====Vehicles and Bases==== '''H.I.S.S Tank:''' The most iconic of Cobra's armed vehicles are the H.I.S.S Tanks; there have been at least ''five'' distinct models (H.I.S.S I-V), with most of those also having multiple specialized sub-models. '''Rattler:''' Cobra's most iconic flying machine, the Rattler is the basis of Cobra's air forces. Its prototype was the '''Diamondback''', which seems to have been derived from the French-built Mirage jet fighter. '''Night Raven:''' More advanced than the Rattler, the Night Raven is a supersonic jet fighter that makes up the elite of Cobra's air forces. '''Piranha:''' A Cobra fast attack boat, armed with machine guns, depth charges, missiles and torpedoes. '''S.N.A.K.E:''' Depending on the continuity, these lumbering humanoid tanks with their two modular weapon arms have been portrayed as both [[Power Armor]] and combat [[robot]]s similar to (but tankier than) the B.A.Ts. '''Adder:''' Basically a mobile missile launcher. '''Liquidator:''' An advanced tactical jet fighter aircraft. '''Maggot:''' A self-propelled artillery piece consisting of two interconnecting components; a forward attack vehicle and a combination mobile command center/long-ranged artillery tank that is towed behind it. Maggots are piloted by specially trained 4-man teams of Cobra technicians known as W.O.R.Ms. '''Mamba:''' Cobra's primary helicopter gunship. '''Mantis:''' One-man submarines equipped with subaquatic missile launchers and gripper arms, typically piloted by Morays. '''Moray:''' Not to be confused with the elite underwater operatives of the same name! The Moray hydrofoil is a heavily armed high-speed interceptor craft, a torpedo/missile boat intended for for amphibious operations, littoral combat, and high-speed pursuit. Very useful, but you gotta wonder if Cobra agents ever get the names mixed up. '''Battle Barge:''' Despite the fancy name, these are basically floating bunkers deployed to protect the waters around Cobra Island. Three-man teams spend long hours bobbing in the waves in all conditions, manning the radar and waiting to blast any intruders with the laser cannons. Not exactly a job that most Cobra troopers are jumping to do. '''Bugg:''' An amphibious fire-support vehicle, the Bugg may look stupid with its twin bubble-dome cockpits, but it carries a ridiculous amount of firepower. '''Buzz Boar:''' Up there with the kookier Cobra vehicles, the Buzz Boar is basically a subterranean assault machine, resembling a giant mechanical tire with a buzzsaw-like array of tunnelling teeth arranged around its rim. When powered on, the spinning of this "buzzsaw drill" lets it either propel itself along the ground, or chew through the earth below it, and a skilled pilot can burrow into and out of the earth as they drive along. It also carries two .50 caliber repeating machine guns and two short-range missiles, but let's face it, having one of these run you over is gonna be a real bad day. '''C.A.T:''' The '''C'''rimson '''A'''ttack '''T'''ank is the personal armored vehicle of Destro's private military, the Crimson Guard. '''C.L.A.W:''' Formally called the '''C'''overt '''L'''ight '''A'''erial '''W'''eapon, the C.L.A.W is basically a mechanized jet-powered hang-glider. Strapped to the user's back, this rocket-propelled wing is also equipped with machine guns, bombs and missile launchers. '''Night Adder:''' A sleek, futuristic-looking jet aircraft. '''Night Landing:''' Despite the fancy name, it's just a standard infiltration boat; auto-inflated bulletproof nylon/polyskin, an outboard motor, and an air-cooled .45 caliber machine gun. '''Paralyzer:''' A fast-attack tank. '''Parasite:''' A heavily armed APC capable of carrying up to 17 soldiers, though 11 of those will have to ride the exterior running boards. Carries a rotating quad-laser chaingun, two front-mounted dual revolving machine guns, a rear-mounted multi-barreled revolving machine gun, and a mega-blast bomb-firing catapult mounted on the roof. '''Pogo:''' Not even pretending to be a realistic armored vehicle, the "Ballistic Battle Ball" is basically an armored cockpit strapped to powerful rocket booster and a very strong