Ok, I don't get what the big deal about the Crimson Guard is. I mean don't get me wrong, I liked them a lot as a kid. Hell, I still like them now. When the 25th came out I was army building them first. They still outnumber my vipers. But what makes them so cool? I mean their uniforms are less functional than the normal Cobra Trooper and Viper. They are accountants so are they cool because they can do your taxes? For about 25 years now I've been trying to figure this out. Can somebody give me a better answer than "because they are" or something down those lines?

I'll give you that but when you were a kid what did your Crimson Guard members do when you were playing? Just saying, you wouldn't pick the bright red uniform for your best troopers in the field.

In the cartoon it was a bit inconsistent, the CGs seemed to just be "elite mooks" the twins brought with them into Cobra. In the comic their purpose was a lot more clearly defined, and were far more dangerous as a whole. Cobra rarely won a decisive military victory, it was their backroom dealings and covert shenanigans that really frustrated the Joes. Quote:
Again, I think they were more of an Honor guard, fanatically loyal to CC and surrounding him at all times to keep him safe from threats within Cobra as well as from outside. They might also accompany Cobra forces in small numbers, acting as CCs eyes and ears among the ranks, like a secret police. Last edited by Zefram; 12-16-2010 at 06:41 PM.. |

Quickly! Cobra's Crimson Guard vs Empire's Crimson Royal Guard.
Who takes it?

Also, when they said their initiation ceremony was too hideous to mention really freaked me out as a kid. That's why I like the CG. |
