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: If there is one word to describe Cutter, it would have to be persistent. He actually wrote to his congressman for an appointment to get into Annapolis for two years! In the end, he realized his family lacked power and influence. That didn't stop him, he decided to join the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut instead. That same persistence made him one of the best Coast Guard patrolmen and netted a good number of drug smugglers. When he learned the G.I. Joe Team didn't even have one Coast Guard representative, he badgered the top brass so much until they pulled all the strings just to get him in and shut him up.
Description: COBRA scoured the globe to get remnants of Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Vlad Tepes, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Rasputin.

The plan was that Cobra Commander would remain in power.
