I really doubt he is disfigured. I think that the writers will stay away from that what with 2 of the main characters already suffering that fate.
Didn't it feel a little weird to have both Destro and CC looking so similar with shiny smooth dome heads at the end of the film? Just saying...

Somehow, I'd also like to think it was like "Kodocha" where he was wearing the mask because his girlfriend didn't want him to get hit on by other women.
(Really, who could blame her?!) Okay, seriously...at this point we don't know. But I'd prefer him to be all rugged in post reconstructive surgery mode. Or just incredibly hot, as seen above.

The Snake-Eyes in ARAH was rendered a disfigured mute when the copter that he and Scarlett was on went down. In trying to rescue Scarlett? He got a face full of helicopter fuel in his face for his efforts.
Now in ROC? We learn he's a mute because he took a vow of silence after the death of his master. All well and good but one question: Why is he wearing a mask? Storm Shadow didn't wear his all the time. We see in the flashback where he's a boy he looks normal, but a lot could have happened. Who knows? Maybe he was disfigured or even lost his voice since he took that vow. In the deleted scenes, there is probably something about how Snake Eyes took a vow to mask his face at all times. As I have mentioned in the past, the things they changed are not really that superior than the way things were originally. So why did they bother? Answer: Stephen Sommers is bonkers and just doesn't appreciate the backstory and thought he could just slap something together which was better than the original. I hope they learned with this crappy RoC installment that just isn't the case and the original was better.

As far as the movie lets on, Cobra commander/ Dr. Lewis and Destro are disfigured. Also, Someone let Darth Vader know CC stole his breathing apparatus thing. Snakes is simply masked, and not talking. Although there were grunts and such from him in the battle scenes. I've stated before, no need to deviate from the source material. And what is Hollywoods obsession for trying to do things 'better'? It almost always fails.
Cobra Commander didn't have health insurance like Darth Vader. As we all know, Vader had insurance which covered the sleek sexy imported Industrial Light and Magic evil mask. Rex "The Commander" Lewis was merely on US governmant VA medical care and it would only pay for the crappy look-alot-alike Paramount Pictures mask. It does the same job but is just doesn't look as good. Poor Rex. Hope he can get to Joecon next year and pick up a real Cobra Commander helmet with the CHROME FACEPLATE. Lets all hope so!

Off topic a bit, I noticed that PPSE does not have a mouth. Does the other ROC SE have a mouth?

Oh well the screenwriters said they were writing the script as they were actually shooting the scenes!!!! That sounds like slapping it together to me.
The establishing shots of the PIT and the FLAGG had extremely poor CGI. That was slapped together no matter how much they tried. If you compare it to Transformers for example, Bay actually shot on film an aircraft carrier. Then they digitaled all the meteors colliding into the carrier. It looked real and magnificent. I would say the same thing for RoC but they CGId the entire scene. The sand dunes were CGI!!! The should have filmed that. I don't have to be in the boardroom. I saw the final product and as any good cinema buff will tell you, RoC was slapped together. I don't care what they say to the contrary.

The first RoC Snake Eyes has the crappy mouth. Don't think I will buy him.
