COBRA C.L.A.W.S. are COBRA's new elite troops. They can take a lot of punishment and dish out even more. Suited up in specialized armor and packing heavy weapons, they move quickly into position to disable any G.I. JOE vehicle that stands in their way. The DESERT COBRA C.L.A.W.S. have technology to help them survive in the hottest, driest regions of the world—special suits with heat-deflection insulation and a body-cooling system. That means they can hide out where no one will find them, until it's time to strike. But they can't hide from G.I. JOE Team member DUSTY. He's tracked down their remote, hidden camps and crushed their evil plans, making him their number one enemy.
"We can survive in places where even rocks melt in the heat. The G.I. JOE team can never beat us."
