Cobra Island
From Transformers Wiki
Located in theGulf of Mexico,Cobra Islandis the primary base of operations of the terrorist organization known asCobra.As such, it's the placeCobra Commanderspends most of his time shopping for discount cough drops online and thinking up snake names for weapons of mass destruction. TheUnited Nationshave given it status as a sovereign nation, even though it's run by a madman with a speech impediment who wants to blow them all up.
Cobra really lucked out on this piece of real estate, as its creation was actually the result of one of their dastardly scientists triggering an undersea volcano. It has extensive airfields, and a convenient landlocked freighter that has been converted into a swanky venue for entertaining diplomats.
