Title says it all: What was the one Cobra plot that you think almost beat the Joes and managed to take over the world? Do you feel that if Cobra tried a second time with the same plan but a different execution they could have succeeded. I mean, that episode where they melted all the money should have done it. Come to think of it, was a single win all Cobra really needed to more or less declare total victory? Once you get just one world domination plan operating successfully, it seems like you just sit back and put your feet up. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 05:32 on May 10, 2023 |

Probably the movie. Though that was technically Burgess Meredith's weird snake cult's doing more than just Cobra.

There was also the Operation: Dragonfire which was a five-parter where Cobra dominates for 4 1/2 episodes before G.I.Joe pulls some mystical bullshit out to win.

Cobra Commander was basically Donald Trump in that he could have won easily except he’s so goddamned stupid and narcissistic that he’s his own worst enemy.

When Cobra Commander had Duke on his knees in front of him, with a gun at the back of his head and said "Alright Joe! Let's see if you guess as well as you foil my plans! I'm thinking of a number between zero and one million, if you guess correctly I'll let you and all the rest of the G.I. Joe's go.. But if you guess wrong then I'll personally execute you and every one of you f****** scum." and then Duke guessed 4000 and that was right so he had to let them all go.

Didn't the comics have a storyline where Destro or whoever set off some nukes in the ocean to create a new landmass, and then had his goons rush over and claim the new island as a property of Cobra? And the Joes were all ready to go over and kick their asses until they were told that Cobra Commander had managed to, in the course of like a day, have his army of lawyers get the place recognized as a sovereign nation by the UN and legally GI Joe couldn't operate in their territory. So all they could do is stand there with their dicks in their hands while Cobra Commander laughed it up and set up his evil fortress like fifty miles off the US coast.

I think technically that multi-part art where Cobra "makes" Serptentor could be classified as a Cobra win? I mean...it worked! The Joes didn't stop the birth/cloning/creation of Serpentor.

Remember the alternate reality two part episode where a bunch of Joes went to a reality where Cobra won and one of the Joes found his own corpse and dog tags in a cave and freaked out? That was heavy stuff when I was like 5 years old.

Cobra would have done a lot better if they'd ever decided they needed to kill off a bunch of characters to make room for new ones (and thus, new toys to sell) See Transformers: The Movie where they kill the poo poo out of absolutely everybody, including offing Optimus Prime in like the first 20 minutes and having Megatron straight up end an autobot execution style while the autobot is literally wrapping his arms around Megatron's legs begging for his life.

They have exclusive bullets that they shoot behind enemies that launch them into the air while flipping forwards. Mr.Pibbleton posted:Didn't one of the guys who found his own corpse also make out with the Baroness that episode? I think so: his alternate reality self was in love with the baroness. I think he's the same one who got poisoned by the dobsonfly looking insect, too.

Hell yeah, and he decided to stay behind with some other Joes to help rebuild that world. As an adult I found out they left all those Joes in that reality because they canceled their toys to make room for new ones, which is far more clever than just murdering everyone like the Transformers movie.

I don't think the two or three Joes that get left behind even had speaking roles before that 2-parter. Pretty convenient the nobodies get to stay behind! But yes, that one ALSO freaked little Bouvenstein the gently caress-out.
