When Serpentor decided to keep the Commander around , why wasn't the Commander now a lower rank than a viper or the Baroness instead of Serpentor's second - in- command?

In part 5 of Arise, Serpentor, Arise, Cobra Commander convinces Serpentor that he needed the commander as a scapegoat, because Serpentor was intended to be the greatest leader in history and has just lost the battle of Washington D.C. Someone lower than a Viper doesn't make a good scapegoat. You can't blame corporate losses on the janitor, after all.
That scene is sort of cringey, but Cobra Commander was actually saving Cobra for himself (to regain power by undermining or assassinating Serpy) and if CC was captured by GI JOE, no one would rescue him this time. |

in the comics, they clash after Serpentor leads the successful evacuation of Springfield and CC realises Serpy isn't the perfect soldier, he's the perfect leader. They bicker and then CC leads an attack on the lower levels of the PIT to try to out-do Serpy and is left trapped when Hawk and other officers collapse part of the PIT. CC survives, escapes, briefly quits, get shot in the back but survives again and comes back after Serpy died in the Cobra Island Civil War and resumes command.
