GI Joe tv series question
 

In the series that ran through the 80s, Cobra Commander wears a metallic helmet for a certain amount of time and then switches to a blue fabric hood. Was this switch ever explained?

Also was the Joe chain of command

Hawk > Duke > Flint?

Hawk>Duke>Flint>Sgt. Slaughter>Beach Head

Serpentor>Cobra Commander>Destro>Dr. Mindbender?

metallic helmet was for battle, hood was for casual wear/gala events.

Captain is right, the helmet is just for battle.

I think the hood was also used more in the comics once he started to switch more into a real terrorist with his plans and goals.
