Line 41:
 
== Cobra is Starscream's side project. ==
Cobra Commander is Starscream's Pretender shell -- anshell—an improvement of the one the toy has.
 
Starscream is not the only [[Transformers]] character doing this. Soundwave is doing the same thing as Dr. Claw.
Line 50:
== Cobra Commander has a cousin we are also familiar with. ==
 
[[Watchmen (comics)|And his name is Walter Kovacs, AKA Rorschach.]]
 
There is a family resemblance - similar costumes, in some continuities; similar masks, for sure. Rorschach sounds like Cobra Commander pitched down an octave in the movie; in the comics, we get jagged-edged speech balloons.
Line 64:
 
== The movie trailer is [[Trailers Always Lie|lying massively]], and the Joes will not spend the entire movie as [[Powered Armor]] wearing boy scouts. ==
In the movie, after an initial action sequence, the Joe's nebbish accountant will destroy the accelerator suits, steal the prototype, and become Cobra Commander. This will force the Joes to rely on their own skills instead of flashy [[Transformers|Transformersesque]]esque Powered Armor. It would make sense for Cobra Commander to be wearing [[Powered Armor]] -- he—he's done it often in several continuities. The Joes, not so much. For them, it just seems kinda silly. Although seeing Dennis Quaid with a jetpack would be hilarious.
* Speaking of [http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=520&SBR=541&ST=PR&ID=24385&PG=1 Dennis Quaid with a jetpack]...
* Er... partially true. The accelerator suits are used in one action scene.
