They haven't been seen, front-and-center, in awhile now. Black Major and Red Laser were kinda' just absorbed into Cobra, without any official announcement, circa issue 220.
By my unofficial scorecard, the only Red Shadow stuff n' characters we've seen are: -Black Major -Red Laser -Muton -Robo-Skull

Yeah, I agree with the above. In about a week I could try and get specific issue numbers but I don't have them with me now.
Red Laser has been shown to be a robotics genius, a scientist and appears to be working autonomously without oversight. At a different time the engineer Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones was in the same facility along with the woman Dr. Knox (the gal who had created advanced BATS at the end of the original half of the series). So, those folks all kind of travel in the same career field or freelancer pool. The Muton was pretty impressive. It took a lot of effort from several Joes on a ship to take it down. Black Major has shown up a total of three times I believe. He has been shown to be basically in charge of the Red Shadows. We have no reason to believe that Baron Ironblood isn't somewhere in the shadows giving him orders, but he hasn't been seen. Also, Black Major has been shown to be as cowardly as he is arrogant about his skills. And not super bright. There have also been a lot of Red Shadows, often working directly on squads with Cobra troopers. There is no obvious reason for the arrangement of troops working together that we know of, except that it seems plausible that they started working together specifically to build the giant Transformer robot in the Middle East.

I can't remember where I read it (or if it's true), but I do recall learning that those were the only Red Shadows that Hama knew about as well.
