The Headhunters, a notorious gang led by the cunning and ruthless Headman, serve as Cobra's street-level enforcers, operating beneath the shadowy umbrella of the Cobra organization. These enforcers handle the gritty, often dangerous tasks that Cobra Commander prefers to avoid, although he eagerly reaps the profits generated by their activities. Specializing in a variety of illicit enterprises, the Headhunters are heavily involved in the trafficking of illegal narcotics, where they navigate the treacherous underbelly of the drug trade. Additionally, they engage in the illegal firearms trade, supplying weapons to those willing to pay a hefty price, and are notorious for committing grand theft auto, stealing high-end vehicles to further their operations or resell for profit. Their brutal reputation and willingness to do whatever it takes to protect Cobra’s interests make them a formidable presence on the streets.
These street-level enforcers of Cobra have a distinctive and preferred method of executing their demands: the use of a 12-gauge shotgun. This choice of weapon reflects their no-nonsense approach to collecting what they believe is rightfully theirs. However, they're not limited to this; their resourcefulness means that almost any means of intimidation or retribution is on the table when it comes to ensuring compliance. These enforcers are known for their brutality and are often regarded as ruthless foot soldiers, instilling fear in those who cross their path or fail to fulfill their obligations. Their relentless pursuit of Cobra's interests makes them formidable opponents in any confrontation.
The grenadiers serve a crucial role when the need for total destruction arises. Typically, only one grenadier is assigned to each unit, reflecting both their specialized skill set and the strategic importance of their duties. Equipped with advanced grenade launchers, these street-soldiers are capable of neutralizing a wide range of threats, from enemy troops to fortified positions, with precision and efficiency. Their training allows them to assess situations quickly and choose the right type of grenade for any given target, ensuring maximum impact and minimal collateral damage. Whether in urban combat scenarios or open battlefield engagements, the presence of a grenadier can shift the tide of battle, making them an indispensable asset to any military operation.
