Cobra's 1983 Personnel and Equipment

Destro: the latest in a long line of weapons designers and dealers, James McCullen Destro XXIV has no problem selling his family's wares to the highest bidder. While personally honorable, he has no problem working with the likes of Cobra and other despotic villains... Destro comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Doctor Venom: this veritable Mad Scientist is primarily responsible for Cobra's early technological prowess. Devoid of scruples, Doctor Venom will happily build anything Cobra requires of him - as long as they continue to fund his increasingly insane (yet effective) projects... Doctor Venom comes in Classic and Saga styles!

H.I.S.S. Drivers: trained in the use of both High Speed Sentries and F.A.N.G. helicopters, Cobra's H.I.S.S. Drivers are the cream of their terroristic crop. Much less expendable than Cobra's standard troops, these fellows are highly skilled in all manner of vehicular combat. H.I.S.S. Drivers come in Classic and Saga styles!

Major Bludd: originally a Major in the Australian Special Air Service, the promise of riches lured Sebastian Bludd away from his patriotic duty and transformed him into a rather amoral mercenary - a path that ultimately led to a lengthy stint working for the likes of Cobra! Major Bludd comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Scar-face: one of Cobra's elite officers, Scar-face has an extensive background in espionage circles, which allowed him to get far in Cobra's hierarchy. Through no fault of his own, however, he wound up getting on Cobra's bad side, and paid for his allegiance with his life! Scar-face comes in Classic and Saga styles!

Viper Glider Pilots: Cobra troopers who show the proper inclination and ability are trained in the basic arts of aerial combat - and let loose with their very own Viper hang gliders! Of course, while the job pays more, it makes Viper pilots easier targets in battle... Cobra's Viper Pilots come in Classic and Saga styles!

the Fully Armed Negator Gyrocopter, Mark 1: the F.A.N.G. is is one of Cobra's main air support vehicles. Heavily armed for a vehicle its size (much less a flying one), the F.A.N.G. is highly maneuverable, and in the hands of a skilled pilot, it can also be incredibly deadly. The F.A.N.G. comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the High Speed Sentry, Mark 1: the H.I.S.S. is Cobra's first mass-produced tank-like vehicle. A treaded vehicle with a serious top-mounted, twinned 90mm gun turret, the H.I.S.S. delivers serious fire power that is second only to an actual tank in practice - and still has the ability to chew them up when it has to. The H.I.S.S. comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the System: Neutralizer - Armored Kloaking Equipment: designed and built by the despicable Doctor Venom, these battlesuits make an ordinary infantryman as powerful as a tank. Additionally, Brainwave Scanner components in the armor allows a remote operator to seize control of its pilot. S.N.A.K.E. Armor comes in Classic and Saga styles!

the Viper Glider: a great vehicle for both emergency insertions and stealth operations, the Viper Glider is also a very disposable vehicle. Cheap to mass produce and pretty fast despite having no onboard propulsion, the incredibly quiet Viper Glider is more than worth the price tag. The Viper Glider comes in Classic and Saga styles!
