Brazilian "Iron Grenadier Destro":
Destro ‘Right Handed / Dexterous’ (Destro v.2) - LÃ*der da Força Destro e piloto do V.I.B.O.R.A. ‘Leader of the Destro Force and pilot of the V.I.B.O.R.A.’ (‘VIPER’ - VeÃ*culo Individual de Batalhas, Ofensivas e Reconhecimento Aereos ‘Individual Battle Vehicle, Offensive and Air Recognition’ or ‘Single Battles Vehicle, offensive and Aereos Recognition’) [Destro’s Despoiler] Specialization: Designer of weapons. From father to son, the tradition of clan Destro has been maintained with the same lack of scruples; the sale of weapons to allies and enemies! The steel mask, and sword and the hierarchal mantle of Destro are the heritage of an ancestor who, captured, was sentenced to wear [a] mask the rest of his days. And since then, the mask of steel has become [a] nefarious symbol of Destro Force! Destro also has high-technology equipment: • Infra-black laser pistol, the left boot; • Girdle [or, belt] of paralyzing fiber optics; • Emitter of nuclear resonance. Well, those last 3 items are sure an exciting addition to Destro's arsenal, aren't they? |

Nuclear resonance?
That Destro died of cancer. Though his fiber-optics version of "Spanx" turned out to be a hit years later. |

Volanter [from volante ‘steering wheel’] (Blocker) - Piloto do Força 2000 - A.T.A.C. ‘Driver of Force 2000 - A.T.A.C.’ (Alta Tecnologia Aplicada em Combates ‘High Applied Technology in Fighting’) [Eliminator Jeep]
Specialization: Fast attacks specialist. [A] Born wheelsman, Volanter has the reasoning of a strategist and the boldness of a hero! • Helmet with sound amplification system; • Left boot with mine device; • Belts with atomic power generators. Superfast, Volanter leads the A.T.A.C. as a bolide [explosive meteor] Formula 1. The other Commandos always say that he does not drive a mile a minute [lit., a thousand per hour], but, two thousand per hour! Guess why he is in Force 2000? |

Kaptor (Dodger) - Piloto do Força 2000 - U.L.T.R.A. ‘Driver of Force 2000 – U.L.T.R.A.’ (Unidade Laser com Tanque e Rastreador Avançados ‘Laser Unit with Tank and Advanced Tracker’) [Marauder Half-Track / Motorcycle Tank]
Specialization: Wheelsman of armored vehicles. Expert in electronics, Kaptor has advanced equipment: • Infrared sensor for night detection, in helmet; • Operation intercom to U.L.T.R.A. vehicle; • 3 wrist viewers: for the infrared sensor, for the photo-ultrasonic rifle and thermal detection. With the support of all this technology, Kaptor is invincible! But, what if the computer that controls everything fails? All good, Kaptor is programmed to vanquish in any shape and this is part of Force 2000! I couldn't find a translation for "Kaptor", but I'm assuming it's a variation of 'captor' (like when Iron Claw is spelled "Iron Klaw" in "G.I. Joe: Extreme"...

Sci-Fi - Atirador Laser ‘Laser Shooter’ / Piloto do Helijato de Caça ‘Pilot of the Hunt / Hunting Helicopter’ [Skystorm X-Wing Chopper]
Since childhood, fond of science fiction, Sci-Fi lived, as they said, a step ahead of his time. More fanatical, impossible! Comic books, movies, everything had to be futuristic! It was breached [fissured / cracked] by the advances of science. To join the Commandos, he brought a fantastic baggage of knowledge of the most advanced laser artillery techniques. Today, fighting the Cobras, he lives in full science fiction, streaking the darkness with the green beam of his laser rifle. Two interesting things here: 1. Since Sci-Fi looks somewhat like a pilot, his "secondary specialty" is cavalierly thrown in as the pilot of the "Brazilain X-Wing Chopper" (replacing Windmill). 2. The Cobras may shoot blue lasers; and the Joes may shoot red; but Sci-Fi shoots only green! |

