''The Sssonic Emitter must be fully functional within 48 hoursss doctor. Once it is operational, we will watch as cities across the globe tear each other apart from the inside. Their citizens will do our bidding! We will move in and take over at our leisure. Nobody will be able to ssstop me! Not even GI Joe! Cobraaa!

Cobra Commander came about halfway through the project. I had already decided to include Talking Battle Commanders Hawk and Stalker, so Cobra Commander was a natural addition at that point. Even if he is LBCish, I'm pretty happy with the result.