suspension that doubles as a giant jumping spring, created for ground-targeting offensives in difficult terrain. It jet-bounces along, launching homing bombs and blasting things with an underslung twin-barreled armor-piercing machine gun. As if you needed more proof the designer of this was off his meds, these weapons are officially subtitled the HOBO ('''Ho'''ming '''Bo'''mb Systems) and the BONK '''B'''alanced '''O'''perational-'''N'''egation '''K'''inetic Weapon). '''Detonator:''' Using the same basic chassis as the Adder, the Detonator has been outfitted with new weapons for a role as a long-range anti-aircraft assault vehicle, making them integral to Cobra's air defense teams. '''Rat:''' A high-speed attack hovercraft created for use in swampy environments. It wards off enemy aircraft with two flak rotor launchers, and any infantry that survive being blasted by the twin double-barreled rotating machine guns then risks being chopped to pieces by the two front-mounted gyrating barbed slicer blades; normally used to cut through dense waterweed and bank grass, they also make a mess out of any grunt dumb enough to stand in the Rat's way! '''Riptide:''' An enormous and heavily armed deep sea attack submarine that also doubles as a mobile underwater base. '''Earthquake:''' As if to prove that the [[Transformer]]s weren't the only ones who could weaponize construction vehicles, Cobra made this thing, basically taking a bulldozer, super-charging the engine and strapping multiple missile launchers, laser cannons, mortars and a machine gun to it. '''S.M.S:''' Seemingly derived from the H.I.S.S Mk I, the Sentry and Missile System consists of a tank that also tows along a missile launcher, letting it fill the role of fire support. '''F.A.N.G:''' The Fully Armed Negator Gyrocopter is a is a small lightly armed and armored one-man helicopter best used for covert and fast-attack operations. It was eventually replaced by the turbo-prop air vehicle known as the F.A.N.G II. '''Scorpion:''' Officially classed as a Desert Attack Vehicle, the Scorpion is basically a jeep with a rotating missile launcher and a gatling gun strapped to it. '''S.E.A. Legs:''' Standing for Surprise, Engage and Attack Legs, these are basically Cobra [[Sentinel]]s. '''Sea Ray:''' Cobra's Airborne Submersible Delivery System., though it's also described as a glider with a purpose of submersible transport. '''Septic Tank:''' An "Anti-Environment Assault Tank", the Septic Tank is a repurposed H.I.S.S assigned to units of Toxo-Vipers and Sludge-Vipers that launches chemical weaponry. '''Ferret:''' Cobra's ATV of choice, this is basically a quad-bike with rocket-launchers, .50 calibre machine guns and a grenade launcher strapped on. Typically used by the light infantry and security details. '''Firebat:''' Cobra's interceptor of choice, this "light assault jet" is bascially little more than a seat, a minigun, and assorted mines/bombs strapped to a rocket engine. '''Stellar Stiletto:''' Cobra's own personal space fighter, essentially what happens when a jet fighter shags a spaceship. '''Flight Pod:''' Basically a seat with jet thrusters, a machine gun and long-ranged missiles strapped to it and a (hopefully) bulletproof glass dome over the top of it, this airborne 1-man assault craft has earned the nickname "Trubble Bubble" from G.I.Joe troopers. '''Sting Raider:''' A missile-armed hybrid of submarine and VTOL jet. '''Stinger:''' A 4-WD jeep with a back-mounted rocket launcher, favored for use in nocturnal assaults. '''Stun:''' A high-speed ground vehicle that resembles a motorcycle that wants to be a tank, created to serve as a patrol and pursuit vehicle for Cobra. '''Hammerhead:''' A "Submersible Sea Tank", this heavily armed amphibious vehicle can cruise along underwater, then run up on land to attack with its various weaponry. It also carries multiple small one-man detachable sea sled scout crafts and attack submarines. '''Hurrican:''' A VTOL fighter jet created to replace the Rattler and the Night Raven as Cobra's air fighter of choice. '''Hydro-Sled:''' A jet-propelled, low-slung two-man attack vessel intended for marine skirmishes.
