The truth about the brainwave scanner
First of all I think we should start off with some history.
I'm sure most of you who are familiar with Cobra from
some place already have a preconceived image of the
brainwave scanner and what it does. Well you just
might be surprised to hear it's not as bad as you think.
The brainwave scanner was originally created by that
genius of a Doctor named Venom. This version of the
machine was unfortunately a bit limited in use until
our very own Dr. Mindbender did some development work
on the concept, making the machine smaller for one
thing.
Here's a picture of Baroness in the brainwave
scanner, with Destro beneath them, just to show you
that the truth isn't all black and white. Now do you
seriously believe that Cobra Commander would have tied
one of his possibly closest assistants from Cobra's
early days to the brainwave scanner if it was in some
way truly harmful?
Another link to a picture
showing Clutch and Rock'n'Roll from G.I.Joe in the brainwave
scanner. This is another matter again completely, but
I'll get back to this when I have the time to finish
with my point. Let this brief introduction be a reminder
to you that there are 2 sides to every story and ours
has been neglected for far too long.
The brainwave scanner was also successfully used
in Millville, but more of that later, too.
