So what was their deal? We're they just an elite Cobra sub-group responsible for stealing and repainting G.I. Joe craft? Was their ever a definitive story line for these guys?
Please dont say it was to make money off of repaints..I know this, I just want to know what their "storyline" story was. |

They were the answer to Tiger Force. Their camo was pure "stealth". They were supposed to be the cream of the crop of cobra forces, although the DiC series didn't give them as much bang for their buck as the old commericals did.

In my Joe-Verse, the term "Python Patrol" does not exist.
They are, instead, how Serpentor redesigns the COBRA uniforms to better match him for the time that he rules COBRA. He purges blue from the uniforms and vehicles. COBRA under Serpentor is referred to as the COBRA Empire and his followers are Imperial COBRAs. So, a Python Patrol "Crimson Guard" isn't a Crimson Guard anymore but a COBRA Imperial Elite Trooper, etc. The Conquest is Slipstream's plane and Serpentor flies it after it is redecoed. It was captured by COBRA and Serpentor killed Slipstream personally.

Neither did the comic, giving them much play and punch.
The comic never showed if the paint actually worked as the couple of times it went past radar, the radar was actually off. Tiger Force only made one appearance and I don't think Night Force ever showed up.

They're a small, special unit specializing in stealth and sabotage and are trained in the use of specially modified enemy and cobra equipment.
Being led by Copperhead, I keep them in the swamps for missions that need more skill and professionalism than you'd get from the Dreadnocks. |

I'm getting that Python Patrol jingle as my ring tone.

Didn't they get injected with some kind of "Pythonization Syrum" in the cartoon, as well as the vehicles being "Pythonized?"

I've always been too much of a traditionalist to appreciate Python Patrol or Tiger Force. Even as a kid, I sort of pretended it didn't exist.
I'm the same way about comics and super heroes, but I've gotten a little more open minded as I've gotten older. |
