Classified V1 CC is hideous on it's own merits. Here's why:

1. Helmet shape: It sucks
2. Weird cape shoulder pauldron with multi wrapped bondage chain: Ugly
3. Knee boots: Hideous
4. Spainish style armor toe and heel covers on boots: Makes them uglier and adds a pointy upturned toe.
5. Suit design: Busy with 0 style. They just kept adding elements until they ran out of room.
6. Flintlock pistol: What the actual fuck?

I'll also add that classic Cobra Commander is one of my favorite designs in ARAH. It's timeless. In addition I think the entire first wave, with the exception of Destro, are pretty bad. I'm all for different looks for classic characters if they are done well. But none of those are. They are a busy convoluted mess.

As you can tell all of my problems with the "design" are presented without an ounce of personal opinion. These are all facts and based on incontrovertible evidence.
