I posted this once before, but I always thought it the mirror was that when you looked upon Cobra Commander, you were seeing yourself. It sort of showed some of how he viewed the world: that we were what made him who he was. When you looked at him as evil, you saw yourself. Cobra was all of us.

I always thought it was mind games - like you said when you face him you face yourself

actually it's used for intimidation AND security. The facemask has been used for centuries for that purpose: The witch doctors mask, the metal face-shaped face plate used by the romans, the identical facemasks worn by ancient armies(Like the immortals from 300), all the way up to todays dark or mirrored glasses worn by lawmen. All this is referred to as the "Blank Stare" and creeps most people out. From a security point of view, it's impossible to tell who is under the mask or what he actually sounds like... all he has to do is take it off and nobody would know who he was and could easily escape any enemy.

you guys are reading too much into it. its just a mask. destro's mask is mirror like as well. we know its purpose but the material isnt really relevant. its like saying darth vaders helmet is nice and shiny so you can see yourself in a dark reflection. a mirrored mask looks cool.
