#mass device

Cobra Commander and Destro used the M.A.S.S. Device to execute various plans, including the theft of a powerful satellite and the attempted destruction of major cities. The device works in conjunction with a satellite and small homing beacons to focus its energy on specific targets. In one notable demonstration of its power, Cobra Commander made the Eiffel Tower disappear from view.

Multiple humans have experimented with teleportation technology—numerous scientists in the employ of the United States government devised a warp gate, and the sinister Destro has often lent his MASS device to the services of Cobra, allowing them to rapidly transport personnel around the globe and even into Earth orbit as needed. I certainly hope that none of them are under the influence of alcohol, however—the consequences could be quite messy indeed!

To function it uses catalyst containers that contain metallic meteor flakes, heavy water, and radioactive crystals. Working simultaneously with the Relay Star satellite and coin-sized homing beacons, over 10,000 tons of matter can be teleported to or from anywhere on Earth.

Snake Eyes has dueled — and defeated — the most fearsome ninjas alive, so his courage is without question. Yet one of his bravest acts was when he exposed himself to a deadly radioactive cloud so that the team can escape from attacking Cobra forces. Snake Eyes is trapped in the Arctic cave with the poisonous gas until accidentally freed by Cobra troops. He struggles through a blizzard, trying to return to headquarters with the rare crystals urgently needed for the M.A.S.S. DEVICE machine. During that march, he finds a wolf caught in a trap and sets it free; the grateful animal becomes the ninja’s loyal companion and brave friend from that moment on.
