COBRA C.L.A.W.S. are COBRA's new elite troops. These lightly armored heavy weapons specialists can take a lot of punishment and dish out even more. With new lightweight, ionized fiber armor (developed from stolen US Army technology), they can move quickly into position with the latest weapons, to take out large targets—including G.I. JOE's vehicles. The grunts are all competing against each other to get into this new squad, but only the best and nastiest ones will be chosen. The COBRA C.L.A.W.S. want revenge against HEAVY DUTY because of the damage he did to their ranks when they were trying to take over a global satellite communications network.
"Our weapons are the best—we can squeeze the enemy into a corner or snap them in two with crushing firepower."

The COBRA C.L.A.W.S. pilot takes to the skies as part of the air assault fleet in the COBRA organization. He is part of the COBRA C.L.A.W.S. elite troops, lightly armored heavy weapons specialists who can take a lot of punishment and dish out even more. Specially trained to operate the advanced technology that makes the COBRA helicopters and planes so menacing, the COBRA C.L.A.W.S. pilot conducts fast-attack missions and provides air support for ground troops. Arrogant and hot-headed, he looks for opportunities to start air battles with the G.I. JOE team, just so he can show off his piloting skill and demonstrate weapons expertise.
