Love the pilots, Zulu. The Joes never really had any realisitc looking pilots. Ace was a freakin astronaut; Slipstream was more accurate but you couldn't remove his helmet and I never liked the slipstream that much. Will Bill's got character, but realistically he's not going to flipflop back and forth between helicopters and heavy transports. No way. Pilots can learn multiple aircraft types but they stick with one at a time. Too much to keep up with different type aircraft systems.
Troy, I don't know why but I'm digging the ROC boonie hats. One of the reasons why I want to get the Pit Commando. A green boonie would look great on a 25th Muskrat or perhaps a new Shipwreck in tactical SEAL gear. |

So we've discussed this briefly before. But what is the command hierarchy for your non-army-building Cobras? Who outranks who?
Commanding Officers: Gobulous Serpentor Cobra Commander Destro Baroness Dr. Mindbender Crystal Ball Major Bludd Tomax & Xamot Wild Weasel Lampreys Senior NCO Equivalents: Storm Shadow Firefly Zartan Zarana Zandar Copperhead Buzzer Torch Ripper Monkeywrench Thrasher Zanzibar Roadpig Gnawgahyde Who am I missing? |

Speaking of pilots, what did you think of Ace showing up in the new IDW comic as a helicopter pilot?

On one hand, it could mean there's no fighter air force, which as we've talked about, makes alot of sense for a unit like the Joes.

Yeah, come to think of it, they haven't used any jets or heavys yet, but someone's gonna have to transport them quickly across the country. I wonder how they'll work that element in. At least Ace has a real pilot's uniform and helmet now.

Probably still use the C-130s. But it makes alot of sense to not have a fighter unit.

Cobra Commander (Founder & covert company "director" of sorts; unknown to the public) Destro (President & Chief Executive Officer) Fred Broca (Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer) Baroness (Senior Vice-President & Chief Information Officer) Tomax (Vice-President & Chief Financial Officer) Xamot (Vice-President & Chief Marketing Officer) Dr. Mindbender (Chief Science Officer) Major Bludd (Chief Tactical Officer) Crystal Ball (Chief Public Affairs Officer) Guys like Wild Weasel, Scrap-Iron, Zartan, Firefly, Storm-Shadow and the Dreadnoks are external augmentees/specialist contractors who aren't part of the corporate chain of command. Other positions, such as training officers, accounting officers, human resources officers are filled by qualified Cobra Officers or Crimson Guardsmen.

Here's my take: 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. Dreadnoks are SGT Majors in Rank except Buzzer who I treat as a Captain. Once your named you are getting Major pay and respect and command. Vapor and the Hammerhead Driver I Army build a little so I don't have them up there. |
