalent. There are CIA agents that plan with generals and Colonels and their GS grades make them equivalents. Like most Terrorist organizations, Cobra doesn't have government ranks, but they hand out military titles like free taffy. Plus My Cobra Army is also a Mercenary Army so it's useful to rank as high or higher as the local commanders you are assisting. I mostly disregard the ranks we were given. I have one (0-6) Viper (Gold Sonic Viper) I use all the Version 1 styled Cobra Commanders as Cobra Colonels. Cobra Drivers are (0-2)Lts The various other Cobra Officers and Neo-vipers and Hiss drivers are Captains or Majors or Lt. depending on which ever I have the most or least of. The more I have the lower the rank. All Specialty Vipers are at least E-5 sgts. Range-Vipers and Alley-Vipers and Para-vipers and Snow Serpents are all E-7. There are no Warrant Officers but a lot of Sgt Majors. All Dreadnoks are paid as Sgt Majors except Buzzer who is a Capt. Pilots are a little different. But since they don't command troops they are not really in charge of anyone but themselves. Wild Weasel is the exception. |
