* IncrediblyLamePun: Apparently a tendency of his.

[[folder: Shipwreck]]

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: She's been a high-ranking Joe from the start, and she can definitely fight.

* CloningBlues: His shapeshifting abilities are a side effect of being a clone of the original Zartan.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Flint's daughter Marissa Faireborne exists in this continuity, but Lady Jaye is no longer Marissa's mother.

* TheBusCameBack: He was originally in the ''Bumblebee'' Miniseries tie-in all the way back in ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW. After that story concluded he disappeared from the narrative, only to reappear in Bumblebee's spotlight tie-in to ComicBook/TheTransformersDarkCybertron and later appear as a semi-regular in RID's Earth Arc.

* CanonForeigner: Created for ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye as a tie into Revolution.

* MythologyGag: his group name and vehicle are references to the British localisations of G.I Joe, Action Force and Action Man.

Given his nickname by Joe Colton for his disruptive talents, Miles Mayhem was a member of the Adventure Team specialising in espionage and black ops strategy. Later in life, he would go on to found Project Spectrum, which eventually resulted in the creation of [[ComicBook/{{MASK}} the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand]].

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: After his death, he revives in the body of the Maximal Centurion, with there not quite being a MentalFusion]].

A secretive, underground international conspiracy and criminal organisation with its fingers in criminal activity across the planet; it eventually comes to G.I. Joe's attention, and becomes their main nemesis. Eventually, the second Cobra Commander would bring the organisation out of the shadows to devastate the country of Nanzhao and show the world that they were to be feared. Years later, however, Tomax reformed the group into a "legitimate" peacekeeping organisation, until the interference of the Baroness caused them to collapse.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Chimera's story initially appeared to imply that he will become Cobra Commandr (as made evident by the character's similarities to the Marvel Comics continuity's version of the character and appearing to fake his death after successfully setting up a pyramid scheme), but later installments of this continuity provide irreconcilable revelations of Cobra's origins, leaving the actual fate of Chimera and the repercussions of his scheme unaddressed.

* AdaptationNameChange: From "Kessler" to "Kessler-Latta", after Chris Latta, Cobra Commander's voice actor from [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero the animated series]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's been a high-ranking Joe from the start, and she can definitely fight.
