This page is dedicated to COBRA and its Commander.  Specifically to making lots of cheap jokes of them, because we like them and they are cool.   This is the poor, tortured leader of COBRA, for whom nothing ever goes right.. He's so cute though. He acts like a nine year old kid, and yet he has his own terrorist organization.  How cool is that?
 
  Cobra Commander is cool in many ways, but his most memorable feature is his voice- Chris Latta.  Chris voiced many characters from the Sunbow cartoons, but most of them were Regular Guys (Gung Ho, Sparkplug, etc).  Latta's awesome villian voice was reserved for cool-ass bad guys.  Starscream (Transformers) had it.  D-Compose (Inhumanoids) had it.  And Cobra Commander...  he had it in spades.
  Sunbow liked to fool around fitting the continuities of its cartoons together.  The third season of Transformers was set in 2006, after the Transformers movie and apparantly after the downfall of Cobra.  In the Transformers episode "Only Human" we got a cameo from Cobra Commander, semi-retired and dealing out Cobra's old hardware for a living, going by the name 'Snake'.  He sells Cobra's 'synthoid' technology to the fledgeling terrorist Victor Drath. 39k wav   After Drath's defeat, he laments the lack of good terrorists these days..  106k wav

The excellent websites I stole most of my images from:
Extensive Enterprises:  http://www.extensiveenterprises.com is just AWESOME. In addition to its own kickassness, it hosts much of the content from (the now defunct) Zartan's Domain. The navigation's a bit iffy though. Click on the "EE" logo in the top window to get to the Cobra part.
QuickKick's Theatre:  http://qktheatre.com/program.htm

If I have stolen an image from you and not given you credit, I deeply apologize.

Zartan gets away with murder because Cobra Commander thinks he a sweety.
