"CRUSH THE CHEAT COMMANDOS!"

Blue Laser is the sworn enemy of the Cheat Commandos and plans to take over the planet using various schemes. Sometimes they are attacked by the Cheat Commandos, even if they are doing nothing wrong. They are a parody of COBRA, the principal evildoers of the G.I. Joe cartoons on which Cheat Commandos is based. This can be seen in the fact that Blue Laser:

  • Has a Commander with a high squeaky voice and a partially obscured face
  • Threatens to blow up the ocean (as Cobra threatened to do in one G. I. Joe episode)
  • Succeeds only in blowing up its own minions
  • Fires lasers of opposite color than the heroes (in this case, blue—the same color Cobra used in the G. I. Joe cartoon)
  • Wears Cobra-inspired uniforms—blue bodysuits with their organization's logo positioned on the center of the chest

Remarks

  • If you watch closely, you'll see that Blue Laser Commander's eyepatch moves from one eye to the other, depending on which direction he's facing, indicating that his cels are merely flipped over.
  • Actual Blue Lasers are currently used for certain medical applications (e.g. corrective eye surgery), and will be used prominently in Sony's new high capacity Blu-Ray DVD technology.
