"This is Destro, have you found the intruding Tiger Force yet?!"

"Sir, our team has located Duke and Recondo and have engaged them."

"We need them alive!"

G.I. Joe A Real American Hero! 1993 - Code Name: Crimson Guard Commander - Cobra Elite Officer - Battle Corps - Even Duke admits they are some of the toughest Cobra soldiers he's ever had the displeasure of dealing with, especially when they are armed with their weapon of choice: modified AK-47 laser assault rifles! They're very good at being very bad, and have participated at all levels of Cobra operations from industrial espionage to full-scale global attacks. Cobra Commander considers them his top officers, and feels safe having them swear their allegiance strictly to him. For if they were to ever turn against him, they would prove to be his second most feared enemy, next to the Joes of course!

This is really clever!

Astoria is behind the war

Okay, so in the Destro miniseries, Destro thinks that the Crimson Twins are behind the attack on his arms faire, while the Twins themselves claim that Destro attacked his own event to justify attacking them. Now, we know that Destro didn't attack his own arms fair. However, it's also very clear that the Crimson Twins aren't behind it either. For starters, they would have attended the event if some last minute business didn't hold them up. Second, and most important, the drones that attacked the arms fair are almost as advanced as MARS' own Battle Android Troopers... except Extensive Enterprises doesn't do advanced tech; their strength is in the manpower of their Crimson Guard forces.

I know that a lot of people have already figured out that there's a third party involved in all of this that is pitting Destro and the Crimson Twins against one another, and they're the ones behind Chameleon. A lot of people theorize that ths third party is probably Cobra Commander.

Personally, while Cobra Commander might be involved, I think the one behind the attack is none other than Asotria Carlton-Ritz, the new CEO of Hybrid Technologies.

Astoria's inclusion in this comic was certainly a surprise. After all, she's a SUnbow Cartoon original character, and only showed up for one epsiode, "The Girl who loved Powerglide," where she was depiced as a sort of air-headed but good hearted heiress with the curious habit of machines randomly stop functioning in her presence. So yeah, I certainly never expected to see her here in the Energon Universe, let alone attending an illegal arms fair.

Even more curious is that it seems as if her ability to make machines stop working around her has crossoved over with her; during the attack on the Arms Fair, a bomb falls near her and Destro, but it doesn't detonate, which makes the latter write it off as a dud. In Issue #3 though, Scrap-Iron looks over the bomb and discovers that it was fully functioning, and can't explain why it didn't go off.

Then there's the mysterious Chameleon (traditionally Baroness' half-sister, who works for G.I. Joe). In the same issue, when Chameleon attacks Destro, all of Destro's tech mysteriously stops working.

In fact, at one point, when Destro tries to flee on his Despoiler, Chameleon points at it, and then it crashes.

Now, do I think that Astoria still has an inexplicable "Machines break around me aura?" Not really. Do I think that her company, Hybrid Technologies, has developed some sort of device that stops tech from working, and that Chameleon made use of that device against Destro, as well as the drones? I sure do.

Kamakura: "You're a hard snake to reach."

Serpentor: "Indeed, but to what do I owe a visit from G.I. Joe's newest recruit?"

Kamakura: "Well, you know, I just figured, no matter what anyone says, the direct approach is always THE BEST ONE!"

Serpentor: "...Really?"

Tiger Force Duke and Tiger Force Recondo find themselves hunted by a Cobra H.I.S.S. - High Speed Sentry and a few Crimson Guards, a B.A.T. and a Crimson B.A.T.

Cobra Commander five minutes after giving this speech:

"What do you MEAN they're not cutting defense spending!? We've denied them untold billions in tax dollars! Where are they getting the money from!? Oh, they're just going to eliminate social programs and rob social security? Damn... this country is going to conquer itself. We're not going to have lift a finger..."

Tomax & Xamot lyrics

Intro

Introducing the leaders of the Crimson Guard

The evil twin brothers Tomax and Xamot

*The Gods*

*Enter in the realm*

*Xamot, Tomax*

Verse 1: Apathy & Esoteric

Welcome to the terror drone, laboratory full of clones

Battle Storm's shadow and shatter his fragile bones

That I condone, I spit it with a dastardly tone

Chrome gats get blown, no you can't inhabit the zone

Back from the swampland, face camouflage like Zartan

On four wheels, is she real in a retinal scans

Wrecking your plans, call your medicine man

We the evilest twins, roll through on his tanks with rims

Snatching limbs outta timbs, three, two, one

Diabolical separating dictator's molecules

To create a leader that's unstoppable

Highly logical rhyme agenda Dr. Mind Bender lies ender Tomax and Xamot

Spray blocks you can't enter

?

And metamorphosizes

For many more surprises

The masters of disguises

We slip through the cracks, attacks and hack systems

Slap and hack victims up, Ap inflicts 'em

With poison deployed like venom when I scream (cobralalalalalalalala)

To summon my team, it goes

D, E, M, I, G, O, D, Z

Got a posse that's hard as the Crimson Guard be

Hook

*The science of the future is the Gods*

*The science of the future is the Gods*

*The science of the future is the Gods*

*Cause ain't no Gods that will put you out your misery*

Verse 2: Apathy & Esoteric

Ayo we think alike speak alike, thoughts travel at the speed of light

Read and write the same and stand at an even height

And G.I., being our B.I., we don't believe the hype

Freedom fighters kneel down down to the evil type

The ice-cold arctic flow, my arsenal grows

Armed with arsenic tipped arrows and crossbows

Froze, bodies of Joes, extract their souls

We just tag em with the Mac never tag their toes

We leave 'em Red (uh), Fred (uh), Duke (uh), Dead

Aquatic amphibious tanks roll through cities

With cannons aimed at enemies, bombing 'em biochemically

The energy from our weaponry tends to be epidemically

Fatal the brief case of the table let's do biz

We moving missiles and guns, employing prisoner's sons

The Battle Android Trooper that stunts

With a phaser attached, fatal attacks

We pack, lasers and gats

Amazing acts, leave your database and face cracked

I made your blood with a layer of mud

From the swamps that I stomp with dreadnoughts and thugs

I'm firefly with a light-green submachine gun

We be like Tomax and Xamot watch your team run

Hook

[dberl]

Proof that the Crimson Guard are Cobra's most intelligent troopers: they have a union

“How ‘bout after our break, Destro? We’re union ya know!”
