I will say I legitimately LIKE the twist the movies gave on Cobra Commander by making him an ex soldier, and even Duke's friend previously. In the case of RoC, I'm not sure I'd change THAT much, story wise. I'd keep the general structure of events, but I think the biggest changes I'd make would be the establishment of Cobra as behind behind the events (HE contacted McCullen about Nanomites, McCullen didn't actively know about them until then). So here's how the story would have changed: Duke and Rex Lewis were a part of Special Ops/Intelligence team investigating a series of unusual deaths in a region the "normal people" couldn't get to. McCullen did the same, sending his Iron Grenadiers resulting in a pitched battle. While Rex made contact with Dr. Mindbender, the IGs called in an artillery strike which wrecked the lab (seriously wounding Rex). The "if we can't have him, no one will" situation. (During the Nanomite Transfer, add dialog indicating that it is general, but unproven, knowledge McCullen's connection to the Iron Grenadiers) Duke is forced to withdraw with his team. After days/weeks of being in intense pain and no rescue in sight, he becomes enraged at BOTH sides. Taking the view NEITHER deserved to have control over the world, so someone else should. Dr. Mindbender shows him the Nanomite tech, using Rex as a quasi-guinea pig while repairing his body (but leaving horrific scars in the process). Dr. Mindbender and Rex ultimately make contact with a PMC crew commanded by one Sebastian Bludd and make plans for a new world order. Dr. Mindbender ultimately makes contact with McCullen, and the events of RoC then proceed largely as done (I'd actually replace Anna Lewis with Major Bludd or Firefly, and completely removed the sister from the equation.). McCullen still gets horrifically burned/injured in the final battle, and is lead away by Dr. Mindbender. On the sub, Dr. Mindbender forces McCullen to take Nanomites to repair his wounds...leading to the grand reveal of Cobra Commander, who managed to infiltrate not only MARS with Dr. Mindbender and Bludd/Firefly and several key agents, but used Destro's money and resources to develop his own forces. Along with using Destro's resources and Mindbender's Nanomite tech to replace the US president. This would also open Baroness in the next film as the brother of a scientist Cobra used to weaponize the Nanomite warheads.

Exactly. ROC shouldn't have re-written Cobra's rise in the first place.
