* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: ''Three'' times he has shared a voice actor with Starscream. Most famously Chris Latta, who voiced the characters in exactly the same way. Charlie Adler (who also voiced Starscream in the live action Transformers movies) seems to have become the new "definitive" voice of the Commander, having voiced him in ''Resolute'', ''Renegades'', and the second live-action movie (Named ''Retaliation'', amusingly establishing something of an "R" theme there).

* [[Same Character but Different]]: One aspect of the character seems to be his characterization is constantly changing between shows, even if they're nominally supposed to be in the same continuity. In ''Valor vs. Venom'' he's his old whacky 80's cartoon self, in ''Sigma 6'' (which was nominally a semi-direct sequel to ''Valor vs. Venom'') he's reinvented as a dead-serious warrior king, and in ''Resolute'' he's an insane murderous sociopath. This even happens in the live action-films: in the second live-action film, Cobra Commander is reportedly still Rex Lewis, but will apparently be "a completely different character" than in the first film.
