Old Snake's encounter with the Autobots reignited his taste for domination. To that end, he reactivated an old Cobra project to amalgamate Earth's greatest military minds into the ultimate warrior, using the discarded body of aSweepto do so. Unfortunately, theEarth Defense Commandinterrupted him, and GeneralHawk's brain was accidentally scanned, resulting inSerpentor,a Decepticon with EDC sympathies.Serpent O.R.'sWings Universeprofile

In the blighted reality ofPrimax 1185.04 Alpha,Cobra conquered the world thanks to theM.A.S.S. Device.When the Transformers woke up in 1984, the Decepticons found themselves unable to plunder the world and the Autobots, while disgusted by Cobra's junta, did not think it their place to interfere and quietly abandoned the planet. Megatron eventually teamed up withSub-Atlanticabut that only led to Cobra invadingthem,Cobra Commander just happening to have made soldiers with gills; Sub-Atlantica surrendered Megatron to Cobra Commander as a peace offering.
Eventually, some real American heroes showed up fromPrimax 984.17 Alphato get up in Cobra's grill.Ask Vector Prime, 13/6/2015

G.I. Joe and the Transformers
One way or another, Cobra made contact with SenatorBarbara Larkin.As part of an overly complicated scheme to save face, Larkin designed the unstablePower Station Alphawhich Cobra would then steal.Ashes, Ashes...
Even asCobra Commanderwas threatened by the upstartSerpentor,he sent theDreadnoksto steal Alpha only for the ineptitude to bungle things up, compounded by theAutobotsandDecepticonsinvolving themselves in things.Blood on the Tracks
In the battle, the Decepticons had used acerebro-shellto assume remote control of Alpha,Doctor Mindbenderhacking into it and bringing it toCobra Island.By the time it arrived, Serpentor had deposed Cobra Commander, with the Decepticons following the station.Shockwaveproposed that the two parties ally with one another, only for Mindbender to later overhear that Shockwave's modifications to Alpha would destroy the Earth.Power Struggle
Outmatched by the evil of the Decepticons, Cobra played along when ordered to attack theArkwhere they disabledDirgeas a show of good faith to the Autobots while theBaronessmet with Larkin. When the Decepticons prepared to destroy Earth, Cobra properly sealed their alliance with the Autobots when the Joes suddenly arrived,Ashes, Ashes...to join in hiding in theArk.Working together, all three factions managed to destroy Alpha. Cobra slipped away once Alpha blew up but their actions, along with those of the Joes, left the Autobots doubting if humans could ever be trusted....All Fall Down!
Operatives involved in this mission includedBaroness,Buzzer,Cobra Commander,Destro,Dr. Mindbender,Serpentor,Torch,Ripper,Zarana,andZartan.
Generation 2
In the midst of a scheme byCobra Commanderto bring new glory to his organization, the reconfigurableSilent Castlehe had seized fromDestrowas put into a state of constant metamorphosis. This caught the attention of a heavily damagedMegatron,who flew toTrans-Carpathiafrom Canada and was enraged to discover a non-sentient piece of architecture instead of another Transformer.Unfoldings!
This confrontation eventually led to an agreement between Megatron and Cobra whereby Megatron would receive a new, more powerful body (designed byDr. Sidney Biggles-Jones) in exchange for the technologies of the downed-but-functional AutobotArk.Realignments
Cobra helicopters led Megatron and the unearthed Ark from Canada to the Cobra-controlled town ofMilleville,New York, where its brainwashed denizens began to unload the spacecraft. Their operation was discovered by theG.I. Joeteam, who Megatron was vocally uninterested in battling.Goin' South
Not too long afterwards, a group of Autobots (Brawn,Chase,Hot Spot,Override,Skydive,andSteeljaw) arrived and battled Megatron in Milleville, causing considerable damage to Cobra's property holdings and destroying any vestiges of the town's use as a secret base.
As the situation continued to degrade, Cobra Commander ordered an evacuation of the town's assets and personnel from a position near the Ark. Megatron then arrived, and having captured Dr. Biggles-Jones, abruptly disregarded his previous agreement with Cobra Commander. He took the Ark for himself and blasted off, much to Cobra Commander's extreme annoyance.
In-transit, Megatron voiced that he had transferred a virus that had been implanted in his new body by Dr. Biggles-Jones to the Cybertronian technology in Cobra's possession, which would render it inoperable.Final Transformations
Operatives involved in this mission includedCobra Commander,Dice,Night Creeper Leader,Dr. Mindbender,Road Pig,Slice,andZarana.
Following Megatron's departure in theArk,a convoy of Cobra vehicles departedMilleville,safeguarding a transport containing the (unknowingly infected) Cybertronian technology they had acquired.
The convoy was assaulted by AutobotHot Spot,who feared the havoc that could be created by the alien technology in Cobra's hands. As Cobra soldiers prepared to retaliate against him, they were cut down bySnake-EyesandGeneral Hawk,which gave Hot Spot the opportunity to destroy the transport.
Surrounded and heavily damaged, Hot Spot destroyed himself rather than be captured and dissected by Cobra's technicians for knowledge.All or Nothing!
Operatives involved in this mission includedCobra Commander.
Transformers/G.I. Joe
In1938,Major Sebastian Bludd discoveredMegatronand hisDecepticonsin a shrine in theFera Islands.Soon Megatron allied himself with Bludd's master, Cobra Commander, and they joined forces to conquerEurope.Even the mightyMaginot Linecould not stop them as they rolled throughBerlin,Paris,andRomeand enslaving their inhabitants. Before long, the Decepticon/Cobra onslaught reachedGreat Britain.
