$21 $27
Description: The Dreadnoks are a fictional biker gang from the G.I. Joe universe who are affiliated with Cobra as shock troops, offering their mercenary services as subordinates of their leader, Zartan. All Dreadnoks are uncouth and violent, and usually engage their enemies with unconventional and creative (many times crude) weaponry. Most, if not all, have shown a particular taste for chocolate-covered donuts and grape soda. The Dreadnoks also make a habit of torturing captured enemies, usually in bizarre ways such as exposure to pain-inducing laughing gas or tossing victims into pools of man-eating piranhas. Their headquarters is a compound hidden somewhere in the Florida Everglades.
Description: Of all the Dreadnoks, Road Pig may be the most fearsome of them all. With his immense strength, violent temper and antisocial behavior, he should have been a natural member of that infamous group of bikers. Yet, he was considered as too obnoxious and smelling worse than the other Dreadnoks care to be. He should have of gotten the boot right from the get go but, like the outlaw gang that took him in before them, they found it hard to say no to him. To placate him, they had to put him in "probationary status", making him the only member to have ever undergone this process. Right now, he's so obnoxious that they would like to kick him out but they still have yet to figure out how.
Description: One of the more eerie operatives in the employ of Cobra, Zartan unnerves both colleagues and opponents alike with his ability to alter his appearance and blend in with the environment. As a master of disguise, he has employed both practical and technological means of deceit, utilizing makeup and holographics. In addition to disguise, he is an expert in ventriloquism, a versatile linguist and escape artist. Zartan is a difficult man to capture and hold as he has shown to be proficient in several martial arts, some of which are believed to be derived from ninjutsu. Cunning and intelligent, Zartan is the complete opposite of the band of biker miscreants he leads, the Dreadnoks who tend to rely on brute force. In most continuities, he has two y
Description: Bases of Operations: Australia; the Florida Everglades; New Jersey The Dreadnoks are a reprehensible group of mercenaries, vandals and thieves who worked for both Zartan and Cobra over the years. Specializing in violence and destruction, the Dreadnoks have no regard for anyone or anything but themselves and fast money. Their diet consists of little more than chocolate-covered donuts and grape soda.
Description: Zartan is a master of make-up and disguise. Very little is known of his background, but he is suspected to have received European military academy training at St. Cyr. Zartan can alter his skin color at will to blend in with his environment and is a practitioner of several mystic martial arts. He is also a ventriloquist, a polyglot (speaking over 20 languages and dialects), and an acrobatic contortionist. Zartan and the Dreadnoks have also been known to use holographic technology and other means to disguise themselves.

Description: The Dreadnoks began as a violent biker gang that seemed intent on causing destruction and mayhem wherever they went. The Dreadnoks come from all paths of life be it the army like Zartan, university like Buzzer or reform and correctional institutions like Ripper and Torch, or even from a good middle class background like Thrasher, but they all turned to violence for the sake of violence, fun, money or anarchy. Terrorizing innocent people and destroying property seemed to be their main goal, along with the occasional felony. At some point, the mercenary Zartan began to hire Dreadnoks as brute force and often used them as diversions for his more subtle operations. Zartan worked mostly with the main group of Dreadnoks, Ripper, Torch & Buzzer.

Description: In a desperate attempt to keep Cobra functioning and solvent, Cobra Commander packages Zartan and the Dreadnoks as a heavy metal band called "Cold Slither," proving that there really isn't much mercenaries won't do for money. Baroness explains that her plan is to slip subliminal messages into their album so that Cobra will be able to lull the minds of every listener into supporting them. Of course, like all of Cobra's plans, things don't go as planned, and the Joe's turn the tables on them in the end, making Cold Slither nothing more than a footnote in rock history.
