This seems to be something fans either love or hate. Personally I'm not a fan. I mean there are things I like about Cobra-La but at the same time, I much prefer Cobra Commander's comic book back story. Still I have to admit Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona are interesting designs.

I hate anything that takes away time from Cobra Commander.
Also, it's just ridiculous and contradicts earlier episodes of the show (it's obvious Cobra Commander is not a snake man).

I don't hate it, but I could happily do without it. Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for Burgess Meredith that I don't feel the same disdain as jscott991, but I do agree with him.

Nah, I look at all joe media having some kind of merit.
Golobulus is to Unicron as is to Horde Prime Serpentor is to Megatron/Gavatron as is to Hordak Cobra Commander is to Starscream as is to Skeletor You can see the tropes from three different toyline/80s media property kind of fitting. Pythona fits the Cyclonus mold opposite Serpentor, a claiming influence. Even though the movie not having much time to develop this idea, seems clear. But I always enjoy Cobra Commander a little more when he's on his heels and ploting and schemeing as opposed to everyone brain waved scannered and under his control near the end of the comic or whatever. Just my personal preference. So, Cobra La as a plot device more than central characters is how I see it. I understand this was created because Hasbro liked both of Buzz's suggestions for explaining the Cobra Emperor (DNA/made, secret society only Cobra Commander actually knew about), while Dixon definitely thought his first suggestion was the stronger of the two, but this is a toy company, producing figures is what they do and Cobra concepts were running dry. |

This is the only component I really don't like. CC didn't need to be part of Cobra-La's history

Hate is a strong word. And, yes.

Cobra Commander being a part of it also bothers me. But I'm not a fan of the concept in general. Or Serpentor. So, nothing of interest to me, though the biomachines that Cobra-La uses do give me Yuuzhan Vong vibes.

Yeah, snake people was silly beyond everything else. All in all, I lean towards the Hama comics myself, so tainted opinion.

Yes, with a caveat... I do like Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona (her infiltration of the Terror Drome was one of the highlights of the film), but I didn't like the whole bug civilization thing, Golobulus, or Cobra Commander originally being from there and getting mutated.

Yes, Destro sees him maskless at least once and multiple eyes and blue skin would certainly stand out, yet it doesn't seem to faze him.