However, treachery from Destro, the Baroness, andStarscreamled the newly formed G.I. Joe team to theirTerrordrome.The LineWhile engaging Cobra troops commanded by Storm Shadow, the Joes encountered theAutobots,who repaired and revived themselves. The Joes soon found themselves under fire from a squadron ofRattlersandSeekersled by Wild Weasel,Transformedbut they were driven back byLady Jayeand theAerialbots.
As this transpired, Megatron attempted to dispose of his insufficiently-efficient human partners, but was humbled by aMatrix-bearing Cobra Commander.
While the Cobra aircraft were driven off, they left behind paratroopers andRumble.Trial by FireThe Joes managed to defeat the troops, andBumblebeeandScarlettdestroyed Rumble, but Zartan managed to murder and replaceBreakerin the confusion. He was quickly discovered, but not before he allowedSoundwaveto captureFlint.
Storm Shadow left the main Cobra force to engage in a deadly duel with his sword-brotherSnake-Eyes,now a member of G.I. Joe. Despite the intervention ofRavage,Snake-Eyes defeated Storm Shadow, who was then eaten by a shark.
Soon, Cobra prepared to defend the town ofTorhavnagainst the approaching Autobots and Joes, using slaves as human shields.WolvesAnother Cobra air attack was foiled by Lady Jaye andSuperion,leading to the death of Wild Weasel, and Lady Jaye defeated Bludd and theDreadnoks.Meanwhile, a small Joe strikeforce infiltrated the Terrordrome, destroyingFrenzyin the process.
As the Joes, Autobots, and an Allied fleet neared,Shockwavedestroyed Superion and a number of ships, damaging himself severely in the process.TrenchesBut despite heavy losses, the Autobots soldiered on.
Destro and the Baroness took advantage of the chaos to unleash their monstrous creationBruticusupon both sides—but not before slaying their co-conspirator, Starscream. Bruticus' attack crippled Cobra Commander, allowing the Baroness to execute him with Megatron's pistol form. Her victory was short-lived—before the Commander's body could cool, she and Destro were arrested by Scarlett and Snake-Eyes. As the metal monster tore through the Autobots, Snake-Eyes took the Matrix from the Commander's corpse and destroyed it, killing the Autobots, Decepticons, and Bruticus and ending the threat of Cobra.The Iron Fist
Operatives involved in this mission includedBaroness,Buzzer,Cobra Commander,Destro,Dr. Mindbender,Major Bludd,Ripper,Storm Shadow,Torch,Wild Weasel,andZartan.
Some 45 years after the conquest of Europe, Cobra rose again. Under the command of Cobra Commander, Cobra established extensive operations in the United States. In1985,G.I. Joe attacked a Cobra shipping facility commanded by Destro. While the facility was largely destroyed, Destro and Scrap-Iron managed to escape viaTrouble Bubble.Soon afterwards, Cobra detected the crash of anAutobotshuttlecraft nearPortland.Their retrieval force was repelled by a team of G.I. Joe rookies.Targets of Opportunity
Operatives involved in this mission includedCobra Commander,Destro,Scrap-Iron,andSmith.
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
The fledgling terrorist organization Cobra discovered theArkand its Transformer crew instasis lock,and took them to their headquarters onCobra Island.With the help of mad scientist Dr. Mindbender and weapons dealer Destro, they turned most of the Transformers into remote-controlled war machines—with the exception ofMegatron,who was kept by Cobra Commander as a trophy, locked in pistol mode. They were smuggled intoWashington, D.C.using Cobra's front companyArbcoand used to strike at aUnited Nationssummit, causing mass panic.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #1
Despite problems reprogramming some units (especiallyOptimus Prime), Cobra launched an attack on theSPS Research Facility.While several of Cobra's Transformers were destroyed in the attack, thanks to the intervention of the newly formed G.I. Joe as well as two escaped Autobots,BumblebeeandWheeljack,Firefly managed to acquire the satellite technology and destroy the facility. Their success was short-lived, however, as Cobra's Transformers overrode their programmingen masseand rebelled against their masters.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3Cobra Commander was forced to unleash Megatron to battle Optimus Prime as he attempted to flee. As Cobra troops were slain left and right, the Commander and several other officers managed to secureS.N.A.K.E.suits and fight their way through the vengeful mechanoids.
Meanwhile, Megatron andSoundwavehad taken control of Cobra headquarters and used the stolen satellite technology to begin producingenergoncubes.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4The Autobots and Joes took the command centre and incapacitated Megatron, but were then alerted to an American nuclear missile headed straight for them.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5Enlisting the help of Mindbender, the Joes managed to shoot the nuke down with the SPS, with the side-effect of the satellite showering the island with deadly heat-blasts. After the blasts incapacitated most of the Decepticons, Optimus Prime managed to shoot down the satellite and defeat Megatron. Destro, Mindbender, and the Baroness escaped, and Cobra Commander fled with the aid ofStarscream.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6
Operatives involved in this mission includedBaroness,Cobra Commander,Destro,Dr. Mindbender,Firefly,Major Bludd,Storm Shadow,andZartan.
Over the next two years, Cobra rebuilt itself. G.I. Joe continued to bedevil them, breaking up a weapons-smuggling ring and capturing the cyborgified Dreadnoks. Eventually, Cobra hatched a plan to gain access toTeletran 3,a computer that would give Cobra access toCybertron'sspace bridgenetwork, allowing for instantaneous troop and supply movements. G.I. Joe agentChucklesdiscovered the plan, and led the team to Cobra'sBostonheadquarters. As the Joes attacked, they disrupted the gate, first sending the Joes, Cobras, and Starscream to Cybertron, and then scattering a number of Transformers throughout time. The time disruption threatened to destroy Earth, forcing Cobra to team up with G.I. Joe to retrieve the missing mechanoids.