Monkeywrench - Cobra Explosivos ‘Cobra Explosives’ / Piloto do Triforça de Destruição ‘Pilot of the Tri-force of Destruction’ [Cobra Maggot]
“I dropped these a**hole metal-heads when I entered the pre-primary. The maximum that they do is go out costumed and to give a hysteric squeal... And think that scares someone. And I am out!” And, [a] boy still, Monkeywrench went in search of stronger emotions. How to explode gasoline bombs just to see those automobiles go wrinkling up even if transforming a lot of old iron. Better than that, alone throws grenades to make mincemeat of [the] Commandos. And still on top [of this], bill the big [lit., black] bucks over the Cobras. Yes! This is the first file-card I've ever seen use an actual swear word! Believe me, I checked it several times. There is no other translation I could find! Wow. Also: I'm assuming that the quote was from someone who used to hang with Monkeywrench when he was younger. There was quite a bit of slang and I tried my best to get the feel of it. Edit: Now that I think about it, the quote might be from Monkeywrench himself, who dropped his juvenile gang because they were too "tame". Last edited by seaneley; 09-03-2016 at 02:51 AM.. |

Tele-Viper - Cobra Telecomunicações ‘Cobra Telecommunications’ / Piloto do Aerocóptero de ExtermÃ*nio ‘Pilot of the Air-Copter Extermination / Killing’ [Cobra Mamba]
[The] Cobra-Telecommunications was a quiet technician repairman of radios and televisions in his town. Talented, lived inventing new gadgets, but everyone laughed at his follies. One day, he adapted a repaired radio, a transmitter that interfered with the programming of the stations for transmissions pirates. His customer found [it] fantastic… it was a Cobra fighter! Taken by him, [he] now heads the Division of Cobra Telecommunications. Is there that he uses his genius to streamline communications of Cobras and, at the same time, sabotage the transmissions of [the] Commandos! Hmmm... The name of the "head Brazilian Tele-Viper" is actually "Tele-Viper." Maybe he was the first... He's also certified to fly the "Brazilain Mamba" for some reason. I'm guessing because he looks like a pilot in some aspects. Last edited by seaneley; 09-02-2016 at 07:20 PM.. |

I'm guessing it was because the vehicles didn't included figures. LOL.
Brazil's Cobra is collection of life-long thugs, mocked tech nerds, unscrupulous arms dealers, sideshow rejects and conmen. So just like American Cobra. LOL. |

So here's the file-card for "Brazilian Mainframe." Apparently he did not join the team through regular military channels. LOL.
Mainframe - Especialista em Computação ‘Computer Specialist’ For Mainframe, the most complicated programs were like adding two and two! From [a] video game even penetrating the intricate computer systems of Commandos’ Headquarters was a skip. Which fell like a million megaton bomb in HQ! When the alarm sounded, no one doubted that, this time, the Cobras had succeeded and already knew vital secrets. Locating the sponsor [i.e., responsible one], his only words were: “It was the way I found you guys to convene [with] me… After all, I am only an expert in data processing.” His modesty prevented him from adding: “the best of all”!

Antar ‘Inter-’ [but probably short for Antartica] (Avalanche) – Piloto do Força 2000 - P.O.L.A.R. ‘Driver of Force 2000 – P.O.L.A.R. (Plataforma de Operações Laser e Ataques Rápidos ‘Laser Operations Platform and Quick Attacks’) [Battle Force 2000 Dominator Snow Tank]
Main specialization: Driver of armored vehicles. Secondary specialization: Survival under extreme negative temperatures. With its glacial temperament, Antar feels comfortable living with white bears, in its natural habitat: mountains of snow! The white immensity had not more secrets for him: he knew everything, even the dangerous pitfalls of [the] region. With his experience and cold-blood [i.e., self control], it was the missing element to the Force 2000 [to] never get a chill [or, cold-hearted]! His equipment: • Mini-nuclear power plants for multi-use, in belts and arms; • Self-propelled boots for snow and ice; • Control intercom to P.O.L.A.R. vehicle; • Rocket-laser flags, on the leg; • Jumpsuit with reflected instant camouflage. Antar has a nickname: “Abominable Snowman”. The Destro Force suspects that it is not [his] only nickname, no… Mini-nuke packs! Nice! Not sure what "rocket-laser flags" are, but I couldn't find any other translation for it. The closest I could find was a word relating to "signals", so maybe the device enables him to launch rockets? I always thought the figure simply had a knife on his leg... |
