So i've been on a bit of a GI Joe kick lately, and it made me wonder, what was your favorite Cobra Commander look? Personally, I liked the hooded look (either dark blue or black), he actually looked more threatening there, while the featureless mask made him look like a generic supervillain.

Hood with the eyeholes. His head looked like a Pac-man ghost.

See, I'm of the reverse thinking on that. I think it makes you look kind of weak and cheap to be the head of an evil terrorist organization with futuristic weapons and gadgets, and you're just rocking a ski mask.
The helmet looks more professional. But don't get me wrong, I respect both looks. And I do think of hooded Cobra Commander a split second before helmeted CC.

Hood (Black Uniform > Blue IMO)
But I don't mind any besides "Rise of Cobra" *shudder*

I never liked the helmet . It made him look like a generic soldier. He could easily blend into his own men.
The hood made him look like an authority figure.

I like the later spacesuit helmet look.
But of the earlier looks loved the hood. Somehow had 3 of the hooded Cobra Commanders. Ended up selling two of them to friends.

Helmet. Because... ...wearing it, he blew up Moscow. Not to say that Hooded didn't try...

Hemlet. The hood made him look like a two-bit henchman.

Helmet. Completely obscured his identity so that it would be easy to body double.
With the hood, you can get a retina scan.....

I loved this toy. The only Cobra Commander who had better gear then his goons.

I loved this toy. The only Cobra Commander who had better gear then his goons. I like Visored Helmet most, followed by Screwed Up While Tossing Pizza Dough And Just Went With It, but this look could use a little more play. I don't know if IDW or anything has done something with it, but it'd be cool if some adaptation threw a nod its way. I like the helmet for combat, whereas the hood feels more appropriate for ritual stuff with the Cobra-La shtick.

I like the whole notion of "hood while actually in Cobra facilities/managerial/leadership/etc, helmet for actual field work/battle", as mentioned. Also feel like at one point the faceless mask was intentional to hide him among the other faceless troops. Though again, with the right outfit underneath, both work pretty damn well:
