Didn’t see this posted. I just got the new Cobra Commander and Gung Ho 2 pack and when you take Cobra Commanders helmet of it doesn’t have Beach Head’s head but the Crimson guard’s head with the blond hair.
I didn’t read the comic yet so I’m not sure if it has to do with that. |

Yeah, Hasbro showed pics awhile back of this being more of Fred than CC. Not like any of us haven't already done this conversion. LOL
Not sure if they colored his hair differently or not. would hope so. Still looking for this set...

This is a homage to the Marvel comic when a "Fred" attempted to wear CC's battle armor and take on his role as the leader of the organization. So, it makes sense that this is the head underneath that helmet.

It doesn't look much darker. I have to confess, I have heard the name Fred used with Cobra Commander before but not sure what the deal is. Is that his real name? His son? His double? Who is Fred and what does he have to so with Cobra Commander?

I wonder why CC kept mask on all the time. Even I always thought Snake Eyes was all disfigured but the new comic pack with Hard Master showed him to be a plain ninja like Storm Shadow. He is mute after all, so I thought maybe he got into a bad explosion, disfiguring him and rendering him speechless. What's the story with Snake Eyes' muteness anyway? Does anybody know?

Yeah, the comic pretty much answers all the questions. I really like how they have "Cobra Commander" on the cover, and "Cobra Leader" on the side, saving the surprise for when you actually open the package and read the book. It's a crappy-looking comic pack on the outside, but on the inside it's a brilliant idea, giving us a semi-obscure character who wouldn't make sense as a single card (unless it were a secret varient) and a nicely recolored Gung-Ho at a discount.

SE was in an explosion.. A copter crash which severed his vocal cords and disfigured his body. Thus why he is mute and wears the mask.. they often show him without the mask in some of the comics. Just a blonde guy with lots of scars across his face.
the Armored CC suit was created by Fred to wear after CC's alleged death. When CC came back and killed fred, he only wore the suit once before having it destroyed and returning back to his hooded outfit.
