More Cobra stories are always fun stories to be honest. Cobra Commander has a larger facility then Captain Grid-Iron and his team could ever dream of, and recreating it in photos is tricky but I think I pulled it off.

For this episode I really wanted to showcase what Cobra's base, The Deep (no relation to the movie of the same name), looked like but also had to decide what a base would look like that 3.75" tall toys could build.
They can't build with wood or nails or metal really, but cardboard covered with aluminum foil and other discarded objects seemed to be the right direction to go with this base.
This part is Dr. Mindbender's laboratory and is where all his machines and experiments are located. His teleportation machine is a hodge podge built from the packaging of two Skeleflex kits, a chrome gold sprue from Mattel's Secret Wars Doom Roller vehicle, a red crystal from a Geodraxus figure, some Glyos parts, a clear cylinder from an old Art Asylum 3" Mini-mates figure and the back pack for Sonic Fighters Road Pig.
It's hilarious that they gave him a computer back pack seeing as the guy is a punk and wouldn't even know how to use one, but since it has a monitor and a Cobra emblem on it, I had to use it in his invention.
Fun Fact? I had to take the back of a Funskool Captain Grid-Iron figure and screw it onto the machine as it was the only way for the back pack to peg onto the machine. You can see a dark green object in some of the photos.
Not much in the way of deleted scenes in this one, so on to part 2!
