To me, that could become a simple/possible Trooper- or Viper-type nemesis for him in the purple/black or blue/black if we don't see Charbroil right away.

the purple certainly looks very Cobra...

I've been looking through the Creating G.I. Joe book #8 and appreciating some Ron Rudat designs/initital concepts for Cobra Blackstar and Flash.

I feel guilty about posting pages straight from the book, so I tried to trim down the image at the expense of the name. Bra'ackstar sounds like he needs a Baron von in his name.

The write-up mentioned snake details that Ron Rudat included in his sketch that had to be removed from the o-ring figure. It would be cool to see some of his designs brought into Classified, as the design team seems to like small, eye-catching details.
