* ByTheBookCop: The military equivalent. Beachhead accepts that a certain amount of leeway and improvisation is crucial on the battlefield, but off the field he generally prefers things to be done according to military regulation. This has sometimes been used against him, such as in "The Most Dangerous Thing In The World" he complies with orders to inform Shipwreck, Dial-Tone and Lifeline that they've been made colonels (despite [[SpottingTheThread correctly pointing out Shipwreck isn't even in the army]]) or being fooled by Zarana's forged papers in "Computer Complications" and allowing her access to the Joe computer centre because said papers claimed she was authorised.
** However, in the latter case Beachhead's insistence on sticking to regulation makes him a SpannerInTheWorks to Zarana's infiltration, since her forged papers only give her Secret access while her target is in the Top Secret area. Mainframe manages to get her inside by pointing out to Beachhead that his orders come straight from Duke, and so Beachhead reluctantly allows her in.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: The pinnacle of the Cobra air forces.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: After their first appearance in the "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" miniseries, they are generally and quickly gunned down by the Joes by the dozen (as mentioned under VillainDecay). However, whenever a ''single'' B.A.T. is present, you can be sure it'll be a lot harder to bring down than its brethren. A prime example is the solo B.A.T. from "My Favourite Things", which among other things successfully steals a painting of Rasputin from a hotel in the Swiss Alps before surviving a mountain fall with little damage and then ''walking'' back to base, gets impaled on a spike in Vlad the Impaler's castle and then snaps the spike to continue attacking, and is only brought down when Wetsuit splatters it with a highly potent acidic venom during the climax.
** Another example appears in "In The Presence of Mine Enemies", where despite an entire squad of B.A.T.s hunting Slipstream and an injured Strato-Viper, the one B.A.T. that corners them is basically a BossInMooksClothing and only goes down when Slipstream manages to smash it in the faceplate with a beaker of concentrated hydrochloric acid, causing its internal mechanisms to short out. The remaining B.A.T.s aren't quite as threatening.
* ImplacableMan: When not brought down straight away, the B.A.T.s come off as this.

** That said, in "In The Presence of Mine Enemies" one of the things that triggers Strato-Viper Raven's MookFaceTurn is the B.A.T.s repeatedly attempting to kill her alongside Slipstream. That could simply be chalked up to the Cobra officers simply deciding she was expendable.

* BareYourMidriff: Her normal outfit.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Part of the reason she develops an attraction to Mainframe in "Computer Complications" is just because he's nice to her.
* DatingCatwoman: Averted. While both Mainframe and Zarana acknowledge that their attraction was real, they also both know that there's no way it'd work out. That doesn't stop her from giving him valuable assistance in "Grey Hairs and Growing Pains", while he tells her to hurry and get away before someone sees her and realise she's just betrayed Cobra.
* FieryRedhead: She's no quiet wallflower, and her temper is bad enough that the other Dreadnoks scatter when she gets riled up enough.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: When Mainframe proves to be a hindrance to her mission, she tries to crush him by unsettling some crates of parts down onto him. Unfortunately for her, the crashing crates cause a domino effect that almost crushes '''her''' too if not for Mainframe tackling her to safety.
* MasterOfDisguise: Like her brother, she is adept at disguising herself.
* RescueRomance: What actively triggers her interest in Mainframe is him pushing her out of the way of some falling crates (not realising she'd tried to crush him using said crates). He then follows up by apologising for hitting on her, and then taking her out to dinner, and ''then'' defending her honour from an overly familiar waiter that turned out to be Zartan in disguise.
* SheCleansUpNicely: As her disguises can attest, she can be outright beautiful when she wants to be.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: During her undercover operation in "Computer Complications", she and Mainframe develop an attraction to one another. It's powerful enough that in "Grey Hairs and Growing Pains" she quietly assists him by informing him where to go and providing him with valuable information. This relationship was dropped in the [=DiC=] continuation, where she'd suddenly hooked up with Destro while Mainframe didn't even appear.
* TheBrute: In regards to infiltration. While both Zartan and Zarana infiltrate facilities by using masks, forged papers and acting skill, Zandar does so by simply sneaking in (e.g. scaling walls and the like).
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Unlike his brother and sister, Zandar isn't much of a MasterOfDisguise. He is, however, almost as good as they are at infiltration. He does this despite wearing bright red warpaint and no shirt.

* WorfHadTheFlu: In "Computer Complications" he attempts to infiltrate the Joe computer centre. Unluckily for him, one of the Joes on duty that night happens to be Low Light, the Joe night vision specialist.

Revising now that the last issue of the IDW continuation has been released.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Zig-zagged. His counterpart in the [[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroMarvel Marvel Comics continuity]] was captured alive in his final appearance, but he was killed off in the Devil's Due continuity, which was eventually rendered non-canon due to being supplanted by [[ComicBook/GIJoeARealAmericanHeroIDW IDW's own continuation of the comic]], in which the Headman has yet to make an appearance.

* ThePeterPrinciple: What makes him such a GeneralFailure. His fussy nature makes him very effective at maintaining and running the team's communications equipment, but it leaves him completely incapable of making decisions, especially during a crisis.
* TragicDream: Neither Lifeline nor Shipwreck desired a leadership position, but Dial-Tone did. His inherent quirks, however, mean he just doesn't have the ability to lead. Learning that firsthand is a sad realization for him.

* [[MalevolentMaskedMan The Faceless]]: As silly as he can seem, never doubt Cobra Commander is a very, very bad man. Several episodes show that he makes heavy use of slave labour, and that he isn't above a bout of watching people fight to the death in a gladiator ring.
